SCREAM

This morning, about 4:15am, I was walking down the driveway to pickup the morning paper, turned around and took about 3 steps back towards the house, and heard what I first thought was a woman screaming.
Then it hit me.....that's no woman, it's a mountain lion. It was about 100 to 150 yards due west of the house, which is all wild ranch land, it was dark, and I had a scare.
However, I as always, had my .38 Special in my hand, but would have rather had a .12 ga with 00 Buck at the moment.
One scream, and that was it. If you've never heard one, listen on utube, it'll make the hair on your neck stand up I bet.

Thanks for stopping in.

  1. Glad you are ok and that you were not attacked.

    I had no idea mountain lions sounded like a woman screaming, I guess that is good to know.

    It amazes me how you never forget to carry your weapon with you even to get the paper. I try to remember to take my little camera, yet I always forget :(

  2. One of the first times we stayed at Terlingua Ranch, it was just turning dusk and we heard a mountain lion scream...and you are absolutely right! The hair on the back of my neck did stand up.

    Would still love to see one (from a safe distance).
