    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!"

    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
