There's apparently more video where he's getting close to Cubs. Gotta be smarter than that.

Yeah, he came real close to being a contender for The Darwin Awards

Even there you can see he was near the Cubs. His own fault and he’s lucky he didn’t get attacked.

I would have shot it then rode my horse to Mexico to sell the meat, claws and pelt.

This reminded of a video I came across not too long ago where a bear and her cubs followed a guy on a trail.

Damn nature you’re scary!

Seriously, I’m never gonna go hiking in the woods ever again.

I was waiting the whole time for a second adult cougar to appear from the sides.
Clever girl!

I came in close contact with a moose in the woods. Fortunately she wanted nothing to do with me and jutted off into the deep woods but it’s a hell of a “catch your breath” moment

I once had a Cougar stalk me for a week.

Then she got bored.

At least I'm not the only one that expected this to end with a stalker getting arrested.

For a moose you turn and run away. Moose are territorial, they just want you away from them.

You know how to best avoid this kind of situation?

You stay the f*** away from where cougars live.

Go running on your stupid little jogging paths, yuppie. Leave the animals what little bit of their environment humans haven't destroyed yet.

[Heartbreaker]

I know the whole "everything in Australia will kill you" thing is a meme, but I also don't get it when Americans have things like goddamn cougars and bears hanging around.

Makes me glad that I all I have near where I live are foxes, squirrels and badgers.

Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers!

Man, cougars ain't nothing to f*** with.

I disagree. They are quite fun to f*** with. They know what they are doing and what they like.

Someone else debunked it as a stalking.

If you find the full vid, he actually encroached on the cougar and her cub(s).

That charge with the batting at the ground was her pushing at him to get him to clear, she keeps checking back towards her kids. If she was stalking him, he'd never have seen her.

Pulling his camera was stupid as that splits his focus, as was bending over to get the debris to throw. You NEVER shrink your profile when dealing with large cats, smaller than them is food. Larger is danger. And he tried having an awkward conversation, you yell and roar.


I've worked trail busting, and volunteered in areas that cougars are known to be in.
