If he was that close watching you what was going through it's mind? Would it have attacked you or figured out you were human and left??? How many hunters are in this situation and don't even know it.
Me exact thoughts too.

My grandson is afraid to try cougar hunting after reading post like this.

How many hunters are in this situation and don't even know it.Exactly. After talking with some cougar guys I know in Montana(wife’s cousins) they will tell you, “for every cat you’ve seen out hunting, there’s probably a handful you’ve never seen but they saw you”. I know I’ve been in “catty” areas in the Methow, bones, kills cached, the smell of a pi$$y litter box etc. and have had the feeling something was watching me. I’ve had that same feeling in areas where there is no cougar sign, the hair on the back of my neck is standing at attention. Not a good feeling. I would bet the farm there’s a heck of a lot more cats in this state than they’re telling us, A HE!! of a lot more!!!! 3000 statewide is a joke!

I usually sit against a tree and check behind me somewhat frequently. Prefer to predator hunt with a buddy though and we'll sit a couple trees apart at angles where we can see behind each other.
