Don't think I want to catch this one

I checked one of my baits tonight and found these tracks all around my bait site. It was a little bit eerie being in the dark with no weapon and knowing one of these was lurking around not to long ago.

can't see the pad shape, but the toes look like a wolf track, right? i'd hate to see an "M" shaped pad anywhere near my tracks at night.

toes do look round but i thought it was the way the light is hitting, but you're right the spacing between them is looking more catlike the more i look at it.

If I ever start seeing that walking in the woods I'll never go anywhere without a gun. Those fuckers will hunt you down.

i seem to be a magnet for fucking lions. i've seen 4 so far, and found tracks in mine several times while turkey hunting. needless to say, i carry a pistol in the woods.

Yup...Fuck that. Dead on sight if I ever see one.

from what i've seen, i think you'd be damn lucky if you could draw before one was on you. only one ran away when it saw me, and i can tell you, they are TOO fast. if he really wants you, you might be SOL.

If one ever attacked me I would piss on it, it would be totally involuntary though.

To bring a couple threads together, I recall a story a couple years ago of an old couple hiking, and the man was attacked by a mountain lion. The wife either killed it or ran it off by stabbing it in the face- repeatedly- with a ball point pen.


Apparently, they aren't that tough. The mountain lions, I mean. The senior citizens are plenty tough.

Yes it is lion track. I know the pic isn't great but it was the best one I could get in the dark while looking over my shoulders. :) I'm gonna go to that bait site tomorrow night so it will make things more interesting since I'll be packing bait with me this time. I'm sure it was just a one hit wonder.
And what the hell kind of guy wants a little teeth anyway. I'm in pain just thinking about it. Lol
I might go ahead and carry my pistol with me this time. Although it is just a single action .22

Can you legally take one, too? That'd be badass.

Probably as long as you have a trappers license. Here if you have one, you can pretty much take anything just needs to be signs of proof it was in a trap.

If I caught one and it was dead then game and fish would take it I'm sure. If it was alive I would have game and fish remove it. There is no trapping of lion allowed in Wyoming.
