Man Escapes Cougar: 'Dude, I Don't Feel Like Dying Today'

[rstrahan]

I had some property up north of DFW in an area that was mostly trees and hills. There was a pond on my property that was one of the few water holes for wildlife. I had parked on a road that runs by the property to check out an adjoining property and was standing by the car. As I turned around, a mountain lion was no more than 50’ from me, walking calmly into the brush across the road. He didn’t growl or anything, just went on about his business...and so did I.
