A fair number of events of close encounters with mountain lions, down here in southwest Texas' "Big Bend".
Howsomever, I still remember my startlement when walking up to a wounded buck. I had shot him running, out maybe 150-175 yards, and hit too far back, breaking the spine behind the shoulders.
As I neared, he got his front legs under him and made as close to a "Roar!" sort of noise as ever I've heard, even from an irate bull! He lowered his head and made hooking motions, as if eager to do some serious damage.
Definitely an attention-getter.
He wuz tasty, though...
