(NGC)-Mountain Lion sighting.

[Orange Guzzi]

Black bears and mountain lion are migrating into Southern Indiana.  My brother has pictures of a mountain lion from his trail camera in the yard. 

I walked up on a wolf sleeping behind a log while mushroom hunting.  I was fortunate the large log was between the two of use.  I heard it growl before seeing it.  The second growl really startled me and I gave a quick look around, then saw it 3 feet in front of me standing on the other side of the log.  I stumbled backward, looking for a weapon while hollering for my brother who was no where around.  It turned and went up the hill in the opposite direction.  As I walked back towards where we had parked, there was lots of feet prints in the mud around the lake nearby.  I told a couple of guys in the area about the encounter.  They said they have seen it running along the road the day before.

I would not want to run into a startled, sleeping WOLF either!!

These two have been a regular on my sister's game cam. The one to the right is blind in it's right eye.

From JJ:

Yes they are. I also posted this on an outdoor hunting and firearm related forum. Not all by any means but enough to be alarming saying that they should be killed at any opportunity. I would only kill a local one if my neighbors which all raise livestock had confirmed livestock kills from the lions. At time I hope they thin the deer a bit.

Mountain Lions are are mostly nocturnal...and are  "ambush predators"...as this YouTube video clip will show you. 

I personally would NOT want to tackle with a 180-200 pound mountain lion in the wild...

About 10 years ago near Cool, Ca. a woman runner was attacked and killed by a female mtn. lion who had kittens.  The woman was running on a trail where she wasn't supposed to be on private property.  The local sheriff dept. later killed the mtn. lion because of this.   If the woman hadn't been there it never would have happened.   The area had horse trails and deer were there too among other creatures.  My father had a house/lot on the development.
