One Bad-Ass
http://www.teamster.net/index.php?showtopic=42982
A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his
rifle and she (fortunately) with her camera. Their dogs always followed
them, but on this occasion a Mountain Lion decided that he wanted to
stalk the dogs (you'll see the dogs in the background watching). Very,
very bad decision...
The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot
in the air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot
the lion charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs. With
that, the mule took off and decided he wanted a piece of that lion.
That's when all hell broke loose... for the lion.
As the lion approached the dogs the mule snatched him up by the
tail and started whirling him around. Banging its head on the ground on
every pass. Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground
by the throat. The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all
over a couple of dozen times to make sure it was dead, than whipped it
into the air again, walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in
silence) and stood there ready to continue his ride... as if nothing had
just happened. Fortunately even though the hunter didn't get off a shot,
his wife got off these 4.
