Mountain Lion Sighting - Hill Country State Natural Area - MTB Ride July 2024

[@George-Kliavkoff4Big12]

That actually happened to my party out there back in the late 90's. I was in the lead going downhill. We all saw the mountain lion, came to a complete stop, did an about face, and headed back up the hill. Only I was now at the back of the pack. By the time we reached the top of the hill, I was back at the lead of the pack. ha ha.

I've ridden out there a couple of time and never even thought about mountain lions 😮

@@Robert_512 Same here. This was the first one I’ve ever seen in the wild.

I didn't see a mountain lion 😮

@@BiKEnBiTES Yeah it’s not a good view here. I uploaded a second video slowed down and zoomed, much clearer. I realized I should have just done that in the first place 😆

[@BiKEnBiTES]

Im sure they see people without their knowledge 😮

@@BiKEnBiTES I’ve often suspected this.

Where the hell is the mountain lion?!!

@@takozamtbtrailscout7106 It’s in the beginning, but admittedly it’s a bad capture of it due to an editing oversight. The cat was visible on my monitor while editing my GoPro clips; I was able to go through it frame by frame. But the end result did not show it well here. So I uploaded a follow-up clip, a slow-mo of just the mountain lion darting from left to right across the trail.
