Funny.....had a female and two spotted kittens cross in front of me, on my way to work, this morning. My sighting was in the Wenas, where was yours?
Closer to my yard or yours

Ran into a mt lion in the woods today.  It went its way and I went mine, but it got me thinking.
Does anyone pack extra deterrent for such encounters during archery or muzzy seasons?

Why did you not shoot it with the muzzle loader? :dunno: :dunno:

I carry a 40 on my side while archery hunting.
:yeah:

I carry my G29- 10mm, 10 or 15 round mags

Last year was the first time I saw a cougar while hunting.  Bow up, then thought about the pistol, no shot taken.....gone too fast.

if expecting big, dangerous stuff I bring the .44..  but when i'm not looking for trouble-just trying to be prepared for it if it finds me- The 14round .40 is hard to argue with- and a lot lighter on my belt at the end of a long day than the .357 or .44. In country where almost all the predators you are likely to run into are no bigger or heavier than a man- probably any gun that is 9mm or better in power (and what matters-penetration) that you HAVE WITH YOU- and can shoot well- will probably do the business..
