She handled that very well. I have two daughters also but they are a lot younger 7 and 10. My oldest can hunt deer next year so I'm really looking at getting her a rifle for hunting. I'm sure your very proud of her. My oldest daughter is named Makenzie too don't know if it's spelled the same but sounds the same. My daughter wants to go deer hunting too. Cool good job on raising her.
What a articulate beautiful daughter. Well done Dad! Your teaching along with a great decision saved that young ladies life.

Very impressed with the young ladies handling of the situation, knowing what to try for the best outcome was very evident. Being well informed ahead of the encounter was huge, Great job Dad... that young lady gives hope for the younger generation.

Holy cow so impressed with the maturity, poise, coolness under crazy scary pressure and having the control of her emotions throughout the encounter is mind boggling.
Dad: Congratulations to raising such a poised young woman that you can see that will do well in life. +1 on educating and preparing her for what most would think is an impossible encounter but you made sure she was prepared and it showed. I can't even imaging the fear you must have felt when you were told by your daughter what just happened and bet you almost broke her ribs hugging her!
Every outfitter should show this to their clients and it should be on every State mountain Lion page on what to do and how to do it and survive.
The old adage : "Preparation leads to success" is well founded in this encounter for sure!

Fantastic young lady/outcome-thanks for sharing that. Good job dad! She did us all a favor taking that cat out too. 52 years hunting and only seen one cat-when they stand there in the open like that something's wrong-shoot it!

Along with everything else, I give her props for throwing her phone down to get in defensive position with the rifle rather than trying to get better footage. Footage to post on social media does little good if your dead because you didn't properly defend yourself. Seems like common sense but many kids lack that these days
What a phenomenally composed, articulate, and beautiful young woman! You should be so very proud dad.
