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.

the only thing a 10mm glock is gonna do to a bear is piss it off until it’s ripping your head off. Not to mention bears are faster then we are. You’d be very lucky to get an accurate shot off if you even get a shot off at all.
44mag works every time! If they don’t run from the noise, they will die by the lead….
Back off slowly facing cougar. Make yourself larger and raise your voice while preparing a weapon to fire. Shoot the fucker till it drops. Then continue shooting the fucker until it stops moving. If it twitches, light it up again. At least that is how friends and I have dealt with cougars that decide to view us as meals.
There is nothing wrong with backing off slowly and attempting to appear bigger and louder. Just make sure your weapon is locked, loaded and ready to its$#%&!@*up if it decides you’d make for a good snack. When friends and I go into areas that have bear or lion we always carry 44 magnums, a shotgun firing slugs or a rifle chambered in 30.06 or higher. Or a combination of the above. We have been stalked by lion before. It’s creepy as hell. Yet the lion thought better of it after we fired a round or two in front of it. Another wasn’t that bright and caught a 12 gauge slug to the face. Luckily DNR did nothing more than write up the report and take the corpse away to be disposed of. The forensic evidence was there to back up our claim.
I’m gonna draw my 45 and make sure I’m not harmed and if that means killing the animal so be it it would be a last resort but a definite option!!
Fuckr right in the$#%&!@*
I’ve also heard that you should wear sunglasses on the back of your head so they think you are looking at them idk if it’s in the article or not ,they sneak up behind you so I guess ever precaution is a good thing
Shoot to kill
Brett , look up the ballistics of the 10mm, it is more then capable.
Sound advice!
Lonn Robertson
Don’t ever feed him Twinkies and try to pet him. They hate Twinkies!
Would attempting to seduce it with George Michael songs not be a good idea?
.44 Remington Magnum…..Nuff said?
I just LOVE the idea of having a bell to go ding, ding as one goes hiking. You DO know the difference between grizzly bear poop and black bear poop, don’t you? The grizzly bear poop has little bells in it!!!!!!!
Thing about mountain lions that most folks don’t know is that they can carry a two hundred pound deer high into a tree…in their mouth…they are far stronger than most give them credit for.
Brett Wilson- my hand loads are max and we only have Black Bears. I’ve owned the 629 and Ruger Alaskan, but their bulk and weight are prohibitive as I’m disabled.
Come on now! Slap it’s dusty Ol head then just tickle kitty’s stomach. Damn putty tat’s!!!
Cajun: Cook some rice
Snowflake: Lets go pet the nice kitty.
One almost never gets the chance to shoot . cats seek up from behind if they hunt you , you will never see them they will snap your neck from behind.
Make sure to always carry a can of tuna, and an opener. Maybe the bagged tuna. They’re just cats right. Lol
Came actor a steaming carcass of a freshly killed deer in the driveway not 50 feet from the house at my Ex’s dads place in Paradise valley Montana, throat was ripped out. I knew there was a big cat very near. I stopped and listened, I could hear is breath but could not see him on the moonless Montana night… F..in scary as hell! Think what you will about a gun helping you in that situation, that cat let me live that night because he just wanted that deer and I backed away. In the morning that 150 lb mule deer was gone..
Bigfoot chased me
I threw rocks and sticks at him to no avail
The snicker bar stopped him though
When your in the forest and you find the blood bath and see a deer hanging in a tree, be afraid be very afraid
Wow
I jogged up on one in Dallas TX as it walked along a trail on the trinity river! He looked me in the eyes then turned and very casually strolled away.
I shoot it…. thats what I do.
Never hesitate to put 13 rounds of 230 grain hydrashocks through its skull.
Pull out your mini Vulcan
Never run slower than the person who’s with you
Anyone know of a good recipe for cooking cat? Heard cougars were good eating.
i carry a spray bottle of skunk juice just spray then in the face and run stops them dead in their tracks….
works on bears too…
Steps needed:
Raise weapon
Aim weapon
Squeeze bang switch
Make gloves
Laser pointer works best!lol
Look up an carry a 357
Run, don’t run
just run a wet Noodle his Assss with a Darning Needle ,,,, He won’t come back…
If you come across 1 in the wild, he’s probably already got you on the menu!
How about posting this on one fucking page…instead of me having to click next. Nobody wants to buy the bullshit you’re trying to sell! For$#%&!@*sakes
Sorry. BOOM! Never hike unarmed.
Drag out my hog leg an let him have it
10mm is fine just handload some RN to MAX with the powder that provides the most velocity. Oh yeah and don’t miss.
I always carry a cucumber with me.

When you encounter a mountain lion in the wild, play dead. It will be good practice for when it kills you.
Only one step. Shoot
Always carry a 45ACP or larger weapon.
I hate click bait! Why not just post the article? I don’t want to click through 20 pages, just give me the information.
You’re supposed to get down on your hands and knees, stare it in the eye and say, ” oh, look at the pretty kitty”
I have the same pistol. I live in Alaska, if your 10mm won’t drop it, your either dealing with a Kodiak brownie or you’re on the slope dealing with a polar bear.
