I go on my favorite walk less often than I used to simply because we have had 3 cougar attacks (1)in the past couple years. One was a fatality, the other woman was pulled from the jaws of death quite literally by her friend. About 25 years ago a small girl (2)was attacked. I used to walk by myself almost every weekend, but now I only tempt fate occasionally.
Actually, just yesterday.
(1) about 5 miles NE of here (2) about 10 miles SE of here
My walk is in a river canyon that is part of the local wilderness.
Well, it's customers like the one's in the photo (and their many mammalian cousins) that make it a good idea to enter the forest prepared for any emergency.
