OKAY, guys, i have one that just happened pretty recently. my family and I were camping on public land in the alabama hills near lone pine, ca. Big time mountain lion country. My uncle, who is an orange county sheriff, lent us some night vision goggles. we were walking around the desert of our campsite at night with these, when I start to get a bad feeling. so I told my brother that we should check in to camp, and he said okay. so when we went back, our pudelpointer, Scout, was looking in that direction, alert. Well, we had dinner, and went back to the spot that I had a "being watched" feeling, we saw Big cat tracks, right alongside our footprints. they were not there before. we stayed closer to camp for the rest of the night, and listened to our gut feelings ever since. sure scared us.
