Ive heard there are alot of cougars and wolves in south east idaho what should i do if i run into them?

RE: one more question
 

It is my opinion that no one ever "runs into" animals. This is an old wives tale. In reality, the way you get into an animal is by that animal eating you, not you running into it. I've never seen an animal open it's mouth enough for my fat butt to run into it. But if I did- I don't think I would do that anyway.


Just kidding, the first thing I would do after seeing a cougar/wolf is change my underwear.

Man up and shoot to kill; If I didn't have a weapon about the only thing I would do is bend over and kiss my @$$ goodbye

raise yo hands high in the air, take quick deliberate HARD stomps torward the predator and scream "heyahhh" in a low grumbly but loud voice. If this doesn't work give the thing a roundhouse Chuck Norris style kick to the noggin. You might also try urinating on a rag and throwing it at the animal. Predators are notoriously skeered of human bywaste...could crap in yo hand and throw it at him like a monkey. Follow these guidelines and you will be fine, trust me.

Being a beer drinker mine is almost never throwable. Ever try throwing a handfull of apple sauce!!!:D

That might work if a pack of wolves attacked you at the same time Champlain, you could take out multiple hostiles with one shot...kind of like the spread gun in SuperContra.

WWWaaaaa you just made my day....CI:D

RE: one more question
 

Well let me add my 2 cent's worth.
I would say the best thing to do is to be quiet & still as possible but if they wind or see you then stand up wave your arm's & yell to scare them off If that doesn't work be ready to throw something or shoot it with everything you got.
If that doesn't work you might be in for a world of hurt.

Try to calm the animal down...Talk to it nicely and with humor...offer it some of your food and just smile all the time at it.....I haven't tried this yet, but I did stay at the holiday inn last night....:D

Odds are overwhelming that you won't "run into them" at all. You might hunt hard for 20 years and never see a cougar. Wolves are more visible but still a rare sighting. You'd do much better to worry about things like:

What should I do if I fall and break my leg?

How do I keep a tick from biting me?

How do I keep another hunter from shooting me?

Those are just three things, but I guarantee your odds of dying from any one of those three is roughly 1000 times greater than getting whacked by a cougar or wolf.
