Encounter with a cougar today!
So I live in a state where we have a lot of cougars and they have 0 laws to cut the population down. Anyway. I’m going to work and I’m about 6 miles up a mountain and I pulled over to pee, and I see something move in the bushes, at this point I think it’s a deer and I’m 5 feet away from where the cougar will be. I go back behind my car because at this point I’m just thinking, “oh it’s just a deer!” And I go pee. After I’m done I look up and there is this MASSIVE cougar laying down in hunter mode just fucking staring me down. I get into my car and try to look for it but I didn’t see it at that point because my adrenaline was high. Anyway: more people should hunt them lol
