[QUOTE="Westdreamer, post: 2022788, member: 116166"] My daughter and I were hunting in CO 2 weeks ago for second rifle season. While I was down in a canyon quartering my elk, she was up on top, deer hunting the last day of season. While moving through some thick timber between two areas of interest, she came up on a lion in a small opening (16 yards) that was not afraid of people or backing down. She did all the right things trying to scare it off, but it came at her, closing the distance to 8 yards and preparing to pounce when she finally was forced to defend herself. Amazingly, she caught most of the encounter on video and audio. The Game and Fish officials said that there has been more aggressive mountain lion encounters lately. Aggressive encounters are rare, but if anyone is hunting in lion or bear country, be aware of the precautions you can take and the right responses for the different animals and be sure to educate your kids about the topic. I'm sure glad I did. This encounter could have ended much worse. [MEDIA=youtube]kQW7lAY6FCk[/MEDIA] [B](For licensing or usage, contact [email]licensing@viralhog.com[/email])[/B] [/QUOTE]
