Fatal mountain lion attack Colorado

[180ls1]

Yea isn’t that wild. People are insane. If these idiots only knew how many lions CPW killed on a weekly basis in Colorado because of conflicts they would loose their minds

Here in CA (voters banned lion hunting) they kill MORE lions now then when we hunted them....

They always reference fatal attacks when talking about how rare lions attack. Imho an attack is an attack statistically when reviewing conflicts. Sure CO hadn’t had a fatal attack for a number of years, yet there was an attack weeks prior in the same area. Only knowing the former without the latter paints a different picture (likely intentional).

The lions are thick around my house. There was guy that lived a couple house down from me that was a USFW hunter and he lived to hunt lions. He asked me to go with him a few times but I'm not a horse guy. He used to have a pet lion that rode around on the back of the seat in his station wagon, That drew a few stares! He gave me a couple copies of the book he wrote of his hunting experiences, I don't know if one could find any copies anymore but it is a good read, Titled " Brave and other stories" by Steve M Matthes.

Yea exactly. Sad how that works huh. The antis think they are helping the animals but really it doesn’t. We see that in Colorado with spring bear. They banned it and now we have a bear problem and hundred are killed and wasted by the state instead of hunters harvesting them and paying money to mount them and utilizing the meat.

Did the lion just kill her and leave the kill? Or did it try to consume her? Wonder if it was instinct kill

You didn't read the articles. The info you seek is there.

I did read the article, it doesn't say if the lion was actively feeding on the woman. It even states "no information on the woman's injuries".

Anyone else ever wonder how many times they’ve been stalked by a lion? I’m not sure I’d want to know even if I could get a firm number on it.
If a lion wants to kill you, it’s going to kill you is how I’ve always looked at it. Unless you get lucky with a pistol or have someone with you to help fight it off or shoot it your ass is gonna be cat food.
Hopefully it was over in seconds and the woman didn’t have to suffer too much.

I had one watching my boss pretty intently as we worked on a PIT tag array back in my fisheries days. For some reason I noticed the cat laying under the juniper and chased it away with a shovel.

We had a pair waiting in ambush at the gut pile near camp in TX. One of our guys took a hog carcass to dump at night and when he shined his light up the hill he saw 2 pairs of eyes staring back at him. He dumped his 9mm at them. Don't think he hit them as we never found a blood trail or dead cat.

Re-read the post, now I’m looking for clarification. You said “successfully killed,” can someone get “unsuccessfully killed?”

Got you on this one. The legal term “attempted murder” is the same way and is considered a perfectly valid term.

I was hunting solo in WY a few years ago. Glassing from a long ridge in the evening after a fresh snow. Hiked out to the truck in the dark (about 2 miles). When I headed back in the morning, I noticed lion tracks almost immediately in my tracks, not 10 yards from the truck. They stayed on my trail from the night before the entire way back to ridge where I was glassing from. The spot I sat the most had tracks circling everywhere. I figure it was watching me for some amount of time and followed me out. Creepy for sure.

They threw rocks at it to get it to go away. You asked if it had just killed and left her. Further in one of the articles it says they were going to conduct DNA tests to determine which lion might have human remains in it suggesting that at least one of them ate on her.

“They will also be tested for human DNA, Van Hoose said. If the lions don't prove to have evidence of human DNA, a search will continue.”

Suck it!

The article says the cat was 100 yards away from the body

Bbob,
Apparently reading comprehension is a problem you have. I specifically asked if it tried to "consume her". Instead of tying to be a smart ass, maybe you can provide a useful answer next time to my actual question.

Testing them for human DNA isn’t really suggesting the cat fed on her. They will find her DNA on the cat that killed her whether it fed on her or not. Again if it did, the article never says that.

 

[BBob]

I specifically asked if it tried to "consume her".

The fact that they are looking for DNA “in it” says that the cat they are looking for consumed her. They say if a cat they kill doesn’t have human DNA in it they will continue looking for another cat. That tells me whichever lion killed her also ate on her.

“which lion might have human remains in it”

Keywords “in it” not on it.

I don’t know if it’s arrogant, but it’s a perspective. Beats knowing your airplane is going down on fire or being caught in a burning nightclub or having to jump from the World Trade Center.

Working in healthcare, I can assure you that there are a whole bunch of ways to die that I would take mountain lion/bear over every single time.
