I recently had a pretty cool encounter with a mountain lion. I just topped out atop a ridgeline when I saw four mulies running out of the corner of my right eye....a second later I spotted a mountain lion running from my left flank maybe 60 yards away.
I don't want to sound too presumptuous, but I think it was probably stalking the mulies and I totally spoiled its effort. I sure am glad it didn't get made at me....at least thats what I kept nervously saying to myself as I finished the hike with my eyes checking for anything behind me.
