"Cougar paws at man in hot tub" must've been too risqué.

Honestly, it's time for someone to turn in their press badge, they clearly don't have the chops.

You gotta taste the soup as it cooks. You know to adjust the seasonings.

The trick is to undercook the onions. Everybody is going to get to know each other in the pot.

That's what cougar mc friendsize was doing? And now he's in trouble.

Exactly. I mean, you could smell it simmering all the way down the block. Who doesn't want some of that?

There’s nothing more juxtaposed to chilling in a hot tub than getting attacked by a goddamn big cat

I don't think that thought has passed through the minds of anyone being savagely killed by a wild animal.

Not like it’s a big state or anything. What the fuck

Tapingdrywallsucks t1_jd34fjw wrote

yeah, it took 2-3 extra clicks to find the town.

For anyone thinking that's trivial, for one, Colorado is big. Second, this is unusual behavior (although growing more common), and that lion will continue to be way too unafraid of humans and must be captured. They're also territorial, so this lion won't be wandering too far and folks in other towns should be able to use their hot tubs at night without too much fear.

That said, mountain lion behavior is seems to be changing kind of rapidly, so who knows how far this cat will go for stewed human.

Tbf whenever a colorado state wide news reports on a mountain town its always referred to as a "Colorado town" in the headline or opening words of all reports here for as long as I've been alive. So it's just how we do it here cause even we don't bother to learn the name of every Nederland or Southpark

The mountain lions attacking people isn't that unusual for at least the decades I've been here. I personally know a number of people who've have very close run ins with unafraid mountain lions around here the past 30 years. It may be happening more but it's simply to be expected due to what we're doing to their homes (the same thing is happening with all the animals around here).

Currently I still worry about running into a moose or a scared deer more than a mountain lion (I tend to try to keep my head up for all the wildlife of course) as I and people I know have had many more close calls with moose, elk, and deer up in the mountains than the mountain lions.

Would be nice if we'd just stop fighting for space with them and just let them have more breathing room

Mountain Lions have been a pain in the ass in grand county since I was born.

It's not unusual for a large predator to try to intimidate us off the mountains. It's their habitat we are invading.

A girl in the 90s was killed by one while fishing off a dock up here. Very common in the mountains.

EdgeOfWetness t1_jd3og15 wrote

That's the fashion these days. Usually the website it appears on studiously neglects to tell more than the city. Usually they will add the county, as if anyone outside that city knows which fucking county is which

There's a hiking trail just south west of Montrose. If memory serves it's Spring Creek canyon. The trail goes so close to a puma den you can smell the scent they spray to mark their territory. I never saw one except very briefly crossing the main road in Beaver Creek. I know 3 people who poached pumas.

When you live in the wild what do you expect. I live in CO and would never live in a remote area like that. Also never hike alone or trail run alone unless it is a popular area. We live in their territory, wish people would respect that.
