Mountain Lions: Attack Man, Eat Human, Attack Dogs, Unafraid

Provide extreme protections for large predators.

Predator populations increase.

Human populations increase.

More conflict between large predators and humans. Who would have predicted this!/S

[Texas Eagle]

Grrrrr! Don’t you just hate it when people who talk on their cell phones while hunting? If I was a hunter, I would.

[FreedomPoster]

How long until we have this story regarding wolves?

[Spruce]

Did Tonto write that headline?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Don’t know about going for a handgun when you could belt kitty with over 2 ounces of #6 shot.

Why didn’t he use the shotgun on the mountain lion? Birdshot, at close range would have done a number on it. They are not hard to kill, as evidenced by the 9mm.

I would not have taken the risk on pulling another weapon.

He was hunting pheasants with his 9mm...??? I’m impressed.! :)

[Rinnwald]

Jinx.

[EEGator]

"Tanto" Paronto?

Of course I get it. :)

[marktwain]

I have not been able to contact him for an inteview.

I would love to talk to him.

[Seruzawa]

They are called wild animals for a reason. This is why I never go into the woods without at least a .44 with 300gr bear busters.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I guess the guy never read any Capstick.

[Rinnwald]

With help by Frankenstein and Tarzan.

[metmom]

If they have cell phone reception, they are not far enough out in the woods.

Intelligent people know better than to go into wild areas with large predators unarmed. Yet unarmed people go into Chicago (and other large urban death zones) by the millions everyday.

Not the best response. Empty your shotgun then pull your pistol. What was this guy thinking? BTW, I like #4 for pheasant, it delivers better energy and knockdown at longer distances.

[real saxophonist]

LOL!

My guess is the charge was not immediate and straight at him.

The dogs and the lion might have interacted. He might have had time to drop the shotgun and draw his pistol.

One poster at AmmoLand said he might have trained himself to drop anything and draw the pistol...

Perhaps it went like this:

See lion.

Drop shotgun, draw pistol.

Lion charges.

Shoot lion.

Two dogs involved, multiple scenarios possible.

[real saxophonist]

I regularly ride the Poudre Trail in northern Colorado, and there have been a couple of times when signs warning of mountain lion sightings were posted. And this is 50 miles east of the mountains.

And yes, I am always armed when I ride.
