This is a heavily residential area where I grew up...

"If you encounter a cougar, police suggest making yourself look bigger."

I suggest a squared-up stance and a .40 or a .45

That's the difference between me and the cops.....

You can also throw rocks at the cougar. Never run away, turn away or bend down.

Hmmm if you can't bend down to get the rocks how are you going to throw rocks?

If you encounter a cougar, police suggest making yourself look bigger. Open your jacket or raise your arms. You can also throw rocks at the cougar.

Is that before or after I wet myself?

4 legs, 2 legs, both can be dangerous.

That's funny. I went on a short 2 hour walk with the stupid dogs here tonight after that big moon came up, and they managed to tree a young mountain lion. It only weighed about 40 lbs. I let it be, but walked out of the spot feeling eyes on my neck the whole way.

I also kept the most stupid dog next to me to use for bait in case I needed time to clear leather and aim.

Watch out for Cougars?

I thought I smelt that distinct combination of Virginia Slims, Vasingil and Summer’s Eve.

I grew up on a small farm in the middle extreme western part of Minnesota, almost into North Dakota, and we saw cougars on our farm way back then. One chased my sister and me into the house. We were terrified. My brother took a shot at it but missed. It ran into the woods and we heard it for a few days after that. They are really big cats. We saw one a couple of years ago while traveling in that area, too.
