A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his rifle

and she (fortunately) with her camera. Their dogs always

followed them, but on this occasion a Mountain Lion decided

that he wanted to stalk the dogs (you'll see the dogs in the

background watching).

Very, very bad decision...

The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the air

to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion charged

in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs. With that, the mule took

off and decided he wanted a piece of that lion. That's when all hell broke

loose... for the lion.

As the lion approached the dogs the mule snatched him up by the tail and

started whirling him around. Banging its head on the ground on every pass.

Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the throat.?

The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a couple of

dozen times to make sure it was dead, than whipped it into the air again,

walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in silence) and stood there

ready to continue his ride... as if nothing had just happened.

Fortunately even though the hunter didn't get off a shot, his wife got off these 4...
