Yesterday, as I was walking through some softwoods, I heard some sticks crack, and saw a whit spot move through the trees. Thinking it was a deer I continued towards were it had been. As I approached were it was sitting hen it jumped, i heard another crunch, and about sixty yds in front of me were the "deer" went, a 4.5 -5 ft. MOUNTAIN LION trotted off in front of me, and circled left. Considering what i was armed with, and what the animal was, it wasnt moving fast enough for me, and so i knew that it knew that i was human, and not impressed by its presence, i hollered a deep " BAH.....HEY" and it picked up its pace a bit but still looked like it was circling. needless to say, while on the phone to my dad, i walked the first 25 yds of my trip out of the area backwards ;D

With that encounter, now its been a fisher cat x2, a bobcat and a small yote, and the BIG kitty. It's no wonder why the deer seem to have taken to hiding. Good thinking on the retreat!!!!! --P.S -- Now your mom is very determined she isnt going bk into th woods looking for deer. NO more walking for her.!!!!!

I dont know much about the big cats, other than that they are as unpredictable as they are fascinating. Definatley gonna be some 3'' 000 in my left pocket during rabbit season, considering we would both be after the same thing.( except it has huge teeth and claws and i got a .410)
