Quote HistoryQuoted: My neighbor had a mean German Shepherd. I threw a couple tennis balls at it when it was snapping at me and it ran away like a scalded dog. I think a rock in the cats face would have a similar effect. Not sure if this is sarcasm or not. I throw tennis balls at my dogs all the time. They bring them back and ask for more. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In today's cancel crazy political world, I would pick up my brass and continue on my way. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Nice job, Deputy. I was 25' from a diseased one that wouldn't frigging run away. In the suburban SF Bay Area. No way would I shoot the damned thing, unless it came right at me. I would get doxxed and crucified for it by enviro-nazis. Everything is on BWC, no way I could shoot it and not get fired for not reporting the shot. I wanted to flash bang it, but I'm 10 years and 40 pounds past SWAT. When we get pepperballs in, kitty will not be happy. |

The only similar situation I have heard of is from a hunting guide. He had a client wound a very large boar hog. When they tracked it, it was across a clearing. Came full charge. The client fired a " warning shot ", he missed on the first shot and connected on the second as it charged. The hog didn't care it was being shot at. Until it did.

Nah, he was shaking so bad his first shot missed, and he took a moment to calm down before firing again. "Hahaha, where'd you learn to shoot? Your first shot missed." "It was a warning shot." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In my younger days, out hiking, I've fired a round into the air at deer and coyote and they didn't run off. Most do of course, but I remember specifically one deer and one coyote (separate occasioons)that just stood there looking at me until I made a commotion with my body. WTF? You fired a round in the air (unsafe as hell) to scare off a deer? Was the deer gonna get you or something, dangerous predator that it was? |

A co-worker on the Space Station lost his son to a mountain lion attack in the early 90's. 10-12 years later you could see the pain in his face and eyes when he talked about it.

Well, California mountain lions run like hell at the sound of a shot. So I wonder if that is the whole truth, unless TX mountain lions are different.

Based on what I've read, in the 20th Century safari hey-day a lot of the PHs preferred shotguns for big cats. The rationale was they're very fast, but have thin hides, musculature and bones. Hard to hit, but not difficult to kill. Supposedly they'll break off pretty fast if wounded, as well.

Crazy fucking clown world folks. Been that way for at least 30 years. I taught Hunter Safety in CA in the 80s and this kind of thing was happening back then, too, because hunting the things was illegal. Used to hear about pets disappearing, people being stalked, sightings in backyards, etc., quite often. |

It's legal to hunt them in Nevada with a Mountain Lion tag endorsement on your hunting license. |

My buddy had to kill one on duty in a pretty urban area about 10 years back. Killed the ladies dog and it came at them when fish and game tried to tranquilize it. Never seen one or even heard of another one in the area I worked in CA

I've got bodycam video from a number of our officers; one used his cell phone to take video of one hiding under a bush, right next to the street. Residents report sightings all of the time, but unless it's during daytime or acting sick, we don't even notify the public. Agency south of us sets up perimeters and has guys wanting to whack one with a rifle. They are stupid. Any cop that shoots one will get doxxed and his life ruined by enviro-nazis. |

My wife grew up in that area. I had more than a few encounters up there when we were dating. One time I walked out the door to go home, but a younger cat was curled up on the hood of my truck. It just kinda stretched, yawned, and licked its lips as I yelled at it. I decided to stay a little longer...
We now live in a town south of Sacramento, not quite suburbia, but not quite rural either. I live on the edge of town and have acres of farm land across the street. During the major drought 3 or so years ago, we had a cat that was hanging out fairly regularly. It was never agressive, but it definitely wasn't afraid of people. All the Karens that frequented the walking trail were in a tizzy about it, wanting it gone, but not dead. I assume it eventually left of its own accord, but who knows. |
