Pat Riot Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 What...they had a tire pump... When I lived in SoCal cougars would chase mountain bikers there too. It was quite nice in the woods after a report of a cougar chasing mountain bikes. Had the woods to myself for a while...then the normal memory loss would occur and the self entitled idiots would be out there tearing up trails and b****ing when people were in the way. I would always root for the cougars but it’s too bad the guy died. Like you said Willie, shoulda had a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some years ago we had a jogger killed in IIRC Boulder Canyon. Wildlife officials say, if nothing else, try to make yourself appear bigger and make a lot of noise. Packing iron isn't always possible, especially in anti-gun locales. But unless absolutely prohibited, hikers, bikers and other pilgrims should consider packing at least a .38 Spl with +P loads.!

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I've had several cougars chase after me, some I ran from, others I didn't. Then there are those I wish had caught and wrestled down myself. Even today, some will give me a quick, predatory glance, but most are after fresher, more tender meat than I have to offer.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Even at the least, would a .22 be o.k? Something like a 3" SP101 in .327 Mag would also be an easy to carry, potent defense pistol. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody want's ta use something OTHER than a .41 Freedom Arms, or S&W, or Ruger. A .41 is what the guy needed Well Grampaw, if it's any comfort, my favorite backpacking iron is/was a .41 Mag Blackhawk. That's what I bought it for, seemed to be the biggest punch for the weight. Also the only handgun I ever killed a deer with. Ground hunting, killed a nice fat barren doe at 26 yards. Dropped like a bag of concrete.

Noz Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Looks like some education is warranted. The 41 Mag can do anything a 44 Mag can do with better bullets until the 44 Mag goes into the 300+ grain bullet. The .411 LBT 260 gr. WFN is a really nasty customer when buddied up with a lot of W296. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex His stuff is top notch and very period authentic. Maybe not what most fellers want for CAS but very comfortable to wear ( I LOVE the money belt) and perfect for re-enacting or just a great leather companion for your SAA.

Now I might hafta git one. Thanks for the primer, Noz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
