By lying there and dying? 😅 He was bait, not a hero.

I had my own cougar encounter 2 years ago while gold panning on a creek on Vancouver island. I was lucky enough that I saw them ( there was 2 together) before they saw me. One was an older one with the black markings on the face, the other was a young one with no black on the face. I was panning on the creek behind a big boulder that partially shielded me from their sight. they came out on a fallen tree that went out over the creek and were looking around up and down the creek. I just froze in place since by bear spray was over 20 meters away in my pack and did not think I could get to it before they could get to me. Luckily there was a branch on the fallen tree they were on that partially blocked their view of my position and I was down wind of them as well. My only thought was to stay still as I know cats react to movement more than anything else. I am also glad I did not have my dog with me that day or things could have turned out very badly. The older one did look my way eventually but could not get a clear view because of the tree branch but did a head-bob trying to get a clearer view of me. They did eventually move on but I stayed frozen in place for another 5 minutes just in case. ALWAYS carry bear spray!!!

And if it was the older Lion looking your way, it's likely he had encountered humans before and knows the smell already.

I hope this young man can move forward, this is an unfathomable tragedy, his brother loved him - that hasn't changed, he will be in your heart forever. Wyatt, be strong, your life is just beginning, you have much to give in the future. Stay positive ❤

I said "what the hell was that"! I followed it across the street to get a look, it was a Mountain Lion! Needless to say a slinked back across the street!!

A friend of mine and me were planting crops along a stream under the tree line cover in east San Diego county 14 years ago. A Cougar crept up on us as dusk hit. After it was dark, we could hear it using the sound-cover of wind blowing leaves to creep around; they're smart AF! After firing our shotgun at the direction of it several times, it still wouldn't leave and persisted us! We carefully hiked out of the treeline cover of the creek, and after we got to the clearing, it stopped following us. They're 100% fierce! I checked his tracks the next day and scouted him jumping down from a tree. Must've been an easy, 200+ lbs male. They're fearless, and no bullsh!t!!

Head to tail, that thing occupied the entire width of the one-lane road. I suppose it was living on the prolific range cattle that roam those hills. Anyhow I couldn't help thinking an unarmed man would have no chance in hell against such an animal. Then I thought about how we would go traipsing through the nearby hills of camp San Luis Obispo all night in pitch dark as ROTC cadets, learning dismounted patrolling, laying down quietly in the brush, and so forth.

This is so heartbreaking 💔

When I was younger we lived pretty close to the mountains. So it would be my playground I think back of how lucky I am to never have encountered a mountain lion while I was deep in the mountain

Rip to the brother that lost his life , and hope his little brother gets the help to recover from this traumatic event , God bless the family in this time of need

God bless these boys and the courage they had for one another R.I.P.

Horrible nightmare God's speed to Taylen's recovery.

Out of the 32 years I have been hunting I have been tracked by a mountain lion at least twice, and never saw it, only it's tracks over the top of my tracks.

As a kid and younger man I never walked or hiked with a handgun, but now I always carry. More for people with ill-intent than wild animals, but it can be helpful in either case.

MY GOD IM SO SORRY FOR UR LOST I HOPE THAT U CAN RECOVER FROM THIS... YOUR BIG BROTHER WAS PROTECTING YOU AN STILL IS.. YOU HAVE GAINED FEW BROTHERS IM UR BROTHER MY CONDOLENCES TO YOU AN YOUR FAMILY...

If they both had combat knives and knew how to use them that cougar would have been shanked to death in 30 seconds. Unfortunately most people don’t have the grit or skill to do that.

I was convinced about that 30 years ago by an article in Field and Stream, where a Canadian mother fought a cougar bare-handed for two hours, so her children could escape. When help came, she was still fighting. Once she knew her children were safe, she died. If she'd had even a Mora knife, I think she could have killed the cat in 2 hours of work. Unfortunately, California isn't much more friendly to knives than to pistols.

Why are you talking about open carry? Hunters can carry an unloaded handgun or long-gun while hunting. Hunters can transport an unloaded, openly carried firearm to/from their expedition even in prohibited areas. This is Kelsey, CA - A well known hunting area... No one questions people carrying there.

​@@brentfrank7012Yup, ridiculous, but I don't think I'd care, if walking in a place where this could happen. I always carried something, when I would do my nature walks, mostly because I live where the Bike Path R was prowling around. The chances of getting caught with something are incredibly slim, and I'd rather take that chance.

did the dogs really only take 45 seconds to track the cat. There is no escape when they release the hounds

Hey, news flash- mountain lions are roaming the streets of cities in California, are all over rural areas, not just “wilderness”. They have killed people in Orange county. Hardly a wilderness.

This is insane. No EDC? Not that it could have necessarily saved him, but maybe a chance. That poor family.
