I came across a video today that was titled something about mountain lion glock something warning shots. I'll link the video below to show just how lucky the guy is to be alive.
Mistakes I think he made.
1. letting the mountain lion get that close in the first place
2. Walking backwards. That would suck to trip over a stick and fall at that specific time in your life.
3. the obvious *I'm filming this for youtube
4. I'm going to state what I think happened. In my heart, I think the first shot was a miss. I think the guy saw the cat about to pounce and it scared him and he flinched and had a negligent discharge. Frankly, I don't think he was a good enough shot to shoot between it's legs at the split second that it's getting airborne.
*He's very fortunate that it did though and that the cat paused
5. Shot two, was a clear miss and indication that he should spend a lot more time shooting guns, than walking through idaho.
I also can't help but to think, video said he was elk hunting. Where was his rifle?
