Sasha Siemel killed over 300 jaguars in his life with a spear and a jaguar is considerably bigger than a cougar. Masai warriors take on lions with spears and a large lion is 3-5 times heavier than a cougar. This is a situation where your first mistake is your last.

That is for certain. Miss the lion and it's likely to swat the spear right out of your hands or pin the end of it to the ground as it leaps over it to you.

Nice reason to have hunting buddies with their own spears. Then maybe you have a bit more margin to make a mistake and live to learn from it.

Sasha Siemel often carried a .38 revolver as well as the spear.

Don’t know if he used it on many cats.
