I was stalked by a cougar years ago. I could have shot it, but didn't have a cougar tag, so I chased it off. I don't mind admitting I was plenty scared at the time.There are at least two cougars here on the mountain - a female and her cub. when was the last cougar attack in Orygun?
I am not particularly threatened by them - if they attack at all, it is either in self-defense when cornered, or when stalking a small child. At 6'6" and 260#, no thing would mistake me for a small child.
Just the same, I do carry a 329 PD in the woods. Sometimes you do surprise wild animals at a kill, and then there is the real threats: humans and feral dogs.
The 329PD is light enough you don't regret bringing it along, has a 4" barrel, and can handle most anything on the continent if you do your job.
Bigfoot hunting a cougar hunting a deer?
I have owned a lot of guns, was never happy with any of them. I am not a glock person but I ended up picking up a glock 20 (a close friend bought a 40 and convinced me) and I have to say it's my favorite gun I have ever owned. 16 rounds on tap of 357 magnum balistics is really hard to beat plus faster follow up shots, a 44 magnum may be a hotter round but when I can shoot more rounds on the target quicker than a couple rounds out of the revolver I say more is better. But that is just my opinion

I would always find faults with them or some silly reason to sell it and get something else
I do my share of hiking and was just wondering.
Considering that a mountain lion around these parts might weigh up to 120lbs, what would you suggest for an occasional day hike?
4 inch gp100 .357 with 180 grain xtp daily carry when walking my dog. Cougars and bears are common up here waay up the creek road...near by help, not so much
