Thank you Itchy, for explaining to me it was a joke!

Better off carrying a shotgun!

Right?! WTF, they’re all over that trail.

This is why I don’t hike/run in the mountains without at least a .380; he could have shot at the ground in front of it and scared it off 10 seconds into the encounter.

Not really afraid of anything up there except big cats; having house cats it’s a constant amazement to me how perfect they are as hunters. If that thing would have rushed him he’d be dead.

I've had cats my entire life and they can be amazing little killers. Astonishingly ruthless Ninja assassins :lol: As a kid I watched our half-Siamese stalk a bird in the yard for several minutes. Just as she got close, the bird took off. The cat sprinted towards the bird, jumped 3 feet in the air and swatted it to the ground, mid-flight, and bit it's neck to kill it. Amazing and brutal AF all at the same time. A "big cat"? Forget it. We're fortunate they don't actively hunt us...

I do high altitude hiking and I take police mace with me for this very reason. Cats will FUCK you up before you even know it.

Americans sure are wieners when it comes to “wildlife defence”

:lol:

Reminds me of a trip my wife and I took into a remote provincial park, (equivalent to a state park) There was one other campsite occupied in the whole place, by 2 guys from Virginia who felt they needed a shotgun to deter black bears.

They asked what we would do if a bear approached us. (We had a small tent, they had a 25-ish foot trailer) I said, if there’s a daylight and I see it, I’ll stand up, raise my hands and yell “get fucked, bear!” And if it’s nighttime, I’ll set off my car alarm. They looked bewildered :lol:
