early this morning my wife and I went for a short hunt up on a ridge where there was a logging camp in late 1800s.We werent there for more than 10 mins.when I saw it...a full grown mountain lion about 100 yards above us watching us.
My wife saw me draw my side arm and looked where I was looking and saw it too.She freaked and started sort of crying...it was walking towards us.
We dont use headphones...I am always carrying...but dam...I kinda freaked too.
I waved my garret and yelled at it while we started backing down the trail.The dam thing followed us but never got really any closer.This went on for 10 minutes untill we got to my truck.
When I started the truck it turned and just kinda walked back up the hill into the woods.
My wife swears she is never going into the forest hunting again.I cant bear that.
1)did we do the right thing?
2)what can we do to limit the danger(I have to tell her something)
3)is there a time of year that is more of a danger?
4)I didnt fire a warning shot from the 45 but was ready to
thanks Kugar...we both still a little shook all these hours later..ps...we in the big bear area...so cal.
