I got a buddy who has a bunch of hunting hounds, he takes his camera with him when he runs em. Now, we got a lot of mountain lions in these here parts & he usualy takes pics of the big cats after his dogs have treed em then leaves them be. This time the cat turned & attacked his dogs, he popped off a couple pics before the cat jumped off the ledge & escaped! Two dogs were injured but survived, he said this was a very large cat & he doesnt look very happy! Welcome to Idaho!
Im amazed that he could hold steady while poppin the pics.................he said it was a noisy minute or two! He got two or three other pics but they turned out blurry. Said his heart was pounding hard when it was all finished & his dogs didnt even try to continue the chase, they'd had enough of this big kitty!
I guess two of the dogs got slapped around a bit, got bloody noses so to speak, but the wounds werent very serious & they survived. He carries a side arm with him when he runs his dogs & has had to kill a few cats that would stand their ground & not climb a tree, but only after they've tore his dogs up a bit. He has lost dogs to cats in the past................"Bad kitty, Bad kitty!"
