if theres any chance at all you got scratched during all that id be worried about rabies

Yea I about shirt my pants for sure, I couldn't imagine a mountain lion. I was fortunate I didn't get nicked when she swung at me when u was releasing her. A man could get rich selling videos of trapping bloopers if he videod everything. Lol I bet. I agree releasing a lion would be a new set of clothes and boots for sure. Lol a trapper blooper video would be a hit

Never heard of one acting like that before. like someone else said, I've had them sit there growling not realizing they've been released and had to shoo them off but, never heard of one stalking a trapper after release.
Can't imagine releasing a mountain lion.
Eh...wot?

First one I had to release, I had a home made pole, a hog noose one, I put it on the Tom, he jumps around a little, I thought wait a minute, the other three legs are just as long as the one in the trap, and they have like one inch claws on them, I decided for some reason to cinch the loop tighter, he went limp right away, I let him out, camera running, I made the mistake of not moving him off to the side, he wakes up, snarled-growled, and stood his ground, he finally ran off when I threw my trowel at him. Another one I couldn't get to leave no matter what I tried, I ran my truck up hill towards him, I spun out about 10 ft below him, he finally got intimidated and took off
