Being attacked by anything in the wild is serious business. There are many things you can do to prevent such a thing but what do you do when it happens anyway?
To make it clear, being attacked by a mountain lion is unlikely. Generally speaking, if you do not threaten them they will leave you alone. But, as we’ve noted before, not all wildlife is the same. If one of these cats is sick or even has some babies it wants to protect, it may act out of the ordinary. RE: Confrontation!
There are some tips and tricks you may want to learn ahead of time, however, should you find yourself wandering through a mountain lion infested area. We are all about preparedness and the moment we do not think something is important we suddenly realize it really was something we need to learn.
Go over to the next page and read up on ways to prevent a mountain lion attack and what to do if a mountain lion has you on its radar!

Aim small miss small.
Never run
Fucking dumb$#%&!@* shoot it with at least a .357
Never go hiking alone and always carry a fixed blade knife
BUST A CAP IN IT’S$#%&!@*!!!!
So if you aim big do you miss big??
Chancey Caldwell II
My buddy was talkin’ with the coroner dude who handled a jogger who got jumped some years back, and he said, “if one of these guys gets you, you’re screwed”.
Oh yeah, saw one strolling Walmart yesterday
Don’t give up, pull your knives and gut the Cat.
You do know cougars are Ambush predators, right???
Seven well placed .45 ACPs should suffice!
People are crazy to walk around without protection especially in those areas.
1)Never go hiking without some means of protection. 2)If you do, you kind of deserve whatever finds you.
You pull your gun out and shoot it
Bring my Malamute. Hell kick the Kitty’s butt.
Shoot it if you don’t have a gun with you at all times you are a dumb a*s
first they should remove gun from holster,safety off….then they should try to move on without incident….and dont take your eyes off the cat. if that ffails you have a right to life. apply rounds as needed until cat is gone
Fire a warning shot at the nearest tree, loud noises scare all animals. If it doesnt run from that ot is obviously sick or very hungry so youll moat likely have to kill it
That’s a beautiful dog! All though male lions are 30 to 40 percent larger than females. Though sizes vary greatly throughout the cat’s geographic range, a typical adult male will weigh 110 to 180 pounds and the female 80 to 130 pounds. Exceptional individuals have exceeded 200 pounds, but that’s a rare occurrence.. Not saying that he can’t but I wouldn’t want my dog unless it was a large breed going up against a 150 pound cougar

Malamutes were bred to hunt Polar Bears. I think when he’s grown he could hold his own. He’s 5 months and 60 lbs. His dad was 140lbs. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1859581254313318&id=100007843831414
The polar bear charged the Malamute and would up on the ground. And then backed off. Ha!
“What should you NEVER do?” Easy. Never stop shooting until it’s dead, dead, dead.
Especially in cities!
I’ve hiked, camped and done survival trips for most of my 70 years. Never encountered any danger. Between 16-21 was shot 4 times, stabbed and blown up, and then joined the army. I lived in Washington DC.
They are ambush predators. If you see them, they are very unlikely to attack.
If you jog past them listening to your iPod and eyes straight ahead, they will pounce.
Clark Burdine one of the highest risk factors for being shot is having already been shot.
In DC it was being white. … Didn’t help to have 23 inch inseams ( flight telex was useless) not being particularly short (my six five son only sits to the top of my ear) and having a much older brother as a police juvenile officer in the jurisdiction I went to High School (whoever he rousted on Friday and Saturday came looking for me on Monday) …. Didn’t help to have a “Marty McFly syndrome” either…More afraid of being thought a coward than common sense). Later, when confronted I’d have opposition sit next to me. When they’d look “UP” at my eyes their attitude improved.
In the army a Drill Sgt commented I ran like a cartoon character. Took years for me to find one to relate to: think Shrek, but without the good looks and sterling personality!
300 grain 44 mag hollow point!!
I just fight them off with Ameri-do-te
A well placed round in the head will stop them every time!
fly kick its face 3:)
Fill my cougar tag
Shoot that son of a$#%&!@*until it’s dead. Cut it open and use its heart and liver for catfish bait.
Give it lead poisoning, they are awful tastey. Lion enchiladas are really good
Pull out g23 and aim steady
Same goes for walking down the middle of the street in Anytown America.
This is one of the most underrated predictors around. Don’t hike Aline and be well armed.
Why waste the ammo? Shoot it, eat it, keep the pelt for a rug!
