>The attack unfolded Saturday afternoon while the brothers, ages 21 and 18, were out searching for shed deer antlers near the El Dorado National Forest, about 52 miles northeast of Sacramento, authorities said.
>The teenager who survived the attack called 911 at about 1:13 p.m. PT, reporting they had been attacked by a cougar and that he had become separated from his older sibling, according to a statement from the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.
>The brothers tried to scare off the mountain lion, but the lion immediately charged at Wyatt, biting down on his face and taking Wyatt to the ground. Taylen yelled and beat on the 90-pound cougar as his younger brother was able to wrestle the lion to the ground with him on top of the lion.
>At one point, the mountain lion released Wyatt and charged at Taylen and took him to the ground. Wyatt — with severe lacerations to his face — beat on and grabbed the big cat. After some time trying to get the mountain lion to release his older brother, Wyatt went to get help.
Do you have multiple loadouts for different situations? If not, do you think your one EDC is enough for the big cats?
On a casual hike, is your EDC loadout enough for the unexpected but looming, wild animal attack?
Bonus points if you're an autist that constantly carries a tourniquet
pepper spray
>he cant seduce a mountain lion
At what point do you jump on its back and choke it to death? Or rape it.
This would be my immediate reaction. Jump on the fricker who’s attacking my friend and choke that hairy c**t. Yell at my friend to jump on its hind quarters to keep it from wiggling out, and squeeze that fricker to death for a solid few minutes.
>bro I'd just give that mountain lion the people's elbow
It's a little hard to coordinate impromptu inter-species wrestling with your buddy when you're busy getting your throat bitten out and your eyes slashed.
>Males generally weigh 53 to 72 kg (117 to 159 lb). Females typically weigh between 34 and 48 kg (75 and 106 lb)
LMAO imagine getting killed by an animal barely half your size lol like just pick it up and punt it, wtf is it going to do?
>lust provoking image
>irrelevant time-wasting question
A knife should be enough to take on a mountain lion, I remember some time ago one guy killed a mountain lion that way
That was me
What knife did you use??
With how the attack is described they'd probably have killed it if one of them was able to draw a knife. It seems like people act like you get instantly killed if the animal reaches you.
Maybe not instantly killed, but being a goner, absolutely. Most predators go for the throat, and if I'm remembering my critters right, mountain lions will kick the shit out of your stomach and disembowl you like house cats try to do. It isn't instant unless the cat can get to your spine, but they can do enough damage in a few seconds to kill you, given where you're liable to run into one. A knife probably would have had the bros kill the cat, but one of them would have still died most likely.
There's a reason us monkeys hunted with spears and bows, look at how many kings and famous soldiers got killed or horribly disfigured boar hunting. The line
>After some time trying to get the mountain lion to release his older brother, Wyatt went to get help.
Makes it sound like he realized the cat had killed his brother and he needed to get gone to me. The question is, do they not have rocks in California? or were these noodle armed b***hes? Rocks are a massive force multiplier, unironically. I lost three teeth at summer camp when a ten year old (I was eight at the time.) hit me with a rock. A mostly grown, average man can cave your skull in with a rock.
By enough, I take it as can you get out unharmed
If you're in knife distance of a mountain lion, you are not walking out with just a scratch. Both of you are getting fricked up so a knife will be enough as long as you got a tourniquet and gauze to pack into your gaping wounds
>Taylen
His parents must hate him.
>Do you have multiple loadouts for different situations
Maybe if I was worried about grizz, but not for something like this. Some pissin' hot 38 Special can take out some panzee ass cougar, no problem.
>If not, do you think your one EDC is enough for the big cats?
Yes. There is a video of a guy on a snow-mobile out there killing an aggressive male moose with a Glock G43. A Glock 19 is more than enough to kill a cougar, just blast the fricker until it stops moving, you'll probably spend 10 rounds at the most.
Whether a handgun is enough for creatures of the non-paranormal evolutionary branches is such a non-issue that boomers have turned handgun-only hunting into a youtube genre.
this shit should be illegal. Some countries ban even .223 in hunting big game because the animal might survive a direct hit.
Hello, no-guns.
They should ban bad hunters too then. Anything bigger than a medium sized animal can take a direct hit from anything that isn't a 50 cal and live if your shot placement is shit.
>this shit should be illegal
>Thinking 223 must automatically be more powerful than all handgun rounds
Ahh, someone trying to ban something they have no idea about. Haven't seen that before. People have been hunting with handguns since the handgun was invented. I know seeing the word "boomer" and anything else attached might make you immediately irrationally hate it, but don't worry they didn't invent it. You can look at your local hunting laws and they should have handgun caliber provisions dating as far back as before WWII. They'll even have handgun provisions for during BP season. A Glock in 40S&W is going to have no issue putting any medium sized game down cleanly, and that's far from the most powerful caliber offering from Glock, and not even close to the most powerful offering available for a handgun in general.
People kill grizzly bears with 3" barrel 9mm handguns.

Pretty sure its a glock 23 unless theres a new glock moose video I didnt know about
Mountain Lions are only harmful to people if they believe that they were under harm or threat at the hands of those human beings. They are friendly enough if you leave them alone and honestly we've been too easy on stupid people interfering in recent times so aggression shouldn't be unexpected
>Apex predators aren't dangerous to people if they're nice
>Especially after all the harsh winter weather that NorCal has had these last two months that's made game hard to come by and left an Apex predator hungry
Spoken like a true citygay. You, nature is our friend UwU morons, need to realize that nature is out to kill you. It's a shame these two weren't prepared, but their only mistake was not being strapped.
Doesn't matter what they think about me, I shoot at every mountain lion in sight
Those two hikers tried all they could to get away from the cougar, including raising their arms and backing away slowly
Peace was never an option nogunz
>friendly
skittish*
>wild cat
>friendly enough
This might be the most moronic thing someone has said in earnest on this site in a long fricking time. Stop giving advice about anything you unfathomably stupid Black person.
That's no Black person, anon. That's a cat.

fear the Cougar-Spider Alliance
does anyone have the pov webm of that guy smoking the big cat with his glock because that's what i'd do
Cats have their home and you have yours.
Yes.
In public spaces full of people I conceal-carry a subcompact 9mm autoloader.
On private property and on gun ranges still close to civilization, but still far from untamed nature, I open carry a full-size 9mm autoloader.
In the woods, hiking or camping I carry a .357 magnum DA/SA revolver. Either open on a shoulder holster, or concealed in a backpack depending on frequency of crossing paths with other humans.
Never had to use them, and I'd like to keep it that way.
Prevention is the best defense you have. Talk to your park rangers, trail wardens, etc. to learn about animal activity in the area, limit night movement, and always keep your food sealed in airtight containers.
Who the frick calls them autoloaders
Eh, I could probably take on two or three barehanded
Pistol calibers are more than capable of stopping a mountain lion, however mountain lions are scary as frick and you'll probably be panicking and spraying in the case of an attack, so capacity is good.
cougars stalk the woods
cougar mommies looking for younger mates
Never relax when enjoying the outdoors.
fishing in da hood
Why do they always do that weird "yo like yo hey wassup" fricking gesticulating shit? It looks gay as hell.
room-temp IQ is probably why. They're walking NPCs, but not the friendly ones you encounter in the little villages
Googer
Damn imagine being that wigga Wyatt and you couldn't even kill a cat to save your brother
smdh that's why teens should be carrying 45 acp at all times
CCW around populated areas and open carry your big iron in the sticks. Hell, even bring a rifle or shotty with you out in the woods.
I only own subcompacts or full-sized pistols for the two situations, so you can catch me with my 1911 in the mountains.
Well, how about that?
Man can't fricking risk being in the wild. I am going to Romanian soon in grizzly bear territory and my Romanian gf is very lax about it. Wtf do I bring/buy? Can you have a rifle in Romanian?
Mybe don't just wander randomly around the woods
stay
in
your
zone
im going to give that kitty cat hugs and kisses
dont worry the kitty will be happy to give you hugs, kisses, and scrithces too.
