BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - Wielding his chain saw as a weapon, a Colorado man says he fought off a starving mountain lion that attacked him while he was camping with his wife and two toddlers in northwestern Wyoming.

This guy must have steel balls the size of....well, something rather large.

he's my hero......he must be related to chuck norris.

He's damned lucky to have spotted the lion as he did, otherwise things might not have worked out as they did.

After Britton's confrontation, he and his wife, Kirsta, decided to stay the night in their pop-up camper with their two children rather than risk packing up with the lion still on the loose.

I like this part. This has to be the "balls" part that you're referring to ? . . . . Johnny ? :hatsoff:

"It's very, very rare" for lions to attack, said Wyoming Game and Fish spokesman Warren Mischke. "We're still trying to investigate why this lion would behave this way."

Attacks on humans in rural country foothilled areas are very "very rare rare" here only because people know that the lions don't normally draw on two or more humans when together as a group. One would be foolish to travel about the foothills as a solo.

FWIW The mountain lions in my parts are much more, umm, well to do shall we say, than the cougar featured in the story, reason being is that there are plenty of deer to munch on, if we use the road kill toll as any indication.


I can already sense that we'll hear from the fringe - far left animal right advocacy folks,
that is, the self loathing, anti military, fringe - far left animal rights advocacy folks lol !,
who would have desired for things to have worked out differently for Mr. Britton and family. :sigh:

"a starving mountain lion."

How do they know? I say they were exaggerating. :tongue:

He sure was "brave" with his chainsaw.

Do they have a pic of the guy? Maybe that explains it.

I haven't seen a picture.

But, it made the news in Japan.

Honorable Wyoming man defeats fierce lion.

Fuck that would be easy. I would fend off a rabid bear with a chainsaw [and maybe even try it against Chuck Norris as well].

I wouldn't have felt any fear if I'd a chainsaw with me no matter what wild animal attacked me.

I'd just go to town on it's Candy Ass with the saw... LEATHERFACE STYLE!!! :nanner:

Skin the fucker and wear it as a coat.

Now if the guy was to fend the animal off with a tooth pick or a bent stick, he'd get praise from me. But he cheated and used a chainsaw. Not much will stand up to a chainsaw [except maybe Chuck Norris's beard].

I wonder what went through the Mtn Lion's head. Like either, fuck it I can take him. Or What the Fuckin hell is that!

 

[mrtrebus]

Mmm, a chainsaw. Yep, that would do!!

That's sort of true. If he would have faced it with spear, then it might have been really impressive.

Screw Chuck Norris, That was Bruce Campbell style.

But who brings a chainsaw on a camping trip?

Ash, of course.

In a recession you use whatever you can. The lion has its teeth, the man his chainsaw.

First we had a naked guy roaming the streets of Las Vegas telling cops they are a terminator from the future cos he was fucked out of his tiny mind on LSD and Hash. Now we have rednecks wielding chainsaws picking fights with mountain lions. What next?. Granny's packing heat GTA style?.

 

[Skyraider22]

Damn Now that is one hellish fight

Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.
