Bear spray, and seeing as cats usually attack from behind, something that I know couldn't be limp wristed or jam when pressed in fur as I am flailing on the ground with a mountain lion, probably a snub nose .357.

According to some here, they think their bigger and badder than the cat, lmao@that!
Once it happens, they'll know.
A person unarmed is easier to catch and kill than a rabbit.
In the 1990s one munched up a woman jogger on a trail near Hwy 49. According to rush, there was more money raised to relocate the cat than take care of the woman's orphaned kids...
Two words: Carl Akeley
1896, attacked by a cheetah and killed it with his bare hands. The cat had a hold of one hand and doing some serious damage to Mr. Akeley. Since he couldn't get his gun, Mr. Akeley shoved his hand further down the cat's mouth, into it's throat and choking it from the inside...
Pet MMA, Cat wins in 1st round with rear naked chokehold.
Any of these would work, of course, but remember to bring home lots of flowers when you buy that new gun.Option 1:
-357 or larger pistol
-rearview mirrors on your cap. (lions prefer to attack from behind)
-large ball of twine
Method:
If you see a lion following you, throw the ball of twine (optional). Then while it's distracted playing with the ball of twine(unlikely)...shoot it! Tell the Ranger you attempted to get away by distracting the cat but you were forced to shoot it.
OR.....
Option 2:
-22lr pistol
-a hiking buddy that you don't much like (maybe a hipster or PETA member?)
-rearview mirrors on your cap. (lions prefer to attack from behind)
Method...use the 22 pistol to shoot buddy in the legs, run like he1l.
OR.....
Option 3:
-big ol' monster caliber revolver
-hiking buddy you sorta like (should be shorter, fatter, slower than you)
-rearview mirrors on your cap. (lions prefer to attack from behind)
Method... if you see lion sneaking up behind, turn and shoot it. If it attacks from the front, turn and run, then turn again and shoot it while it's chewing on your shorter, fatter, slower hiking buddy.
OR.....
Option 4:
-Pick up your best bud after telling your wife you're going "hiking"
-go to a breakfast buffet
-go to a good gun store and look at big revolvers
-go to a friendly bar
Method:
While you're chewing on waffles and bacon between hiking several times around the buffet, devise a story of how you chased off a mountain lion by sticking it with your knife, pick up your buddy's meal and bar tab so he'll back up your story. Tell your wife that you really don't think you can talk about now...and don't forget to add "all I could think of at the time, (sigh) was if I would make it home to you".
You're not doing anything wrong...
....After all, there really was some "hiking" and "Lyin'" involved
I don't need an excuse to buy or carry a pistol. Btw, the most dangerous critter in the woods walks on two legs!Is this a joke or an excuse to buy a pistol? Get a big can of bear spray if you're really worried about being attacked by a cougar while hiking.
Do not hunt cats in boxer shorts.list of all dangerous animals incidents in washington state... not sure if they have something like this for Oregon or not..
