Mountain lions, also known as cougars, are one of the most feared predators in the United States, and while a lot of this fear stems from misunderstanding this creature, they are definitely dangerous enough to warrant a significant amount of respect.
Thankfully the chance of you running into a cougar while you're camping, hiking, or bugging out is rare since they are reclusive predators that usually are afraid of humans. It's slim to none that they will attack a human, but you never can be too careful.
While attacks are rare, they do happen, and these attacks could have been prevented by following some key rules that apply to most intimidating wild animals. There are a few things you should never do when encountering a predator in the wild, which is what you'll uncover on the next page.
To learn more about these life-saving rules and how to handle a situation should you ever encounter a mountain lion, visit the next page.

Strange, no mention of using the big caliber sidearm a hiker should be carrying. So what if you happen to be on a trail in a forested area within city limits. Would you rather pay a “discharging within city limits” fine or be looking down from Heaven at your family around you casket (provided you lived a life honoring God, worthy of a heavenly entrance). Big cats, wolves,bears, etc., don’t read city limit signs. They also only have consideration for thier stomachs and lives. I’d rather depend on something that makes a very loud bang than an impersonation of a 500 pound gorilla. Side note, if the attack happens with a few hundred yards of other two footed creatures, the loud bang might summon re- enforcements. Oh, and remember to include feral hogs to your list of dangerous snimals. Also, neither do feral hogs read signs. They are trapped inside cities snd residential areas daily. Don’t believe me, Google or search You Tube for wild hog sttacks. Smith and Wesson, Ruger, or Taurus just might need to be your next best friend.
Worst story, page after page to finally tell you what to do and not do when they could of done it all on one page and take out the usless crap stuff
Never ever run!
Never say, here kitty kitty
Pet it?
Irene Gootee dont feed it grilled cheese sandwishes
Get a good look at him bc they are gone in a flash. The only ones I’ve ever seen were running away from me.
the only cougars ive encountered ive either driven or dated.
Miss
Lol….
good advice
AWSOME!!!
Here’s what you do. Take a big ball of yarn,cats love yarn just throw it at kitty and while it’s playing calmly walk away. If that doesn’t work shoot it in the face. If that doesn’t work you should have stayed home.
NICE KITTIES! LEAVE THEM BE!
Laughs we have one living on the property. They are not that dangerous. Most fear man so stay away from the main house
Or pull out you 44mag, you know, the varmit gun, and shoot the SOB.
Best thing to do in cougar country is wear a pair of sunglasses sewn to the back of your hat. They think they are eyes and won’t attack from behind you since they think it’s the front. I raised and trained cougars and had a hat just for their pens. Even a playful cat from behind can hurt!
Unlike your thinking Wayne. I would not ever shoot unless my life was in danger. But I do keep a side arm when I’m out in case it happens.
Just saying NEVER enter the woods with out a gun .nice walking stick hickory is best
Most cat attacks are from the the back and they go for the neck
Shoot him.

I don’t go hiking out in the countryside unarmed. I had a couple of encounters with dangerous wild animals out in the woods as a boy, and decided a gun is a requirement. Lots of people do go out unarmed and I think they should at least take pepper spray and a good knife. The advice in this article might prevent an attack, and armed or not I don’t want to get attacked by a mountain lion. I would make noise, try to look bigger, maintain eye contact anyway, even if I had a gun pointed at the animal. I don’t like killing animals, other than hunting the overpopulated deer in the part of Texas where I live part-time. I probably wouldn’t shoot even a dangerous predator like a mountain lion if I didn’t have to.
I was always taught any loud noise will startle them and make them bolt.They sell a keychain that makes a horrible high pitched noise as well as a brief bright flash.Its cheap,compact-in case you cant get to that gun quick enough.Just a thought.
