The funny thing about mountain lions is you are actually a fairly lucky person to even see one. Having spent two weeks in the high hills of Colorado last October on an elk hunt, we had this conversation about what to do if we had an encounter with a lion. The outfitter who had been in that area for more than 15 years said that we would most likely not see a cat while we were hunting, and he was right. He stated that he had only seen two cats in the 15 years he was in that area. I will tell you that I personally crossed at least three different tracks each day, some fresh some not and no cat to be seen. This is in an area that these cats are everywhere. It is in there blood to be silent and to move undetected.
