According to the Deseret News, a local official with Utah’s Division of Wildlife Resources, Scott Root, told Burgess: “You did awesome.” But, Root added, people should consider not running alone on trails.

And make sure you are faster than whoever you are running with.
... the whole thread couldn’t go by without that corny joke.
WOWE!!! Pure fear. If I were 30 years younger and hiking there I’d have taken my five shot S&W snubby. Given how fast a cougar like that is, there’s a good chance I’d have fired all five shots and missed with all of them. Then what???
Yea. Once upon a time I dated an older woman, only to later find out she was married...
...to a Marine Corps drill instructor!
Did he not get the memo? You’re supposed to play Metallica.
Mrs Gunner showed me the video about 20 minutes ago. That is one seriously pissed-off mama-kitty. That idiot’s guardian angel is probably slamming back boilermakers at the Tilted Halo Saloon right about now.
I came around the corner in the Michigan woods one summer day. The bear and I saw each other at the same time. We both screamed and ran away - in opposite directions, fortunately.
I got attacked by a Cougar once in the most unusual of places, a hot tub.
I didn't understand why he didn't throw a rock sooner but read some instructions on dealing with mountain lions and it said if you can throw a stick or a rock, do it but be very quick picking it up b/c crouching down could make you vulnerable to attack. She was clearly very pissed- the warning "attacks" sent a very clear message.
He also did the right thing by walking backwards and trying to make himself big. I kept thinking, "Where is the guys' car?!"
I saw this video and I think it’s a total complete set up
Mountain lions and cougars in big cats do not behave in this way unless their pets
I kept waiting for him to trip. Also, my first reaction would have been to grab one of those big rocks instead of my phone.
That’s how I talk to my dogs!

Awkward!
A bit.
What a Doofus. Glad he wasn’t hurt, though.
So far Bear Season has brought 2 bear swats for two of my dogs (no stitches needed, just a day or two of rest) and four other dogs (one was mine) tangled with a Porcupine!
Two they were able to have the quills pulled by the crew, (one of those was mine) and the other two had so many they needed a trip to the vet for sedation, pulling and a few stitches.
Nature WILL get you, one way or another!
I did. Turned out to be a nice enough guy.
They were in the throes of a divorce, and I think he looked at me as potential alimony prevention...
After that experience I ALWAYS verified that a woman was not married before asking them out!
That’s why you pack!
