Thought the dogs would enjoy this: So I get home tonight from the gym at about 630 and here in Washington it is dark then, So I park my car in the guyrage (yes I spelled that right) go to my work truck in the driveway to gut the pistol that I left there, grab it and head to the mailbox. As I head to the mailbox I shine my G2L across the street into the woods and see some glowing eyes, so naturally I throw a couple of stones his way to get some movement (thinking it is the large buck that has been hanging around here) nothing, no movement, no eye movement not anything! I think to myself "thats odd self" as I get closer I think to myself I can see both of his eyes .... at the same time, hint NOT A DEER, as I walk within 20 or so feet I see the large white ghest of the Cougar staring at me never loosing eye contact it hits me what I am looking at and I imediatly feel my heart beat increase to a very fast pace (bump bump bump)2 very big very close very green eyes looking at me from 20 feet! I rapidly ( as rapidly as a 1 legged man can)back my butt back up the driveway never breaking eye contact with this very large creature up to my house and from there I watch him for 20 minutes sneaking around in the brush. I don't know what his intentions were but I am thinking that he was looking at me like a starved carton chatacter that had been marooned on an island for a long long time. Long story short it scared the crap out of me! Did I mention that I imediatly pulled my .357 out from my waist and put the CT laser on the left eye as I backed up. SCARY Anyone else have something like this happen to them? I would have felt better if I had my DF in hand. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

maybe you should call the rangers or cops, so no one gets in trouble!

I bet your heart was racing a mile a minute. And even faster before you got your handgun on sight.
You think you could have hit him if he had lunged at you?
