We walk our Lab in that general area every morning. Never seen a cat in the six + years we have lived here.

He strangled it to death.
i'd like to see pictures. either a sick cat or a beast of a man to be able to choke out a mountain lion.
Where do you see that he choked it?
I have seen some big cat spoor around Twin Lakes. I have never seen a big cat though. I have seen some big cat spoor around Pikes Peak, up Horsethief Park trail too. I guess he was in a thick brush area.
If the cat gets you by the back of the neck, you are probably doomed.
Meh, I've been chased by cougars before.
Some even liked being choked....
Apparently he had a concealed pillow permit [ROFL2]
The article I read said the cat was about 80 pounds, so either it was sick or young.

Think the "smothered" in the article title is just the nice way of the press saying that he choked that bitch to death?
That's certainly a story for sitting around the campfire.
"There I was, in my favorite Nike's, dressed like a geek, when suddenly.....ROWR!! I whipped out my concealed-carry-dry-cleaning-bag and suffocated the som-bee-otch."
Young cat trying to get through its first winter. Good job to the runner. He's got one hell of a story to tell his grand kids.
I heard of a story in WY of a guy fending off another young cat with a chainsaw. Again.. They're young, hungry and trying to survive their first winter.
When I read that he strangled it, my first thought was this: "It's impossible to run with balls that big."Quote:

He could have at least wore a GoPro camera.
Denver zoo has a great picture outside the mountain lion exhibit - I think it's of a mother and child getting the typical tourist picture taken, and in the grass behind them is a mountain lion - probably eyeing the child.Quote:

That would be a badass story to tell to your kids and grandkids!

New twist in story.
The VPC and Gabby Giffords have denounced the killing as senseless. Wanting to know why the jogger couldn't have called 911 instead.
Fellow joggers are rallying round the as of yet unnamed man . Holding signs and chanting
FROM MY COLD SWEATY SHORTS
Am I the only one wondering why the jogger wasn't armed with at least a knife? Maybe he was and simply chose to choke the cat out to validate his man card?
Thanks.Quote:

My mom raised three mountain lions for her doctorate years ago, and she concurs it must have been very juvenile. She was wondering if something happened to its mother, since it apparently hadn't properly learned hunting.
I guess he prefers jujitsu over jushootsu.Quote:

On archerytalk the consensus regarding mountain lion attacks in general is they are usually juveniles.
Or sick and weak.Quote:

The CPW should do a full taxidermy mount of that kitty and offer or dedicate it to Mr. Kauffman.
Juvenile mtn lion or mtn lion with rabies. If someone can choke out a lion, he is tier of it's own.
From the coverage, the mountain lion's friends and family had pretty much eaten it before the CPW folks got back to the scene.Quote:

Curious how large the cat really was.
