That picture is an interpretation of my daily struggles with life.

One time I tackled a gazelle to the ground, held it there for some time; and then let it go.


It's all about letting go.

The idea of walking with a gun in Idaho because of cat and bear risk is patently ridiculous, by the way.



Googlemap Yellow Pine.  It aint Boise.

I'm in southern Ontario. I've had bears, mountain lions, coyotes, wolves, fishers, and all sorts of creatures right on my porch. I've been very close, not intentionally, to all of these creatures and I can say they really just want to be left alone. The fishers are the worst though. They're fucking vicious, and get pretty big. I'd rather tangle with a bear, honestly.

Once I woke up to the sound of my dog barking. And barking. And barking. She wouldn't shut the fuck up and she was right out side my door, literally. I guess my dad gets up after a while to check and he hears a crash. He quickly turns on the outside light to see a black bear taking off. I guess he wanted my dog's food that was left in the cold room. The fucker broke a big chunk of glass out of the door, and cut himself doing it. You will never look at a bear the same after he tries to break in to your house.

Indeed...unless you're a dwarf who runs around dawn/dusk, it's a non-issue.  We have black bears seasonally where I live, cougars year-round.  I've never seen a cougar, despite frequently walking alone in the dark in desolate areas, often carrying food (I walk to work and live in a rural area).

I've seen bears a few times.  They like to eat my garbage.  They ignore me unless I throw things at them and shout.  If I do that enough, they slowly meander away.

No big deal if you're a normal-sized adult human.

Hey OP it's probably already been said a bunch in this thread (Idk I just skimmed) but mountain lion/cougar attacks are exceedingly rare. Like super rare. I believe just about damn near every documented case, the aggressive cougar was found to be in poor health, so just hope that cougar is healthy and eating well. Then you should be good. But I think your odds of getting stalked and attacked by a cougar are about the same as getting struck by lightening.

No Florida panther has ever attacked a human.
