Holy crap! This guy was very lucky with this mountain lion!

[Sn95Snake]

Saw this yesterday. It is very close to where I live. I wouldn't go anywhere in the woods without my handgun.

Victim killed in mountain lion attack near North Bend ID'd

Where I work. Happened a few years ago. Don't go out in the woods unless you have some protection.

I've had run ins with Cougars while coon hunting at night. Our 6 dogs treed one apparently (they were a ways out and we heard it "roar").

We got 1 dog back. And it's face was completely screwed including it's nose torn off.

I ALWAYS carry a gun when going out in the woods.

Wow, first thought was "this dude has completely lost his mind" then I remembered oh THOOOOOSE Aliens. Thought you were tracking lil green men.

lmfao... yeah he’s talking about tonks, not extra terrestrials...

holy shit, what kinda dogs?

5 Blue Ticks and a Black and Tan. One Blue Tick made it back. It couldn't smell because of the nose thing, so it became a normal house pet. That was just over 20 years ago and I've never been coon hunting since. lol

cant say I blame ya there

I don’t think you are familiar with the particular dogs I posted... That dog would put up more of a fight than the cat is willing to risk...

I'm willing to put cash on this if you can arrange a meeting.

What exactly is it that you wanna put cash on?

But but but...these dogs are great fighting dogs!1!1. Just one would be overkill for a dumb mountain lion.

 

[Fat Boss]

Damn that snake has been eating good! What a fatty!

I'm pretty sure it was pregnant. It was definitely a female. It met it's maker soon after this pic was taken. The snake and my buddy's dog were literally about 18 inches away from each other, with an open door to the house separating them...

Wow thats nutz! Just a bobcat!!! Thats a big ass bobcat wtf! Rattle snakes? OH HELL NO!!!!! Aint no rattle snakes here in Antartica unless they come with fur coats

Bobcats get to be 45 lbs. I'm pretty sure this one was 46! Funny, didn't see many squirrels last year.

I think he’s creating a hypothetical situation where a couple of those super dogs fight a mountain lion.

I’d also take the cat.

I was hiking in San Jose a few years ago when we met a lion on a trail. These two chuckleheads thought it would be fun to chase the lion. Luckily they came back quickly, before the lion decided it was tired of running.

Anyone ever watch Mountain Men? One of the guys uses some pretty small dogs to chase lions off ranchers properties. Guy chases them up a tree, then stands there and bangs the tree with a stick until the cat jumps down and runs off. #bigballs

Definitely wouldn’t be caught out without firepower. At minimum, one of these would do...

I went dog sledding in extreme northern MN and the the guide had a wolf get into his kennel and waste all of his dogs. They will bite them in the stomach and rip their guts out for the fun of it. So 1 wolf vs. 25 huskies is a fair fight. Mountain lions are known to prey on wolves FYI. My money would be on the cat.

Joke is on you, Bob... I bet you also think that what I posted is a pair of “pitbulls”. Lol.

I bet you don’t even understand what it is that I initially inferred.

Stick to middle school chat rooms, Bob.

Not sure why he is trying to “put money on it”. No bets or statements of fact were ever made on my end. Lol.

I mean, if I had to bet on “top specimens” out of both (Dogo and Puma) on a 1 on 1 fight to the death in a cage, I’d also take the Puma. No argument there. Lol

In the Animal Kingdom size wins. The paw on that cougar is the size of the dogs head.

I'm no expert but I don't think theres a dog breed on the planet that can handle a full grown mountain lion 1 on 1.

2 on 1 is a different story.

well, good thing I’m not talking about a husky... lol

I’m also not talking about a 1 on 1 cage fight to death.

I’m talking about feeling pretty decent about going for a stroll down a trail with Dogo Argentino. I feel confident enough that this particular dog would make most Pumas second guess a full on attack. It be a big enough deterrent. A Puma would not want to risk serious injury just for a quick meal. They would likely pass onto an easier catch.

Dogos Argentinos have actually been able to fend off and kill mountain lions.

These aren’t your neighborhood pitbulls, German Shepard’s, rotties, or Huskies, bro.

Dogo Argentino is in a whole other league, skill and tenacity wise. It’s a NASTY dog. It also has a much stronger bite than that of a mountain lion.

In the Animal Kingdom size wins. The paw on that cougar is the size of the dogs head.

You are so wrong. That’s not always the case.

I'm no expert but I don't think theres a dog breed on the planet that can handle a full grown mountain lion 1 on 1.

2 on 1 is a different story.

On a cage fight to the death, I’d side with your statement. But if we are talking about out on the wild, where the cat gets to choose whether he goes full retard or passes for a better meal, I’d say that the Dogo Argentino and Kangal would be enough of a fight for the puma to make it decide to fight to the death.

A puma does not want to fight to the death or risk serious injury. They want an easy to moderate score... So that they can live and move on to the next.
