In a decade of being on Colorado trails constantly as almost my mission in life, I never ever saw one. They saw me hundreds of times. Stealthy little man eating bastards.
RIP.
RIP.

Yeah the honey collectors in the Sunderbans in India did that because of all the man eating Tigers to some success.

Mountain lions rarely attack humans.
Rarely but not never. I’ve been stalked by mountain lions on more than one occasion while hunting and hiking. I’m not talking a passing encounter, I’m talking them following me, paralleling me, and trying different angles of observation.
The thing that most likely saved me was relative size. If I was a small woman instead of a large man, they likely would have moved in.

A cougar will maul the hell out of you.
I heard a guy telling a story about hiking out west. They have bears and cougars out there. He said he was told that when hiking through the woods it is best to make noise. Shuffle feet, step on branches, leaves, etc. so that the bears will know where you are. The bears actually try to avoid conflict and when they hear the noises in the woods, they don't know what it is and will try to stay away.
But, the problem is, the cougar will know exactly where you are!

Hikers and mountains and mountain lions equals more attacks. There are a lot of hikers in Colorado. It is the most fit state.

We say guns save lives all the time. The left does not. Crunchy people think nature isn't dangerous and rocks will save them. Guns would have. I was making fun of them with a brain addled by what was happening during OM/UGA.

solo hike/ ski/ c.c. ski at this time of year is suicidal.
El oh el, no. Been here 20 years and not once has a mtn lion attack been of a concern. Rattlesnakes and moose are what you need to pay attention to here and neither care if you are alone or in a group.

More tips and information about safety around mountain lions and other wildlife is available on the CPW website.
I doubt that site suggests or admits this, but here's a tip capable of achieving the only meaningful solution once a mountain lion fully commits to choosing you as its prey:

People save lives using guns.

My cousin lives in Colorado and goes solo hiking all the time. She always has her dog with her when she hikes. Not sure what kind of dog she has, it appears to be at least 50lbs.

This is why I always carry when hiking

I’ve had a very close encounter with a Lion hunting in Texas . You can’t imagine what the body and mind does when one screams in your ear from a few feet away. I was sitting on the ground against a large tree scouting and never heard it come up behind me. I’m 68 years old, hunted over 50 years, nothing in my lifetime prepared me for that!

Evidently, it’s highly restricted and regulated, I’d imagine this can’t help tag requests…
I don’t remember if it was California or Washington, but I remember hearing on a podcast that voters in one of those states approved a ballot initiative a few years ago that banned the use of dogs for hunting mountain lions. And since packs of dogs was how practically all of the lion hunting was done, it effectively crushed recreational lion hunting in the state. But now instead of recreational hunters paying the state for lion tags, the state is spending millions to pay nuisance animal trappers to go catch and kill lions that are preying on livestock or that start hanging around in populated areas.

Told this before on outdoor board.
Was hiking slot canyon’s in Utah when I saw two bighorn up right at about 30 feet, damn that’s strange, they didn’t bolt but nervious. And then across to the left there it was about 30 feet above me. Wasn’t very large cat but all Mountain Lion. Wasn’t too long but time stretched as each of us kept looking around at each other. All I could think was to get my daypack off and give it a face full if it leaped. Make myself seem big. Mexican stand off ended when the two sheep went straight up and the cat slowly withdrew. Me, I just kept saying thank YOU thank YOU over and over for a little while.
