[QUOTE="R. Cram, post: 3073695, member: 116633"] I was on a horse hunting trip for elk in the middle of Idaho and we came back to the tent at noon on the first day to dry out so we had a fire going and I looked over my buddy's shoulder and said, look buck a bobcat, but it wasn't a bobcat it was a cougar with just the top half of his head showing laying about 200 ft away watching us, when he saw us turn around and look at him he charged us so I grabbed a small log I was burning in half and wacked him across the bridge of the nose then he ran back to the tree line and sat there and snarled at us. I have been outdoors my entire life working and playing and have said that if something was going to eat me I would hear it coming but I was absolutely wrong ,that cat made no noise at and was the most fluid thing I have ever seen run up to attack, very remarkable animals. when it was all over I looked over at the horses and mules who were on hobbles 100 yds away and they were still eating grass and had never seen the whole show which if you are familiar with horses they don't miss much. also when you had to pee at night and opened the tent flap to go out in the dark you decided you really could wait for the dawn to pee. the next day I sat at the base of a pine and took out my rabbit call and started blowing it thinking of trying to kill that cat and thought what am I doing that thing could come around behind me and I would never know it was there so I put the call away [/QUOTE]
