so went do a little scouting to see what kind of access a area had, got a little ways in and just felt eerie...creepy eerie... :dunno: I keep looking around and then walk, then look around then walk. :dunno: I already knew what I was watching for and kept telling myself "keep an eye out but you wont see one, they are not as common as you think, chill and keep going". I get a little ways down and decide to walk back over my path as I learned this as a kid in the foothills of California hunting, sure nuff i got kitty prints over mine.
:yike:
F***************K! I'm just on a quick hike, no weapon at all except an ink pen (apparently i forgot my knife on my belt :bash:), which is now being held with a white knuckle death grip ready to puncture some lungs :o. I decide to turn around and head back and see if he on my prints at the other end where i made a u turn and doubled back, hoping to see what side of me hes on at least. yep. at that end too. WTF :yike: ok so I go back n forth 3x and i think i confused him because he finally just sauntered out into the dirt road and stared at me. WHOLY *censored*E never seen one up close, Im no good at guessing cat weight but he was tall, long, and not skinny, his paws were HUGE and he crouched down looking like he was going to pounce me wiggling his tail, kinda like my killer cat does to a sqeaky toy, OHHHHHHHHHHHHH SH*T I'M A SQUEAKY TOY :yike: :yike: :yike: :yike: and for some very absurd insane reason I raised my hands, my ink pen, and screamed ( i wont repeat what :chuckle:) and ran towards him and he bolted.
THEN I BOLTED THE OTHER WAY :yike: :yike: :yike: :yike: :yike: I have no idea why on earth I did that, am i insane? did i lose muy freakin mind? what the @#@! was i thinking? i mean im glad it worked but i hope i never do that again :o
anyways the EZRA BROOKS shots are kicking in, and im going to eat dinner, my wife is still laughing her butt off.... NOT FUNNY :spank_butt: :spank_butt: :spank_butt:

ROFL!
somone had a massive adrenline dump :tup:

-
and pack you a gun next time *censored* :chuckle:
I can say that, cause I been in your shoes :chuckle:
-
Where abouts?
-
:chuckle: They make the woods interesting don't they?
-
no funny, not considered living, not a cool sight, not interesting, none of that when your unarmed, they are a natural laxative is what they are :yike: with a gun o well lets rock and see who wins, unarmed no definitely not an amazing fun encounter :o when these 2 bourbon doubles kick in I should have a slower heart rate. am i fu**ing insane, why the hell did i run AT him? what mentally retarded spec of my brain made me do that :o :o :o :o
-
Get yourself a nice cougar pelt :tup: Don't get a full body :bdid: He would haunt you forever :chuckle:
-
I think you relized it was time to "MAN UP" 8) to the cat :yike:. It's go time mofo :IBCOOL:!! If it went the other way, we would get a story of... I killed a cat with a ink pen 8) :IBCOOL: 8) or another hiker gets malled by a cat :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
as a kid hanging out in the foothills (Coorsgold & Dinky Creek, for anyone that know where the hell that is :tup:) we were always told for most animals dont run, stand there and hold your arms up, I think that old memory triggered in a very insane way, and came back to me :o
-
You're lucky I don't have your phone number....I'd call and play a really loud cougar scream into the mouth piece.
-
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. :chuckle: :chuckle:
but that had to be flippin scary. if his tail was flickering, he could have been ready to pounce. glad you jumped first at him. i will keep that in mind if that ever happens to me.
-
I STAKE NO CLAIMS THIS ACT OF INSANITY WILL EVER WORK AGAIN but i guess it was worth a shot, i had what, a 50-50 chance of being eaten
-
I wish the whole thing were on youtube
-
ROFL!

What? No gun. You could have dirted a cat! A nice trophy for the wall and been the savior to a lot of deer.

OMG, I can't stop laughing.....

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; my ink pen, you comfort me, and when you dont theres always whiskey!
-
OMG, I can't stop laughing.....
you have yet to laugh, too bad you didnt hear what I was screaming at the Cougar :chuckle: :chuckle:

-
dude that pen is one bad muther, it scared a Cougar 8)
-
You went into the woods without a gun? Are you nuts? What if you had stumbled into a pot grow or something? I never go out in the boonies without a gun--and it's not the 4-legged critters I worry about. I've met a lot of wierd people out in the woods in my time, and knowing I was armed was very comforting!
-
i dont know if id even say in the woods, more like on a dirt road that runs through partially into the woods.

A dirt road--that's even worse! Much banjo music is heard on dirt roads....

The cat just wanted to play!
Cougar meows, purrs, says hi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoikkboJ_Fw#)

-
Funny that cougar acted like a damn house cat looking for attention I am guessing it is severly domesticated.
-
Hope you locked your car doors...

I am with you BH45. Kc_Kracker has stories and good humor to go with them. Cannot say the same for some others that have gone down this same road. Kc I would welcome coming across you out and about anytime.... keep it up.
-
WHOLY *censored*E never seen one up close, Im no good at guessing cat weight but he was tall, long, and not skinny, his paws were HUGE
I'd imagine that thing looked to be about 10 feet tall, breathing fire, with lasers coming out of his eyes at that point!
Great story, I'm glad you made it out on the good side, the alternative could have been a far different story.
-
Where was this? You mentioned the N. Fork so I'm thinking Teanaway?????? My brother was up there tonight and ran into a cougar as he was walking back to a the car on a dirt road. He said that the thing was crouched down and only about 20 yards away. As he raised his gun and moved forward it turned and ran. I have several pics of some cats from my game trail cams in the area too.
-
Kind of a funny story, but bet at the time you were like f--k I aint making it home damn!!!
Glad you made it ha ha bet you will pack from now on. :P
-
well after old-dog got a good chuckle from the story he said he used to teach this in a class, and they tell everyone hop on a stump, get big, and yell. i guess the pen IS mightier than the sword!

I HAVE THE POWER!!!

Me too! I just see Clint holding a pen. "You want this the easy way or the hard way"
-
This is the exact reason I have a Columbia River hissatsu knife (AKA *censored* mother effing tactical knife) mounted on my backpack strap. My Buddies make fun of me, but it won't run out of bullets. Plus a little jiu-jitsu background doesn't hurt :chuckle:
-
A 250lb bear,a 400+ lb bear and a cougar ready to pounce on you.
You haven't hunted in decades and yet, you see all this in 5 days! :chuckle:
Thats impressive! :tup:
-
Rick, I dont have time for little kids like you making insinuations, if you got something to say be a man and speak up instead of making pathetic insinuations :liar: Yes, we are in the great Northwest, I hunt in the forest, not in Redmond Parks, there are animals there, real animals, yes animals other then bambi prancing around, animals that dont run away, animals with real teeth, so feel free to join me on a weapon free hike, or keep pussin up talkin *censored* behind your keyboard :tup:
