Friend of mine and his son were bow-and-arrow deer hunting in southeast Nebraska recently and both saw a mountain lion. That's probably not such a rare instance because one was recently detected and captured in the middle of Omaha.
This morning my friend reported that his son went out yesterday afternoon to again attempt to bag a deer with his rifle. He walked along the edge of a disked field to reach his hunting stand. Because it was cold he decided to sit against the tree rather than climb to reach his stand.As he stood there to catch his breath he heard a crunching sound (it had snowed slightly the day before).
He turned and saw TWO mountain lions eyeballing him at very close range.
"I was never so scared in my life," he told his father. "They had to be stalking me as I walked down the edge of the field."
He immediately evacuated the area and returned to his vehicle by walking in the middle of the harvested field. All thoughts of deer hunting were forgotten.
I didn't hear whether he changed his shorts or not.
