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.

Very rarely seen because of their reclusiveness. They are here in Maine too.
Go places where there is mountain lion….duh
I would rather run into a bear again, anyway! Mountain lions are no joke for sure!
CARRY A PISTOL shoot it dead
Never under any circumstances point your smith and wesson model 27 at the mountain lion. Lol
Be a man and make it your pet. If it attacks be a bigger man and punch it in the eye.
That’s a good way to piss it off. Go .44 mag or .50
Kill it?
Came face to face with one on Mt Laguna in San Diego many years ago. Fortunately for me, it was eating a small baby dear and just growled at me…. I backed away slowly and once I was out of its line of sight I booked it
Never try to pet one while saying “nice$#%&!@*cat”…..
If attacks kill it, or cripple it.
44 mag times six. Speed loader at the ready.
Just carry a portable box. Cats of any size can’t resist a box. Just saying
Or just go hiking with one of these!
You talking about the cat or a woman above 40?
When I went camping in the wild I carry a 12 gauge with buck shot and slugs. A slug shell will ruin anything’s day
If this is important info, the creator of this artical is a$#%&!@*for having made it click bait… Geez

Kick the person next to you in the leg then run away
Did live in New Orleans, have to be fully armed to take out trash!!
Good solid moves.
I was on the edge of a clearing i really just think she was a juvenile probably first year on her own
Cats are curious.
More like pork.
Yea cause they are bad MF’s and hungry to boot!
Good ol Mouser has been doing just fine
And the number 1 most important thing is to never ever try to take away the freshly killed Deer that you were tracking!!!
I don’t have a frisbee for wolves…a laser pointer or ball of yarn for mountain lions (although I have a bottle of vodka for ‘Cougars’ ) not bear mace or a .44 mag for bears….No. I have a boombox loaded with a Justin beeber cd. That repels any and all predatory animals. It also kills me in the process though.
What? You don’t say here kitty kitty and scratch him under the chin?
Shoot it first
Just say here kitty kitty
I had a friend who would laugh at the .25 auto i carried into the new mexico desert. Until he asked what it was for. I told him all i had to do was shoot him in the knee and then i would ease on down the trail. Lol true story i was joking of course. But i wasnt gonna tell him that.
I feel ya Franknorris Egger i stayed at bourbon st. And made the mistake of walking across canal. I survived of course. God looks after fools i guess
Them cougars hang out at the wild wing cafe in spartanburg sc. You gotta be careful. Ive seen grown men go out with em and never be seen again.
Cats or bears dont scare me. People do, hell a animal is scared or hungry ok you are dead. . A person will lock you in the cellar for a sex toy then kill you. Lol
Damn you just won the internet with that comment.
Im gonna fight it And eat it. That’s why I always carry three forms of weapons when hiking or pep training. Ranged, medium range and close quarters. Ranged is my 10 mm, medium range is my axe and close quarters is my machete.
Years ago I had a friend that raised them. My kids use to play with them.
Mountain lions are why God gave us the .44 magnum…..
45 ACP works the best
I’ve had them sit and just watch me. I had 38 acres of woods on the mountain up over a lake. They always told me there was no mountain lions out here, even though cattle and horses were being killed, and verified by the vet as a big cat. But my scent is all over those woods from stone stacking, and theres a spring flows thru the middle. Deer will graze close to me, watching, even being 20 ft away. Well, so will mountain lions. First few times, it’s chilling, but after a while. I’d just stop what I was doing, go to my truck….never running. What would they do to someone who’s scent is not known? I don’t know. I sold that land off since, but own land just to the other side still. I’ve never seen one since, and now there’s 3 homes built or more on that 51 acres. I hear gun shots a lot down in there. It is against the law to shoot a mountain lion here.
Yeah my Glock 32 gen 4 is the only noise maker I need
I carry a gun – or two – but, i live way out in the Rockies and we do have mountain lions, wolves and bears. I also don’t carry a stupid bell.
Not have your gun

And whatever you do, don’t try to take a selfie to prove to your friends that you survived an attack! Oh, and two words: “carry concealed!”
Back away slowly and be prepared to unload (if necessary)
Two steps.
1. Aim
2. Fire
