Confucius say, Mountain lion running towards you is hard to hit with bullet. Maybe shotgun and a knife backup

Yep, rather have the scattergun and at that distance even that probably would be of little use unless you're really really quick.

Really don't want to try that out.
IN for anyone still ALIVE after an encounter.

Note: this advice is for a mountain lion. Not a cougar.


Although the recommended action is similar - open your coat and show your gun.

You have to use
1) your mouth, to bite back
2) your feet, to hold it down
3) always have a good machete….

It always baffles me that people still go into the wilderness without a firearm.

Couple of weeks ago the neighbor on the other side of the mountain called and said he got two pics of a mountain lion on his trail cam and then saw it walk behind his garage. My garden is 200 yards down from the house so when I’m picking or planting I‘m also packing.
