How would you handle this?

[Abby Normal]

I wouldn’t be this cool. 1 warning shoot, 6 1/2” holes to the head.

 

[Bolt Head]

I would NOT have waited that long to fire. That cat is no joke, and is not joking. It's not walking up on you like that to get a sniff of you or a scratch on the head. They are vicious, fast, and very strong.

I'll bite my tongue on the rest of what I want to say. LOL

 

[Big H]

Probably not very well--you can always prepare for a situation (or think you are) but???
Hopefully would end up with a dead cat and me walking away looking over my shoulder.

 

[BIGGREEN]

Well, from the looks of how close he got I would have probably scared him of with fecal odor...LOL

 

[krotsman]

I would have thought that first close miss would have scared him off.

Make no mistake about it, cats are killing machines. Your precious cute little tabby cat purring at your feet right now is thinking "if I was just a little bit bigger I'd shred this guy and eat on him for weeks!".

Give that cat a couple shots of fully automatic aroma.

 

[T-Rigger]

How would I handle it...? Two hands on the pistol... surely not making a video at the time!

 

[V.Taltos]

I'd have put one shot into the ground in front of it and if it kept coming, I'd have a lion skin to make into a rug. I doubt I'd have been out there without a rifle, with a pistol backup and a long knife of course!

 

[UncleBiff]

not with a glock. 454 casull all the way.

Not me - cat actively stalking humans needs to be put down because humans > cat.

Even if I missed the first two shots like that guy did, I would try to catch my breath and make a shot after the fact.

I remember petting one (Cougar) at the Hammond Air Show in the 80s. Those cats are Long! 2 teen girls walked up as I was leaving & asked the owner if they “could pet his Dog”. As they are both kneeling down petting his pretty dog, the owner says That’s not a dog, that’s a Mountain Lion.
They both jumped back and screeched “Lion!”
The cougar just looked up like why did you stop petting me.

 

[Tonyaav]

Not as big. A Bobcat ( big male cat) stalked me in my stand opening weekend of Primitive. Didn't not occur to me to get my phone. Gave him the opportunity to change his mind, he refused. Rolled up.

 

[Abby Normal]

It my not kill you but a Bobcat can be a real Bad A$$.

 

[Forgotten]

I would like to think I would be cool under pressure but the truth is I would probably mag dump and be fumbling for another mag.

Same. And if I got lucky I would then employ the other 2 S's.....Shovel and Shut up

That's what I was wondering, was his other hand holding up a phone to record? Wasn't sure if that was what was going on, or does he carry a go pro but his other hand was holding something else while hiking/hunting.

 

[Cbt]

I had a Bobcat stalk me once while squirrel hunting in Natchez. Sure got MY attention!
As they say: "The hunt is all fun and games, until the Rabbit shows up with a shotgun!"

 

[AK shooter]

If you know anything about cats, his ears were laid back and he was not backing down. Shoot to kill, he was looking for a meal.

 

[WhereIsIt?]

I've had geese at lafrenier park come at me in the same way. The best course of action is redirection. In my case it was a 5yo kid with a bag of bread. That kid was my son. Chaotic running ensued. Once I seen he was gassed out I told him to let go of the bag. He then took a nice long nap. Never let a life lesson go to waste.

 

[Cbt]

I was carrying a .22lr semi-auto, but wasn't sure if that would make things worse. Can't recall the ears ~ startled the heck out of me!

Stalking likely. I had been "squealing" to imitate a crippled rabbit. It irritates the hell out of fox squirrels and they come out and bark like crazy. I'm sure the Bobcat thought it was easy prey, too.
