horrible story, but it is a sign that their numbers ARE increasing. After all, they nearly went extinct what with man taking all their land. Glad to see he survived, but also glad to see the Mountain Lion survived. Not saying I'm rootin for the cat, but just that, its a MOUNTAIN LION! thats what they do! People just need to be a little more cautious, especially if theres any inclination of one in ther area. He SHOULD have stayed in his stand when he seen it, and called for someone (preferably 2 people) to come get him.

thats crazy, i kinda have to disagree with you though anthony, we have enough problems keepin the yotes off of our cattle, mountain lions would be killed on our property,i definately see where your comin from, but mountain lions would really screw up alot of lives for alot of people. we have around 7-800 head of cattle each year and more than half are for calving.we cant be monitoring the mevery second of every day especially at night (even though during the coldest of the cold nights we have to check them every hour or so or the calfs will freeze) i would like to see mountain lions and possibly hunt them, i just dont want them around here, also theres always the danger of an attack, that couldve ended alot worse
MHO^^^
also he definately shouldve waited to come out of the stand and called for help

I'm not saying dont protect yourself, or your land and animals for that matter. But the whole " i just dont want them around here " feeling, is what got them into a species threatening situation in the first place. I agree that they could really mess up peoples plans, but thats why we have Conservation efforts set into place, such as "HUNTING SEASONS" and Conservation officers. If something becomes a big enough problem for the community or landowners, they have the right to take care of that problem. Be it shooting the mountain lion, or finding alternative ways like professional pest control, but just saying THEY DONT BELONG, and killing them just because they crossed your land is not the answer.

Hhhhhmmmmmmmmm........ the more i think about it, the more the story doesnt make sence to me. a cougar holding you down is ALOT of force and there should have been claw marks on his back. and thouse itty bitty scrates on his face looks like he got attcked by mickey mouse, not a cougar...i 100% dont buy that he could grab and open mouthed cougar trying to bite him and if he made as big of a cut as he said there had to have been blood. period. this story was made up-exaggerated alot and Anothony i definately see what you mean and would have to say that you are right lol

You would think he would be hurt more if he was actually attacked by a mountain lion

Just saw a story confirming that the kid was lying. He fell out of the tree he was in and made up the story because he was afraid his parents wouldn't let him hunt alone again if they knew the truth. Apparently he thought being attacked by a mountain lion would sound better than falling out of a tree to his parents. lol www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/il-teen/
