My buddy in Estes texted me yesterday afternoon that a lion killed a hiker on Crosier Mtn outside Estes. That sucks.

Tragic! Has to be one of the worst ways to go. Couple this with the lady who got eaten by the great white in Monterey bay last week, it’s been an unlucky time for outdoorswomen in the west.

If you haven’t read The Beast in the Garden by David Barron, I highly recommend it.

Two less lions on the mountain. The importance of carrying a good handgun.

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. If one does get successfully killed by a mountain lion, its almost certainly over in a matter of seconds from the time the attack is initiated. If given a choice, I'd take death by mtn lion over quite a few other options.

It doesn’t matter how you die, but it sucks to be dead.

I’m going to refrain from labeling it a tragedy until we get more information.

They often crush the larynx to cause suffocation. That takes awhile.

Lar-inks, not lar-nix, like my wife says.

Man I was up there looking for deer this year. Glassed up another hunter who was doing the same.

RIP to the woman.

I sure hope she wasn’t up there trying to pet a Mtn Lion…. You never know

Always a sad deal....

What information would sway you? Are you thinking we might learn she was a serial killer?

Wild take to decide to put on the internet.

He's both sides-ing a mountain lion death I love it.

I think it is a tragedy that someone lost their life. Mtn lions are not "little kitty's" as some perceive. Questions I would like answered; was the person experienced, did she have bear spray or a handgun. Finally, a cat loves to stalk and pounce. May just be nature and we may just have to accept that nature can be cruel. I say this as I look at a Boone and Crockett cat on my wall.

Can confirm. Buddy of mine (not colorado ) got killed by a Mt Lion and he said it was actually pretty legit and not bad at all.
