Mountain lion kills mountain biker in Washington

[Sigarms]

try a .338 rifle sometime, longer range, cheaper ammo, and it will take a bear down no problem.. I saw the devastation it did to a big wild boar, and no way a bear could take that either..

I can think of more than a couple of different .338 cartridges, which one are you refering to? Can't be a .338 Lapua Magnum because that ammo aint cheaper even if you reload.

I'm old enough where I don't need anything else at this point in my life though. For longer ranges past 150, my .300 win mag has always served me well.

That said, in a forest where shooting ranges are short, that .45-70 lever is pretty much perfect for anything IMO.

The Mountain lion has been dead now for many hours.

Unfortunately that's what happens to most animals that kill humans.

A mountain lion was killed. Unclear at this point if it was THE mountain lion. I don't understand why we have the need for revenge upon animals who are just doing what is hard-wired in their brains. It's their forest, we are visitors in it.

We are 6 billion+ humans on this earth. Mountain lions number a few thousand and that number falls every year as habitat is logged, subdivided, burned and otherwise destroyed. We might want to rethink the road we are on.

I agree...

Have often thought that an air horn may work well for scaring bears.

Yep, I can testify that it has sent every bear running. Nice thing is it works long distance. No idea if it would work on cougars.

Shoot the animal, pay the piper later. . .your still alive.

Off the record, real life situation sometimes doesn't reflect a question on a internet forum

If the brear is wearing hearing protection, you're screwed...

Of course Amazon would not ship me one. They would however, sell me a refillable one they would ship. Guess that is better anyway...can fill it myself.
