"While thru hiking the PNT in Montana I encountered a mother and baby mountain lion. The mother appeared curious then charged me. I tried to deploy bear spray and eventually threw a rock which gave me room to get by. She followed me down the mountain and continued to follow me. I eventually found myself at a Fish Camp lake with towering mountains. I prepared to engage if she continued. Then thought a fire would likely deter her. I was awake all night tending to the fire and listening to 3 mountain lion chirps going back and forth." Credit: Michael Monahan
