I heard somewhere that in Washington State there has been just 2 or 3 confirmed cougar fatalities in the last 70 years. I cant remember the exact number but the thing that stood out was how few cougar caused deaths there were.

Its always in the back of my mind hiking remote watersheds. Ive seen enough cat tracks to know they are watching us eek

Nothing to worry about really, its those a** busting rocks that will be the death of me beathead
