The only encounter we ever had with a cougar was while camping north of Gang. The big cat loved the smell of fried smoked pork chops & approached the camper within 20 to 30 feet. A double barreled 12 g shotgun blast above its head immediately changed its mind never to be seen or heard again.
Had a wolverine approach our tents in the Yukon in 1965 late at night & was finally shot.
Had this only happen once

We had some mice in our hunting camp last fall. We put out a five gallon beer can trap out and it took care of the lot of them in one night

Not my story, but my youngst brother's truck broke down 15 miles in the wilderness from
his camp, and as the truck was at quite an angle and it was a nice autumn evening with a
full moon, he spread his sleeping bag out by some big trees. He was alone and even though
he worked as a logger and rancher, was nervous about being by himself out there at night.
After falling asleep with his roaded rifle right beside him, he said he had something land on his
chest with a big thump. Startled, when he opened his eyes he saw something big, gray, and
furry staring right at him. He said he let out a big scream like a girl as he frantically batted it
away. He had batted it through the air a few feet, and then it rolled up against a tree. In a
panicky split second he was able to grab his gun and shoot that monster as it came up against
the tree. It was a large Pack Rat. This unnerved him so badly he walked all the way back to
camp while swinging his rifle back and forth in front of him...just in case...lol!

Is a Horse Fly, considered an animal?!
Had one attacking me relentlessly for a good 20 min, walking back to camp, let my guard down, took a chunk out of my bicep...
It hit the jackpot, blood streaming down my arm...
He's anything but a hunter.
More like another, Rain Coast Sociopath Fraud. Living off the prevails of his chronic lies, like the rest of them...
It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.
To the point you or Joe public, won't know them any more..
They count on that big time..

There's a backcountry cabin a friend built, an hour from any road, and calling it a road is generous.
It's got a lower floor, with a stove and counter and a couple benches, and a sleeping loft. Under the cabin is random crap storage, and woodshed.
The place gets 10+ feet of snow every year, and is used for backcountry skiing by a few folks. So he's up there one fall, getting it stocked with firewood for the winter, and doing the annual clean out. After some drinks and recreational herbage, he crawls upstairs (upladder) and into his fart sack and passes out.
Middle of the night there's a bumping at the door, and it pops open. He sits up, and peers down and sees a black bear pushing through the door.
The door swings shut behind it.
The only door.
So he's now in an 8x12 A frame cabin, with a bear. Fortunately, there's a bb gun upstairs, for shooting mice, and he used it to swing the door open, then went to the far end, where the bear is now curled up on the floor enjoying a relaxing evening in the last vestiges of woodstove heat, and asked the bear to leave.
The cabin door has a latch on the inside too now.
The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.

Blame it on the female that needed your blood to procreate.
One of the reasons I disliked about hunting moose in August north of Germansen.
Remember one morning while approaching a swampy area the kamikaze face dives by literally dozens. Had to run for my life!
And lets not forget the hanging animal at camp. They’re capable of biting through the cheesecloth to feed &/or lay their eggs.
Definitely a numero uno pest!

Those blood thirsty buggers can fly fast! Many times I've seen them pacing my vehicle at close
to 30 mph just outside a side window. I had to call it quits one sunny day on one of my bicycle
tours up north of Carmacks because of them. There's no way a person can chase them off even
with a stick when you're trying to pedal and hold on to the handle bars. Used up a lot of Band-Aids
for sure! Fortunately my wife was hop scotching our truck along as we went so I was able to seek
sanctuary. Resumed my trip really early in the morning before those hordes became active.
