Charged by a cougar

Hadn’t seen this posted yet. I don’t quite understand the thought process of worrying about trying to film the encounter id be more worried about making an accurate shot but to each their own.

Watch an Elk Hunter Fire Multiple Shots at a Charging Mountain Lion in Idaho

The aggressive lion pursued a hunter in Idaho for more than a minute before he scared it off with multiple shots from his Glock 27.

Neff would’ve kicked it.

The video aspect...I just don't get it.

The video aspect...I just don't get it.

Cougar videos get a lot of views

Filming would be the last thing I’d be worried about but it does score some internet likes

So much dumb in one video

I agree. Back away make yourself big….. standing there saying this is a lion isn’t fixing much. I think the video was a female with cubs, same as the poor guy in Utah.

Like I said before I think cats really give me the creeps in the dark, if I can see one no big deal. They are killing machines though. I can relate with a grizzly, killing through brute force and anger, a cat just bites the jugular and watches you bleed. Cats are the dahmer of the predator world. Change my mind.

If he was a real hunter he would have killed it. A free pass to save some deer and he wasted it. I don’t understand why more guys don’t have a lion tag in their pocket just in case. 35$. Most waste more than that in 1 week at the gas station on snacks and drinks.

He needs more range time.

And he only shot twice my mag woulda been empty and I’d be reaching for a 2nd

I was just trying to process backing up in tall grass, holding a phone while taking a video and wielding a handgun...but also contemplating fame through "likes"?
Like I said...don't get it.

I can't believe this fuctard even owns a firearm. Can you imagine being in that situation and deciding that filming with your cell phone is a better option than self defense? F him, this dipshit is just as dumb as that Timothy Treadwell and his aftersnack girlfriend.

Agreed. He has a rifle. Shoot it. Report it. Move on.

Lots of llama drama with the phone and the Glock. He sure slapped the piss out of the trigger.

Sadly that’s what our world has come
To. I think the number of people that would reach for their camera instead of worrying about the situation is far higher than we realize.

If he could shoot he wouldn’t have needed two shots. Or two mags.

 

[Irrelevant]

He shoots a pistol about as good as me.

Which is why I don't have a pistol.

I agree but he also Gets an F in the effort department

 

[TheTone]

So guy has a rifle but in this situation where he feels threatened he pulls out his pistol I just don’t quite get why people pack a pistol for protection or a finishing shot when they are hunting with a rifle
