I didn't have a gun on me at the time. I wasn't financially able to own one which is also why I rode my bike back and forth on trails at night. Never again have I been on that trail.

Pro-tip I picked up from dangerous game hunters in a video or an article a long while back- when faced with a dangerous animal that's that much shorter than you, counterintuitive though it may sound, crouch or kneel before you fire, get down on their level. That way it's like shooting at a stationary-ish target that's getting bigger. If you stay standing while they charge, you have to adjust your aim downward as they get closer

[@medicchester]

Good advice. Good man

[@R281]

Good tip as far as angle, but couldn't they just jump on you after you crouch?

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard, who ever said that to you wants you dead. I understand maybe if you’re far away with a rifle but not in a situation like this. The leverage it would give you over the consequences is so minuscule, If you miss then you can weave around at least while standing, you’re a sitting target when kneeling down. Also most small creatures will automatically feel more confident as you are no longer towering over them.

2:58 I think he has his phone out for legal reasons. He needed proof that there was an actual mountain lion preying on him.

I bet he is going to practice one hand now!

[@Cool-Lake]

Those one handed, push-toward-target shots during the discharge ain’t that accurate, wow!

All is well that ends well but you are right,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,he just missed twice.

The cammer was lucky the mountain lion was healthy and not lacking for food. Although rare, had the mountain lion been sick with Rabies the outcome would have been different. Glad no mountain lions were harmed in the making of this video. Thanks for sharing.
