    I had my own cougar encounter 2 years ago while gold panning on a creek on Vancouver island. I was lucky enough that I saw them ( there was 2 together) before they saw me.
    One was an older one with the black markings on the face, the other was a young one with no black on the face. I was panning on the creek behind a big boulder that partially shielded me from their sight. they came out on a fallen tree that went out over the creek and were looking around up and down the creek. I just froze in place since by bear spray was over 20 meters away in my pack and did not think I could get to it before they could get to me. Luckily there was a branch on the fallen tree they were on that partially blocked their view of my position and I was down wind of them as well. My only thought was to stay still as I know cats react to movement more than anything else. I am also glad I did not have my dog with me that day or things could have turned out very badly. The older one did look my way eventually but could not get a clear view because of the tree branch but did a head-bob trying to get a clearer view of me. They did eventually move on but I stayed frozen in place for another 5 minutes just in case. ALWAYS carry bear spray!!!

      They had already smelled you bro, their scent is 30x what ours is. They were just not interested. They don't need to see you to know you were there, that's why he looked over, to make sure the source of the smell wasn't a threat. And if it was the older Lion looking your way, it's likely he had encountered humans before and knows the smell already.

    A friend of mine and me were planting crops along a stream under the tree line cover in east San Diego county 14 years ago. A Cougar crept up on us as dusk hit. After it was dark, we could hear it using the sound-cover of wind blowing leaves to creep around; they're smart AF! After firing our shotgun at the direction of it several times, it still wouldn't leave and persisted us! We carefully hiked out of the treeline cover of the creek, and after we got to the clearing, it stopped following us. They're 100% fierce! I checked his tracks the next day and scouted him jumping down from a tree. Must've been an easy, 200+ lbs male. They're fearless, and no bullsh!t!!

      "They do not hunt humans "

      I saw one on Cuesta Ridge, CA, north east of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. This was in the 80s. I was driving, a bit after sun down and the ML was crossing the road in front of me, broadside. Head to tail, that thing occupied the entire width of the one-lane road. I suppose it was living on the prolific range cattle that roam those hills. Anyhow I couldn't help thinking an unarmed man would have no chance in hell against such an animal. Then I thought about how we would go traipsing through the nearby hills of camp San Luis Obispo all night in pitch dark as ROTC cadets, learning dismounted patrolling, laying down quietly in the brush, and so forth.

      I was convinced about that 30 years ago by an article in Field and Stream, where a Canadian mother fought a cougar bare-handed for two hours, so her children could escape. When help came, she was still fighting. Once she knew her children were safe, she died.
      If she'd had even a Mora knife, I think she could have killed the cat in 2 hours of work.

      Why are you talking about open carry?
      Hunters can carry an unloaded handgun or long-gun while hunting. Hunters can transport an unloaded, openly carried firearm to/from their expedition even in prohibited areas.
      This is Kelsey, CA - A well known hunting area... No one questions people carrying there.

    I raised a Mountain Lion from a 6-week. cub. Mine got to 100 lbs as he was well-fed. Powerful animals. Big cats have an amazing ability to sense fear. I imagine its because I lived with my cat actually in my home, I've lost the fear of them. I've been around a few known to attack, but have never had a problem. But I've had visitors over that upset my cat the moment they walked in the room. I have no idea what makes big cats stalk some humans but not others. Something is triggered in the cat and they go into "prey stalk" mode with much confidence. I'm no expert by any means. though. Condolences to this family. Very tragic. I still would never go into the wild without a weapon.

      I think that you are correct about giving off a scent of fear that upsets them. Dogs can sense the same too. Recently I watched a video of a news reporter out in the wilderness on a trail doing a story unrelated to mountain lions when one casually walked right by her. She saw it at the last minute but didn’t react to it so she had no sense of fear for it. It just kept going along. I do think the cameraman had a little anxiety about seeing it walk by her.

      Yeah I have 879 wooded acres most of the time I'm in a Polaris Ranger Northstar but never go out on the land without my Glock 20. Big cats and Bear are abundant out on my land and thankfully the Polaris will normally scare them off so I've never had to use it on wildlife. That said if you are walking and sneak up on a cat or a bear they will attack you 9 times out of 10...

    A mountain lion sees you long before you see it. A very sad tale of two brothers with outdoor experience, yet sadder still they had no effective means of defense against this mountain lion. I'm wondering if park regulations prohibited them from carrying less-than-lethal and/or lethal means of self defense, or if they just got complacent from their familiarity of the area. Airhorns, bear spray, walking sticks, sheathed hunting knives, and firearms are some of the items the brothers might have found useful to scare off this lion, but for some reason they became defenseless.

    • @Blazenwave
      @Blazenwave Месяц назад +2

      True, so I don't know if it was trying to eat them. They saw it, and it saw them, but perhaps they were far too aggressive trying to scare it off and it attacked. It was a young male cougar (and they were young men) so its possible that this was more of a "fight" than a hunt. Who knows. You wouldn't antagonize a big dog because instinctively you know it might bite you. But we are taught to be "large" and "scary" to predator animals, even if they aren't looking at us for a meal. That might have backfired for these young men.
