OMG: Utah Hiker gets confronted by Cougar.. One Pissed of Cougar.

throw a fucking rock at it

Too bad he was in a liberal state. Here he could have pulled out a gun and shot it.

I was waiting all the way through to do that and he didn't til the very end when it ran off immediately.

Still, fucking scary shit but it did seem it just wanted to run him off?

That mama mountain lion was protecting her cubs.

Wild animals are losing territory. She was doing was mama's do, because humans kill so many mountain lions with cars, guns, poison. She seriously wants to keep mountain lions on the planet.

throwing a rock is fucking useless.. it may or may not work.


if the dumbfuck hiker had a gun, all he need to do was fire a warning shot and the mountain lion would run for the hills...


i bet the hiker was a libtard, which is why he didnt have a gun in the 1st place.

That cougar would be dead after I caught a whiff of it’s aggression. I’d Swiss cheese it then cut its head off to spike on top of a crudely fashioned walking stick I’d then make... kinda as a trophy, because I know for damn sure I’m not going to be filming it. I’d want proof.

There are 2 cubs clearly visible in the beginning of one of the versions of the video. The cougar also seems to be trying to scare the guy away instead of acting like it was stalking prey. It seems to me to be a mom defending her cubs.

Any how many times have you confronted a large predator type animal??

Loud noises can work, but pain induced confrontation usually will get you chewed up. Predator type animals don't have the same fight or flight instincts as regular animals do because being an Alpha predator means just that, Alpha. The only real competition Cougars have are Bears, and we look no where as scary as Bears.

So lesson for all you Tree Huggers, when you going into the woods take a fucking firearm with you, there's things out there that will eat your scrawny ass.

What would you do ?

What would you do ?

This ^^^

Cougars are very secretive, skittish, and afraid of people in general. Especially men, because they are bigger than women.

It's only when a cougar is very hungry or defensive or protective that they will be aggressive towards a person.

If you show obvious fear, it feeds the aggression. If you stand your ground and flail your arms and yell, they may not run away, but they will stop advancing to assess the situation.

Standing your ground causes doubt. And throwing good sized rocks will make them flee. Cougars are already afraid of people. And when you act as the aggressor, it sends them flying.

That being said, you don't want to do this if you are still CLOSE to their kittens, because the protective instinct is strong enough to override the urge to flee, if the threat to their kittens is imminent.

The only time you hear of a cougar attacking a walker or hiker (and it's almost always a woman) is when they are starving and the victim has their back to the animal. They prefer a sneak attack.

The behavior displayed by that cougar was "bluff charges". And not to be ignored. But acting afraid and back-peddling is what was encouraging those bluff charges. If you stop and grab a rock and throw it at the cat, it would flee. Or at least stop in it's tracks.

It is true that it is unsafe to stand your ground when dealing with an animal that is overwhelmingly large, like a Brown Bear. But when dealing with a Mountain Lion, acting afraid and fleeing encourages an attack. You are better off waving your arms and yelling and throwing rocks.

I don't believe you. every animal I have thrown a rock at runs or flys away immediately.

Yea, She does look back left and right halfway the clip so could be she was checking on the little ones.
But holy smokes.. what an experience.


Would a can of maze work in this case ?
