You've undoubtedly read about mountain lions. They are after all one of the most feared predators in the United States, and most of this fear is caused by misunderstanding these wild creatures. Though, they certainly are dangerous enough that you should respect them.
The chances of you coming across a mountain lion are slim to none since they tend to be reclusive creatures that are fearful of humans. They rarely attack humans but never say never.
Even though being attacked by a mountain lion is rare, attacks could have been prevented by learning ahead of time what you should and should not do. Follow these rules and you'll have a better chance of surviving if you were ever to come across one of these predatory animals.
Find out what you should and more importantly shouldn't do should you ever encounter a mountain lion on the next page.

If your first line of defense is NOT to be willing to kill…. then you will be a statistic.
Ooh ooh!! I know I know!!! you don’t miss with the first shot.
Unfortunately in some areas if you do kill one of these to save yourself you become prey of the federal government.
Hanta Viris from those field mousies ! Lol
I’m 47, live on the edge of the mountains in a 5th wheel camper with no running water, in bear and cougar country.
I pack over 100 lbs up the mountain ridge, solo, as an average weekend hike. I’ll be a pretty good statistic no matter how I go.
Don’t poke it with a stick
It’s still a cat… you can easily outsmart it. If you can’t deal with wildlife, stay in the house.
Didn’t read it , but assume it says to say ” psst, psss here kitty ,kitty” .
Two large Mastiffs with spike collars and a 44 magnum.
Hopefully it runs away, but better to be prepared.
Hog leg !
Say, “Here kitty kitty”, and if it comes scratch it behind the ears.
NEVER RUN!!! FACE THEM AND SHOOT.
Pepper spray? Yeah no, that doesnt even stop people, i will stick with one of my pistols
Sock him in the mouth
Yeah, as soon as I see it’s click-bait I’m done. I just came back to see the comments.
Say here kitty,kitty!!!
Click bait
Drew Picoult this may come in handy given your location..
I would Glock them.
That’s because the author would rather throw his purse at it.
So I’m not supposed to bend over and go here kitty kitty?
CLICK BAIT BULLSHIT!
When I was about seven or eight we were living in Butte Falls Oregon I was on the way home from school one day I was the oldest so I was walking home alone and the afternoon the only reason I saw the cougar was because she had to be young but she was stalking me fortunately I was close enough to home I could start screaming my head off fortunately my mom heard me there is a way and animal particularly a cat will look at you if it is hunting you all you have to do is pay attention to the Motions your house cat makes that mountain lion was about to pounce on me
Thats why i carry
I came within 40 to 50 feet of a mountain lion that I’m 6’2″ and 280 so we both decided to go our separate ways , or he just wasn’t hungry
Always carry a gun when hiking.
Taurus judge with long colts
Or my improvised bang bangs made from black powder and hollowed wood blocks
Problem i had it was a thick wooded area. Couldn’t spot anything around me. It’s an eerie feeling walking in dead silence
I have Bronson for bait to get away haha
Retarded advice. Carry a damn firearm if you’re in mountain lion country. Problem solved.
Kitty! I wanna let the kitty!
Hey, assbuts! No hurt the kitty! Kitty just wants to be left alone.
Because they were idiots who bathed once a year and married their cousins?
Did you really just say That? Your house cat would kill you if it weighed 50lbs more
I love masyifs but I would put my money on the cat
^^^Who the lions or the government?
Teddy Kennedy To change the wheels on his horse? Oh, I get it, the 45 long colt is a ‘wheel’ gun so he would need a jack. Funny! Not, jackass!
Shoot it and eat it.
Those suckers are amazing
pet the kitty LMAO
Seth Reynolds I think two of these guys can take care of the mountain lion.
Try and feed it venison from my lips?
Shoot it in the face twice and chest once.
Haha
LMMFAOOO
House cats usually don’t mess with you unless you’re dead. Drop dead near a cat however, usually takes em less then an hour to take a bite of your face. And yes I said that. Stand by it too. You have a human brain. It has a cat brain. If you can’t outsmart it -stay in the house.
Even if you miss with a .45, it may make that cat hesitate enough to end up with a good rug.
something you should never do is go into the wilderness un-armed !

Like never wear Ode of catnip as your deodorant?
I say govt.
