That kind of mindset I’ll never understand but it’s becoming more common unfortunately. The back up and back down beta-think is not something that I can understand nor is the ability to prioritize recording the event over accurate rounds on target because his shooting was horrendous. If that was me that cat would’ve been dead before I remembered (under stress) to hit record.
Whether he meant to or not, and I think he didn't, but that second shot he jerked off dang near gutshot the cat anyway. Looked like shot #2 went right over the cat about 3/4's back toward the hip. If you're gonna pack a gun, know when to use it, how to use it and have the determination to use it when it is necessary.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
There is a trail up pikes peak. Some of the trail has another trail 10 or 12 feet above it. I have walked upper trail a few times and have seen lion tracks on it. They could just jump down on something from the upper trail on the lower trail. More lions around than most people know.
This is pure gold on the neighborhood app. Lots of comments about how the poor puty tat just had fur babies in the area and it meant no harm so dont be shooting at it. LOL. I would have fired long before that dude. I'm sure this is in California or somewhere where they would lock you up unless you had scratches on you.
Betting it was CA.
Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
This looks a lot like that Utah guy’s encounter with a female lion with cubs.
I’ve had a skinny little stray cat scramble back under a fence and hissing and spitting face me down over a kitten hiding under a dumpster.
So this latest thing may not have been a predatory encounter.
Not that that makes any difference.

A lot of lion experts that have never seen a lion.
Have you? I'm not an "expert", we just have them on the ranch. I've been closer to cats than many, here. Retreating from a cat is the worst response, triggers the predator in them.
