Hamm and yeggs! Can't say as I blame the lion.
I used to hike there as a kid. Never occurred to me that there would be mountain lions. For that matter, there probably weren't back then.
Lots of elk, though.

"After the attack, game wardens closed the park, about 320 miles north of San Francisco, and released dogs to track the lion. They later shot a pair of lions found near the trail where the attack happened."
Why??? I'll never get the liberal mindset on animals.

That Cat really made a mess of his face and head. It's a good job our pet cats aren't as big as our dogs......

I did a lot of backpacking and hiking in California when I was younger in the '60s and '70s. I always had either a .357 or .44 magnum pistol with me and accessible. I only came close to using it once, when I ran into a pack of wild pigs (with young) on the trail in the Ventana Wilderness. More pigs than I had ammunition (full load in the pistol and one full box), and there was a rock I could climb on and wait for them to move on. I spent an uncomfortable half-hour on the rock, though.

Interesting note from police investigative work over the years.
When a person dies at home, their dog will stand guard over the body until it dies of famine.
Cats will eventually eat the body for food.
To: Vaquero
LOL!
Could be a combination of that, and also a few snags encountered while in the process of domesticating the bigger ones! Refer to Siegfried and Roy for details.....

Wow... they're both quite a pair... listen to them!
Mrs Hamm said she grabbed a four-inch-wide log and beat the animal with it, but it would not release its hold on her husbands head.
Jim was talking to me all through this, and he said, Ive got a pen in my pocket and get the pen and jab him in the eye, she said. So I got the pen and tried to put it in his eye, but it didnt want to go in as easy as I thought it would.
When the pen bent and became useless, Mrs Hamm went back to using the log. The lion eventually let go and, with blood on its nose, stood staring at her. She screamed and waved the log until the animal left.
