When a shed hunter comes face-to-face with a mountain lion, things go from bad to worse as he realizes there's more than one pair of eyes watching him.⁠ ⁠ “The two .40 caliber rounds kicked up a big rooster tail of mud that I hoped would scare the cats. It worked for the closer lion, which turned and ran. But the mountain lion that had been sitting in the bushes was no longer seated. He was bounding toward me, accelerating as he ate up the space between us. With eleven rounds remaining in the XD, I started shooting. I didn’t stop until the cat went down and rolled just 10 yards away from me. The lion got to its feet and fled. I quickly checked how many rounds I had left. There were six, maybe seven, still in the magazine.”⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #survival #survivalstory #mountainlion #mountainlions #shedhunting #shedhunt #hunting #outdoors #wildlife #nature #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Ryan Dole⁠ Story by Ryan Dole, as told to worth.parker
