This is a hobby I wish I had taken up. I can’t imagine the thrill of tracking a big cat. That sounds amazing. I camped and fished, took a rabbit or two during survival school, but never made the opportunity to go hunting. I wish I had done it.
You tuck yourself in under a fir tree at first light on a snowy foggy morning in the mountains and start making lost fawn noises. 20 minutes later you catch some movement out of your peripheral vision. Your brain throws a rod. Finally you realize that what youre looking at is an apex predator 5 steps away sneaking up on you. Nothing compares. I did a lot of drugs when i was young and dumb. But theres nothing like it. Its a rush like no other. Its not too late to start.
Yikes! That’s way too close. They have a skull crunching bite. Mountain Lion stories in my area are from bicyclists who didn’t know a mountain lion was there until they were dragged off their bikes. Lol! I shouldn’t laugh.
No such thing as too close, as long as it doesnt puncture flesh
