Mountain Lion tracks right outside my cabin

Any ideas?

Secure any small animals you might have and enjoy the show.

Pee along the perimeter

Let a few rounds go

Works like a charm

Do both of those consistently. Did not stop the lion from coming right up to the cabin. Any other ideas?

stalk his ass!

Small animals? It's a fucking mountain lion! They kill and eat bull elk for FFS!

Make a video

Nonsense unless they're too sick to stand. Cougar hate having to work for their food.

I don’t mind lions and bears around. I am way out in the mountains of Colorado. I feel like they have as much right to be here, or more, than I do. That said, this was very close to my front door. I think it was just using the road I plowed to travel. The snow is soft and deep and any packed track sure makes travel much easier.

Where specifically were the tracks?

It could be stalking you, watching you from afar - that's what cats do. It could be on your roof waiting for you to come out. Cats like high places.

My ex boyfriend always told me to watch out for the cats in Montana. They'll hide in trees 30 -40 feet up and jump down on you. That's how we'd go for our daily hikes - looking up into the trees up ahead for cats.

You'll want to go out and follow the tracks to see where the cat's pounce spots are. Also go up on your roof to see if he's been up there.

When you go outside wear a backpack - they'll go for your neck. The back of your neck.

We always had 2 big dogs to pee around so animals would think it was a wolf pack and go elsewhere. It kept the bears away.

A cat attacked the neighbor's huge mule, cost him a fortune to get it stitched up.

Another neighbor had 1 dog and that wasn't enough to keep the bears and the cat away.

The cat didn't come by our house but it could be because it had food elsewhere.

I'd really watch the roof, especially if it can access a warm spot up there. That's where you'll find cats. Up high where they can survey the view.

Be careful, get a hand gun, travel in group. I lived in country side NW Alberta these beasts used to eat my dogs. It's an silent hunter ambush predator ,it's going to jump to your neck from trees above, especially be careful during winter, they need more food/energy. Any predators feeding on deer attack humans if hungry or threatened.

You should leave the door open so it can go inside to get warm and maybe have a snack or two.

They'll all use the plowed road.

First thing I did was check the roof. No sign of it up there. Always packing. This was right out by my truck. Just one set of track moving through. I plowed deep snow all the way to my cabin mid day yesterday. Snowed a little after. These tracks were fresh. It came right up my plowed road and then continued on into the big rocks and mountain behind my cabin.

I have bobcats the size of rottweilers coming right up to our house and look in the windows. They aren't scared of shit either and they will eat small animals but a mountain lion weighing a couple hundred pounds will kill big game idiot. Do some research before posting so you don't look so idiotic.

We have tons of deer, elk, turkeys, rabbits and other animals around. I can’t imagine this lion was going hungry.

They do not taste all that good. I would not get to excited.

Three freezers full of fresh elk here. I have eaten lion, wasn’t that great. I would only shoot a lion or bear to protect my family or my livestock.

I would get a long range motion sensor alarm and IR cam or trail cam, watch it, if sticks around shot/trap it, if nobody see you; perhaps is illegal but better be the hunter not pray.

kill it

Don’t want to kill it, unless I have to. Would rather just live out here with the animals. I like animals more than I like most people. At least with animals you know they are out to get you.

bullshit thread

Data-mining, much?

you sound like the victim of a mountain lion attack...

This is BULLSHIT, folks.
Plain, and simple.

But for what reason, Trin?

It's called Stealth Bragging.

views?

Don't go outside...
