Will you share what the chain of events were?
I have been running into a big cat track in one of my shed hunting spots for many years and although I felt he was watching me or by me sometimes, I had never seen him. A couple of years ago, it was very late in the day and I was making my way down the mountain. I stopped underneath a large pine tree to spot. I looked to my left about 20 yards away and seen some garbage from someone. I stood up and went over and picked it up. When I turned back around I was facing the big pine tree and a cougar jumped out of it. He stared at me for a second and calmly walked away.
About 15 years ago, my Dad and I were working out a open basin. He called me on the radio and told me he was going up to the top and and build a fire and eat lunch. I let him know I was 45 minutes to an hour behind him as I was way below him but that I would head his way. As I started climbing up, the snow was getting about a foot deep and when I got to the top, I cut my Dads tracks in the snow and began following them. Well about 50 yards later, there are 2 sets of cat tracks in his. I called him on the radio and told him to watch his backtrail and why. I followed them and at about 30 yards out, they had laid down in some small trees and watched my Dad for a while and he didn't even know they were there.
