I remember reading in The American Rifleman years ago of a big fat black bear trying to eat a fella.. he stabbed it while his dog rope-a-doped it part-time when he could with a 3" folder for about a half hour when he finally palm pushed the whole knife into its heart, killing it.I carried a S&W 329 when I was hunting/hiking loaded with Beartooths Keith style 250 gr boolit. The combo of the cast load and the right grips (S&W's "X frame sorbethane") made it "almost" pleasant to practice with.
There was a guy in BC yrs ago that was jumped by a cat. He was able to pull his pocket knife and cut its throat.

Most humans around my neighborhood are poor fighters compared to a housecat. Not bragging, don't fight, just sayin'....
Compared to the big cats, a human is a poor fighter.
Of these three, what would be your pick for such defense? Right-to-left: Desert Eagle XIX in .44 Magnum, S&W Model 29 in .44 Magnum, and Rossi 972 in .357 Magnum.

(The Rossi is the one I've been packing all over hill and dale in recent years. Though a "lesser" brand, I've found it an absolutely reliable tack-driver, and have put many hundreds of .38 Special and .357 Magnum rounds through said. The 44s are new as of this year and I could see the 29 filling in. Though the Rossi would still be easier to pack.)
These people that go for a walk in the woods with no protection.are idots.
Im sorry but COME ON PEOPLE.
USE YOUR HEADS .
I don't walk across the street with out my pistol
Well she can rest peacefully evermore with that engraved on her gravestone. so there's thatThis is the only time that ODFW knows of that a cougar has killed someone in Orygun..
Definitely concerning that we've now had 2 deadly cougar attacks in the NW just this year. I'd be truly curious to know, beyond speculation, what's really going on here.
Because of the change in hunting laws many years back, the cougar population has grown. Cougars are territorial and since there are more of them, they need to spread out to find new, unclaimed ground. That poses two problems. One they are forced closer to the human population and two, they have less sources for what is their natural food. Might as well chomp and a granola chomper!
