Last year while mule deer hunting, I was walking up a narrow drainage . I bumped a deer. I froze for a few minutes. Then continued up the trail. I heard some movement ahead and to the left. I kncked an arrow. Waited. Then heard the sound to my right. Still waiting. Then heard a rock roll over just a few yards away. Now I was starting to get a little nervous. Still waiting. And waiting no sounds. So I went to where i heard the last sounds and found mountain lion tracks. Now I am really nervous. I pick up a stick and beat the bushes till I was out of breath. I turned around and went back to camp.

A friend of mine had a closer encounter about 10 years ago again he had bumped a deer and saw the mountain lion crouched down about 10 yards from him. Luckly the cat moved off. He would not go back to that area the rest of the season.

Have I ever been attacked................. luckly NO
