I can scare off anything with my guitar.

I have numerous mountain lions on the ranch.

I have never seen one that doesn't run off if startled by a human. This is where nature and man have ample space to coexist ®.

Did she have a carry permit for the harmonica?

Bagpipes are a weapon of war. All hikers should be playing one for protection.

Bagpipes used to be classified as weapons of war

It may surprise people to learn that, until 1996, the British government considered the bagpipes to be a bona fide weapon of war.

In my personal experience, they have always run when I encounter them. But there was a guy in NM who was killed by a lion while sitting in a hot springs. About 10 years ago.

We aren't suppose to have ML's here but I have seen one up close by my house 3 times. Every bit of a 100# cat. All 3 times it took off running once it seen me, one of which it was chasing my dog to me.

Bagpipes? Let’s face it a really good bagpipe player still makes you want to jump off a cliff. No wonder they were weapons of war.

We have cougars here. Never seen one. However - I don't wander around the property at night either.
