Years ago I was attacked by a cougar. It was a well lit night and I was out with a buddy just after 10 at night . We were walking down a well traveled path to a favorite spot we had. After we arrived we sat for a beer and enjoy the view. About a half an hour into it was when It pounced hard on me ! We tossled around for a bit.My buddy was stunned and useless too help he just watched the attack . I think it was an hour or so untill I got that cougar off , mary I think her name was .I walked that path to that Pub every night never to have another Cougar attack quite like it.
