CREEPY, hunting this past weekend walking up a ridgeline with a buddy, had our headlamps on at 445 in the morning, looked up and caught a pair of green glowing eyes looking at us about 20yds away. it sat there and stared at us as we talked at normal volume levels to see if this thing would spook and it didn't, I feel like if it was a deer or coyote it would of high tailed it. the beam on our headlamps wasn't bright enough to see it fully, but it just seemed very catty in the way it was moving its head around like how a house cat licks itself and turns its head. after about 10 minutes of this and me and my friend having rounds in the chamber just in case of. this thing just turned and without the slightest peep or crunch of a leaf was gone. we sat there for another 10 minutes thinking if it is a mountain lion we will let it run far away before we peak over the next ridge it seemed to disappear over. I'm not saying what we saw was a breed of cat either lion or bobcat, maybe it was a coyote but I have seen em enough and feel like this thing would have surely spooked if it was and it wasn't a deer for sure. and I'm not professional tracker or expert on all the game tracks out there but later that day we found some tracks crossing a tiny 4x4 road not far from where we had our sighting, and heading in the direction that we saw it disappear to, the first thing I thought when I seen the tracks was A: those are a mountain lions tracks or B: they were made by a big burly oversized german shepard dog. after google images provided us with some examples of lion tracks we determined that yes indeed they were very much so lion tracks.
