When hiking in cougar country, BRING YOUR F@*KING GUN - (video)

Dude in Utah goes for a run on a jeep trail,...encounters mountain lion cubs,...and momma!! Momma don't like no joggers!

Audio is not safe for work or kids. A whole lot of "Oh sh*t, oh f@*k!"

Here kitty kitty

and one should take a shower after the tuna hunt. :twisted: :lol: , to keep temptation at bay

And THAT is why I open carry when hiking/camping.

Next time at the range, I will practice shooting with one hand, while taking video with the other.

Yeah eff that. I don’t play with big cats. Nope nope nope. When she started that pounce run thing...holy crap.

^^^ I will have to agree with that one.... It would be hard to fight the urge to turn and run but it would have been all over if that would have happened.

And that's why God made big-bore magnum revolvers and 10mm pistols.

According to a report in the news a couple of years ago, a .22 pistol was adequate for some folks in Arizona.

Ok so we talked about bears quite a bit over the years ...
what is an accepted adequate round for Cougar? Looked to be about 130lbs ... Im thinking no more than .357 and maybe even a hot .40 will get the job done.

Wait !!! Its all about shot placement !! :lol:

12ga. 00 Buck.

Shockwave on a sling would be best.

In all seriousness, a wild predator has a different physiology than a weak human. Plenty of angry and motivated humans have taken multiple rounds of major caliber and still beat the snot out of the shooter before dying. A Mountain Lion protecting her cubs will rip you open faster than you can blink. Do you really want to piss her off by shooting her with anything less than the maximum caliber you are capable of using effectively?

Now certainly it would be better to have even a wimpy little pocket pistol in .32acp than nothing at all, like the kid in the video. The first rule is "have a gun", after all.

For simply hiking in the woods for "what if",...this makes a strong argument for a super lightweight long gun, like perhaps a KelTec SU16 or one of the ultralightweight AR15s out there.

Dad used to have an H&R Topper single-shot 12ga with the barrel cut down to the legal minimum. It was so lightweight, it was actually painful to shoot, but it was easy to carry around in the field all day. He'd keep it in the truck, and whenever it was snake season and we had reason to get out and walk open territory, he'd take it along with a handful of shells in his pocket. Perhaps not an ideal solution,...but it would have been preferable to open hands with a cougar.

I am feeling a search for a 44 magnum coming on. ..... wait ... I just got a bit of a chubby so I think I am right .. I might need to replace the 44 I had years ago :dance:

and I have video evidence of why I need it!

I'm a fan of 45 super. If 13 rounds of that doesn't put it down or at least make it change its mind, then I guess it was just my time.

Ca'mon man, just a mama watching over her spawn, mother nature baby, mother nature.
