couple of mt lions

Bout 10 years a buddy and me were turkey hunting a ridge in San Diego on a foggy morning. He'd been calling for about 1/2 hour when he heard toenails coming down the bark on a tree about 20 yards from him. He thought it was a squirrel until a cougar jumped off the tree trunk and ran away. That cat had be watching and listening to him the whole time.

So he tells me the story later so the next day I moved to another spot, I didn't want no part of that cat. It was foggy again that morning and as the fog moved in and out a I see something creeping toward me about 70 yards out. At first I thought it was my mind playing with me but when whatever it was got to 50 yards I knew something was stalking me. I clicked the safety off and swung the shotgun around just in case. At 40 yards I still couldn't see clearly what it was, it looked like the bushes were moving but the fog kept obscuring it. At 30 yards I started hollering and out popped this guy with a ghillie on. WTH?

Sweet jeebus, he was a Marine from Pendleton who was stalking my calling. He was all proud of his ghillie but I don't think he realized how spooked I was in that fog that day.

You hockey guys are always a little nervous.
