Scary encounter with Mountain Lion cubs and mom

I found what I thought were bobcats on the trail during a run. Turns out they were cougar cubs and their mother was not happy to see me. She follows me for over six minutes acting very aggressive while I walk backwards up the trail. Very scary cougar encounter. -yt

He just needs to carry a good rock and be way more dominant. Too bad there weren't any rocks around.

Spear would have looked at that and thought "that's lunch", this guy seemed to immediately think " I'm lunch". What a giant pussy.

Bet he never runs without a handgun again.

I totally get the adrenaline preventing rational thought at first, but that was a solid 6 minutes of walking by some excellent "get the fuck away" rocks. I felt pretty vindicated when throwing one damn rock got it to flee. Our advantage is thumbs, buddy: use them.

I took a 2,500 mile mountain bike trip back in 2011. I was aware of the problem of loose dogs chasing bikes. With two saddlebags strapped to my bike with my belongings I knew I would not be able to outrun a Chihuahua let alone a pitbull, German shepherd or a bear.

I carried an air horn from Walmart that I attached to the bike with Velcro for a quick grab. I had no less than 7 dogs surprise me during my trip. The air horn was very effective in showing them who's boss. Their ears fold back and their tail tucked between their legs while running in the opposite direction.

Even if a dog managed to grab me, I doubt it would be able to withstand the hurt it would inflict blasting in its ear at close range.

Edit: I'm assuming no one thought I would shove the air horn in the dogs butt.

Maybe not even a gun but a loud horn would be enough
