I got stalked by a mountain lion a couple of years ago while with a group on an "owling outing". She made her presence known, we stopped, and left her territory. The more reckless adults were all for continuing, but we had kids with us (trolling with lion bait) so we decided to go look for owls from the safety of the road.
Had we been attacked, after hearing her moving through the brush and hearing her warning growl, it would have been nobody's fault but ours. She would have been simply doing what comes natural, probably protecting a cub or two.

Had you been attacked, you would never have heard her.
