    I don't care if a bear was far more dangerous, since we're talking about fear, there is something absolutely satanic sounding about a mountain lions growls and screams. I don't care if it was a beetle making this noise, sounds a lot "scarier" than a bear growl to me

    I googled the place I was at, looking for pictures. One of the first things under images was this, taken right around the time I was there. (No idea what the rocks are about...maybe he was manlier than me and drug it out of the bush and beat it to death)

    I'm sure it's big, but just like a fishing picture he's kneeling behind it for a reason

    Went back and clicked on the pic to go to the site. It was about the state record, but no verification was ever found and everyone was suspicious. Probably fake. I have no idea I just figured he used the far back angle to make it look larger.

    Most likely did anyway....I do, most hunters as it a way to make your deer (or whatever look bigger) look bigger.

    The two rocks are most likely what he used to kill it.....(pssst... bullet hole)......

    Good reason to carry though,...... just in case.....you never know...stranger thing have happened.....

    Yeah I figured it was just large and he got a really good shot farther back than he appeared.

    I see the bullet hole lol just don't know what the rocks are held up for, is he trying to make people think that's what he used? A joke?

    Yeah it is. The part that I don't like about lions is the whole stalking thing. At least a bear attack is usually the result of startling it. Rather than it stalking you and pouncing on your back and chewing your neck off with no warning.

    Found a bit about it.


    East Oregonian shared Chris Frederick's photo.

    January 21 ·


    This photo has been making the rounds on Facebook, with a mixture of true and false information.

    The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife did snare this mountain lion in the Umatilla National Forest, along the upper drainage of Cable Creek. It was reported Dec. 1 by a miner working his camp, and killed within a project target area to improve the unit's elk-calf ratio, according to district wildlife biologist Mark Kirsch. The cougar had actually killed a cow elk and brought the remains within a few feet of where the miner was digging, Kirsch said.

    It is not, however, a "new state record." The animal weighed 144 pounds, Kirsch said, which is typical for male cougars. It may appear unusually large because the man pictured is crouched a ways back behind the animal — a trick of photography used by hunters.
    "It's a very typical male mountain lion. There's nothing special about the size," Kirsch said. "It's turned into a good fish tale."

    Photoshop. Look at the pine needles in front of the lion and the pine needles behind the man.

    I love the look of a Mt Lion... There was one at a local zoo in Penang previously...it was a private zoo and now closed...do not what happened to the cat..but it was quite docile and I used to frequent visiting it. It had huge paws and if I am near its environment, would love to keep one...I remember it wasn't that big, but healthy.
