Scared story for WVMountaineer
I live in northern OK. We are not supposed to have mountain lions but we have a few. This happened to a close friend that is very good with a gun and he was scared and I would have been too.
His second son had seen a mountain lion in the area twice in the last two years.
He was hunting in the evening a couple miles from town with his 13 yr old boy during primitive firearms season. He had set his son about 150 yds away and at dark he went back by to get him. They both were carrying TC 54's. They were walking parallel to a creek with lots of blackjacks headed back to the truck. A deer snorted and took off down the creek though they couldn't see it they could hear it going through the leaves. It went about 50 yds and they heard the awfullest growl and silence. Then they heard bones crunching. Him and his son looked and each other wild eyed and cocked their guns. After that they always walked out while it was still light and walked in after sun rise. Changes things when you are no longer the top of the food chain.
