Mountain Lion in Brown County this time

But more likely he either wanted a monetizable (or at least make him famous) video

That would take an impressive amount of planning to go out and intentionally get a big cat to stalk you.

No. Sometimes a payday video comes to you. Just saying sometimes you dont have to go looking for a moment. Sometimes it comes to you.

I suppose so for some people, but as for me, my phone would be the last thing I had on my mind!

"Holy crap, there's a mountain lion and it's coming for me!"

Is that big a** kitty cat was that close to me, I think I would have been dropping that d*** phone and be getting two hands on that gun and putting rounds on Target.

All that cat saw was food...

Not sure I would have been walking backwards with the cat that close and hoping I didn't trip over something and go down backwards. That cat would have been on him in a flash.

Can you shoot these cats?

I can't have them eating the neighbor's chickens (and my fresh eggs.)

I have heard odd sounds coming from the surrounding woods at night for years. Kind of a baby crying/scream sort of noise.

Neighborhood pets are all still intact though, even with the 'yotes passing through regularly.

Great horned owl likely. They are fairly common in Indiana. They do more than hoot. I have heard one that 100% sounded like a dying crying kitten. I think it did it to attract prey.

If you follow the sound usually they do not fly away. They are always curious and if they do move it is usually just to another tree close by and they will keep watching you as long as you are on their turf normally.
