So far I been lucky only having 2 too close for comfort run ins with cougar. Hopefully 3rd time is not a charm.

Any one individual? Right because only about 10% of the population ever puts themselves in a place where it could happen.

You guys need to go outside. It's sunny!

Detailed Calculation Of The Odds Of Death From A Mountain Lion Attack On A Person Bottom Line: You expect on average to be killed by a car at the very minimum 320 times before you expect to be killed by a mountain lion. So you really shouldn't start worrying about a mountain lion killing you until at least 160 of your hiking companions have been killed by automobiles. https://tchester.org/sgm/lists/lion_attack_odds.html

I tried going outside, but I got attacked by a darn lion. What are my odds of a second attack in a typical hiker lifespan? I'm thinking luck is with me if I want to start playing the lottery. I always feel fortunate to have rare wildlife encounters. I tell you what: cougars don't really hold a candle to the fear ignited by attacks of cabezon, cone shells, and coco de mer. Not to mention those little damselfish that will bite you in the arse if you encroach on their anemone. I'm starting to worry about those killer marmots in Roush Basin, too.
