Sometimes it's far from pleasant to have a run in with either a bear or mountain lion.
I see bears often in the Payette National forest a half hour from me and have seen only one
mountain lion that honestly I didn't want to see.
A couple instances I've had run in with bears. I lost a half of an elk to a stubborn bear
and didn't stick around to argue with it.
My ex father-in-law got stuck between a sow and a cub that also gave him a laundry problem, bears don't like bird shot.
Another situation I was in wasn't quite as dangerous but could have been.
When I used to archery hunt a hunting buddy and I were up on the mountain and we were sitting across the canyon from each other.
I build a blind a few weeks before so I had a really good set up on three game trails that intercepted each other.
One was a 5 yard game trail from my blind , one was at 20 yards and one was at 35 yards.
I caught movement from the corner of my eye and a mountain lion stopped in front of me on my 5 yard trail.
We both chit ourselves. It hissed at me and it was the scariest thing I've ever experienced, terrifying actually.
It didn't stick around and I damn sure didn't want to.
Rarely do you see mountain lions unless you hunt with hounds.
I am somewhat nervous in the woods every time I'm there.
