This is why you carry a gun. "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

He references not having his gun around 2:50 when it does that crazy fake attack. Bet he never leaves home without it again  | |||

So, why did the cougar suddenly high tail out of there? The guy got nothing. Q | |||

In this situation the Sig would have been beneficial. In most cougar attacks your one dead motherfucker before you even know there is a problem. Them there kitties are ambush predators. Good thing cougars are mostly docile critters. | |||

I NEVER go out on the trail without at least a .44 mag. Typically I'm carrying an LAR Grizzly in 45 win mag. Mrs. DF used to kind of roll eyes when we were young and out hiking the mountains until we had a run-in with some aggressive wildlife. I didn't have to fire, but she was grateful I was armed. Now she makes sure I am before we even leave the house. This guy will likely never again hit the hills without a heater. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I think he finally picked up a rock and threw it at the cat. I get why he was reluctant to bend down and make himself appear smaller and possibly cause a charge but it was likely what ran the cat off. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

Yep. Walking toward the cat after you see it isn’t going to help your cause either. Especially when she has the little ones with her. ___________________________ Not giving a damn since...whenever... | |||

| hello darkness my old friend  |
Our Utah mountains are covered with these cats. If you are hiking the Wasatch front the cougars are watching you. Ain't no way around it. We have very few problems with the mountain lions. The deer fawns on the other hand have big problems with these cats. | |||

Perhaps it saw something off to the right of the screen out outside the camera view? | |||

I don't know the big cats well enough ... was that predatory behavior or territorial ? ____________________ | |||

That cat looked very thin and hungry. He was lucky. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Saw a conversation about the video on another site earlier but the link wouldn’t work for me. Someone in that thread mentioned he finally had the sense to bean it with a rock, which would make sense by the cat’s reaction. ___________________________ Not giving a damn since...whenever... | |||

This cat was not hunting the hiker. It was intimidating him. Notice how she was bluff charging, dog tracking and growling? These are tactics to drive a threat away. As soon as she figured he was far enough up the trail, she bugged out. If he were being hunted, she would have stayed hidden and quiet until she pounced. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||
