    I definitely took pause when they mentioned it was 4 or 5 months old.

    These damn outdoor hippies always complaining about the environment. Stay inside like a regular mucian, moran.

    The Cub must've been desperate to do that. Didn't have training or experience to go for the neck. Was the mother already dead?

    Rip lion family :(



    Oh yeah, cool story bro. :rolleyes:

    Thread title should have been:

    "Mountain Lion attacks Runner. You won't believe what happens next."

    Not to call you out, specifically, or anything, but...

    I doubt the general population would act with a clear head when a mountain lion is on you, much less clamped on your wrist.

    When my 22 pound cat clamps down on me, I smack him in the head until he quits. With that experience, I'm fairly confident I could handle another feline that's 13-18 pounds heavier.

    Are you really comparing a domestic house cat to a cougar?

    It's gotten worse. It now might be something like:

    "Mountain Lion attacks Runner. You won't BELIEVE what happens next! Watch Ryan Seacrest's reaction and hear his HEART BREAKING story!"

    Yep, assuming the sarcasm isn't apparent.

    It wasn't......... nothing against you but I have heard similar opinions in the past. I had someone with a straight face tell me they could take a wolf because it only weighs 120 lbs.

    Sat in a bow stand once while a cat circled around me sniffing and growling. It was too dark to see but rather unmistakable what was happening. Also, I was in zero danger. Waited for the light and headed in. Nature is wild AF
