[QUOTE="R. Cram, post: 2946346, member: 116633"] I have spent my life in the outdoors wether working or hunting and always thought I would hear something before it ate me but I was wrong. We were hunting elk in Idaho near Lo-Lo pass packed in with horses and came back to camp around noon the first day and was drying off by a fire and I looked over my buddies shoulder saw what I thought was a bobcat because the grass on this nob was only 4 inches tall and I saw withers and ears and eyeballs so I showed my buddy this cat and when he saw that we saw him he came loping over to eat us. I was burning a small log in half on the fire so I grabbed it and wacked him across the top of his nose then he ran back to the edge of the clearing and sat there snarling at us. my buddy says we should shoot him and I snapped out of being amazed and said your right and went for the tent where our rifles were and untangled my rifle and got him in the scope but about midship and should have shot but you don't shoot critters in the guts so I paused and he was gone. That cougar never made any noise at all when he came to get us and was very fluid in his movements, amazing to watch. I looked over 75 yds or so where the horses and mules were on hobbles eating and all of them were just grazing away, they never even saw what happened. that night when you had to pee and opened the tent flap and looked out in the dark you decided it could wait till morning. the next day I sat by a stump with my call and thought I would try to get him and after blowing it for a minute and remembering how totally quiet he was I put the call away.
