Have you ever been attacked by a cougar?

well then, may I recommend a S&W 329 in a NW Retentions Scout, good sir.

Nothing exerts dominance like a 305 gr. hard cast bullet.

It also stings the palm a little.

As i felt my balance wain with the effort of the kick, with barely grazed the cat, I immediately regretted my decision, but thankfully it was blinded by the spotlight and didn't capitalize the one moment of weakness.

Maybe it was laughing too hard at your puffy shoes and squealing sounds to continue a proper attack, I too find it hard to concentrate when I'm cracking up

Ruger super redhawk. Gives you 8 rounds of 357 mag in a wheel gun. If that don’t get it done then it’s the shooters fault.

Replace the owl with a cougar and this is what 6 shots with white sneakers on looks like

We were out on a morning run. I had exactly zero forms of defense except my shrill voice and marshmellowy Hoka shoes (which I kicked it with).

Just another reason to hate those ridiculous Hokas.

Damn that hurts! Hey Chris I’m not THAT much older than you… I digress, yes I am

But a retirement home?? Dude that’s like hunting over a feeder c’mon man give me a few props!!!!

generally when you think of cougars they gotta be like 15 to 20 years older than us so that’s why I use that reference I’m too old to hunt cougars too but not MILF’s

Grizzlies are what they are, but cats give me the creeps. They also have some kind of hypnosis like movement that mesmerize you. I’ve only had 1 “encounter” at about 75 yards. I found myself just staring at it, not worried or thinking about defending myself. Once it knew I was there it dropped low and disappeared, that’s when the hair on my neck stood up.

The only thing that could make this story better, is if some crazy dude jumped out of the brush and yelled at neffa3, the dog, and the cougar , "get the #*^@#* off my property"!

That’s it? No follow up on how she mauled you by jumping off a boardwalk balcony or anything like that.
Nobody drinks those without doing something extra wild.

A good friend of mine from high school and I were on a weekend backpacking trip probably 20 years or so ago, and he brought along his new lab that had just gotten back from training camp. Sitting around the fire one night the pup perked up, staring into the the dark and growling. My friend and I went to grab flashlights and start looking just in time to see one jump into the firelight, smack the pup across the face, bite it behind the neck, and drag it off.

I didn't sleep that night.

We found his pup up a tree about 300 yards from camp the next day. Long quiet pack out. I bought my first pistol the next day - even though in that instance it would have done no good what so ever.

You posted this once before and it sucked to read the first time. I didn't need to read it again. Boo on you! Boo!!

Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb

It's another tequila sunrise
This old world still looks the same
Another frame

Greenhorn selfies ... or it never happened!

Neighbors just forwarded a video from last week. Apparently it's a momma with two cubs.

Unless we have multiple cats hanging out in the neighborhood.

You call WDFW to report the encounter?

local non-emergency line, Rivercom. They said they'd notify them.
