KAMAS, Utah (AP) — Utah authorities say a bow hunter suffered minor chest and leg injuries when he was attacked by a mountain lion that stalked him and his father before and after the attack.
Division of Wildlife Resources spokesman Phil Douglas says the attack happened Saturday in mountains near Kamas, east of Salt Lake City.
Douglas says conservation officers were sent to the scene and that a man and his dog were attempting to track the mountain lion so it can be euthanized if found because of the attack.
Summit County Sheriff’s Lt. Andrew Wright says the wounded hunter declined medical attention because he wanted to continue hunting.

Here we go again. No, this man was not attacked by a mountain lion. He was attacking the mountain lion with a bow, and the mountain lion fought him off in self-defense! The man would have ‘suffered’ zero injuries had he not gone after the cat.
Good God, people really need an attitude adjustment. The sense of superiority and entitlement really is nauseating. The media should not go along and encourage it.
“…people really need an attitude adjustment. The sense of superiority and entitlement really is nauseating.”100% agree!! It’s the root of all evil.
I didn’t realize at first that the guy’s injuries were so minor that he didn’t even need to go to a hospital, or wouldn’t – but yet the animal who would dare defend itself needs to be killed.
Ha. I imagine a couple of good paw swipes and ripped to ribbons like in the cartoons. 🙂
