In 1976 I was bow hunting in SE South Dakota for deer. While sitting in my tree stand, a mountain lion came walking out of the corn. It heard something in my tree (me) and decided to get a closer look...maybe a squirrel? It came right to the base of my tree and I truthfully had no idea what I was going to do besides soil my pants as a defensive measure. It got a wiff of my flashlight laid at the base and took off 60 mph in the other direction. At the time, even though I was watching it for 5+ minutes approaching, it was difficult to comprehend what I was seeing since they were not known to be in that area at that time.
