Yeah, great video.
I've lived in the sticks half my life, and I've never seen a cougar in the wild. I've seen tracks in the river bank on the cowlitz river as a kid. But that's it. Cougar human interaction takes some effort and luck. How that interaction goes (usually with a glimpse and a story) determines whether the luck is good or bad, I imagine.
When I go in the woods, deeply, I take a long walking staff. Owls can be assholes. I've never taken a firearm unless I was hunting. And I am a better mushroom hunter than elk hunter...

I saw a mountain lion, being a total dick, attacked some guy jogging in Colorado, who hit it with a rock and fucking strangled it to death with his bare hands. Some guys have all the luck.
