Walked up through some thick timber above a noisey creek and looked down through the brush and saw what I thought was a deer laying down. Set down the backpack and got out the camera and looked back down the hill only to see a cougar stairing back at me.. 50yrds. w/ the 18-55mm lense and little time to focus up. But you get the idea.. CLOSE.

Yeah, 18-55mm = scary close!

Very cool. I still have never seen one in the wild.

Its cool because that picture almost looks like everything is in black and white except the cat.

cool picture, horrible forest management though, prime for a big fire. Awsome kitty though.

It's lucky I used my $2000 binoculars to find it. Nearly impossible to find it.........

I was about say he same thing. Cool picture for sure. A lot of hunters go their entire hunting career without seeing a cougar!

Wow it took me a while but I finally see it. I've seen four but it's been 20 years. Want to call one in real bad.

I have never seen one either, and hope I never do unless it's through bino's at 300 yrds or more.

I walked up on one laying down by a noisy creek. It was about the same scenario! I thought it was a deer till I glassed and saw the tail then I got real nervous when it's head shot straight up in a dead locked glare with me about thirty yards away

I had a simulair encounter while trout fishing above a canyon definetly leaves a bad feeling in you stomach knowing the only protection you have is a #4 hook.

WOW

I had one jump out of a tree 15 yards from me this year!
