How to Survive Wild Animal Attacks
Outdoor Life survival expert Rich Johnson on how to best avoid becoming lunch.
 In the warm and fuzzy world of some folks, wild animals all have big moist brown eyes, cute noses, and a cuddly personality. But that doesn’t exactly square with reality. Take, for example, the incident involving Mark Reynolds, a 35-year-old guy who went out for a mountain bike ride in California in January 2004, and was later found dead and partly eaten by a cougar (mountain lion). Nothing warm and fuzzy about it. Of course, the warm and fuzzy crowd will claim that was an anomaly. Well, try telling that to the family of the 41-year-old Arkansas woman who was killed in her own front yard by a cougar in May 2003. Or the incident in Colorado in 1999 when a 3-year-old boy went missing and was later found to have been dragged away and killed by a cougar. I could go on and on. The list is really pretty long. And that’s just cougars. What about bears, or moose, or bison, or coyotes, or …? Let’s pause momentarily for a dose of wildlife reality. There are lots of wild animals that will attack a human, sometimes with fatal results. It does no good to play the denial game. The only good thing we can do is learn the truth and then figure out what to do if we are ever in a violent confrontation with a wild animal. Before getting into specifics, let me say that the best way to avoid problems with wildlife is to use common sense. Be aware of what’s around you, what kind of animals you are likely to encounter, and the danger they pose. Avoidance is the best defense. Keep your distance, and take steps to prevent attracting wildlife into your camp. This includes:
Even after you do all that, be prepared for whatever might happen. In my book, part of being prepared is carrying defensive “tools” that can range from firearms, to a substantial knife, to a club, to deterrents such as pepper spray, to whatever you can lay your hands on as you fight for your life. And there are other techniques that can be used to discourage an up-close-and-personal encounter. We’ll talk about these as we go along.

I definitely prefer the firearm method over the primitive spear if I have to put out a confrontation.
A frined shot a moose in the antler and stunned it long enough to move away from the attack.
Otherwise, don't be prey, carry a gun.
I took my grandson hiking in an area that had both black bear and grizzly. Before going I instructed him on some of the safety measures such as making noise as we hiked and also wearing small bells and carrying pepper spray. Along the trail I found some bear scat and I pointed it out to him. "Is it from a grizzly?" he ask. Taking a stick I spread it out showing him the berries and grass and explained it was probably from a black bear. " What does grizzly scat contain?" he asked. "Well it usually contains small bells and smells like pepper spray" was my answer. We moved on cautiously.
Ive had too darn many close calls with moose over the years.
I tried shouting at a cougar but it didn't go away. Maybe it was the falsetto. finally barked like the doberman after the mailman and it ran off.
It is important to go into the Wild as prepared as the wildlife you may encounter. Use the techniques listed to avoid confrontation. If they do not work become more violent than your adversary. I carry a short barreled 12 gage pump. I have never used it, however it is comforting to know it's there.
I think Land Cruiser, should HIT THE DAM ANIMAL. If you try, it is not going to do a bit of good. That sucker can come around back and get a real close look at you. I do not want to go hiking/hunting with you..
My 2 cents.
I have had both wolves and cats stalk me while bow hunting and if they wanted to get me, they would have. But, they would have had one hell of a fight on their hands. You don't have claws and teeth so you got to fight with the tools you have which should always include a side arm and a knife. Also, if you bow hunt you have to be ready to use the arrow like a lance on a charging bear or any other predator. There have been stories of bow hunters defending themselves in such a way. The point is to survive to get them before they get you.
My wife of 34 years has quit asking me why i insist on carrying my old yellow handle case knife with me anywhere i go ,Habit wallet, pocketknife,bandana and usually my leatherman unless i'm going to the courthouse.
I always pack a sidearm when I'm out because you never know.
I feel pretty careful with my 30-06 but I would recommend that anyone who wants to be in the deep woods, get a concealed weapons permit and at least carry a handgun.
I live in NJ. We have given our right to carry awayyears ago. At the ballot box. To top that off we had a governor who thought bears are cute.So he canceled the hunt. He doesn't live in a bear area ofcourse. We can use bear spray and prayer. Let this be a lesson to all of you. Know who you are voting for.
Here in Alabama we can openly carry a pistol without a permit, we have a open carry law, as long as it is a registered firearm.When in the woods always have something,and usually in the backyard there is a rifle leaned up against a tree.
sorry chalet, I should have given the whole story. hard to hit an animal 25yds away. only had a knife and hatchet strapped to my packboard as I was on my way to recover an elk. I don't want to get in a fist fight with a cougar. I now pack a sidearm. Always. I still hope you wouldn't want to hunt with me anyhow.
I am an outdoor photographer. I don't want to carry a rifle, but am thinking about a handgun to protect against, cougars, black bear, grizzly, etc. I have considered The Judge, a .44 mag, .45 Colt, a .454, a .460, an S&W .50 mag. and a .50 Desert Eagle. I want the smallest gun that can take down any of the above animals in one shot at close range (If I am attacked) I was wondering if any of you had any advice?
I use a 44 mag with Buffalo Bore ammo this is the bear minimum you should consider with grizz on the list.

My personal preference when out in territory which may come under dispute between me and critters is to carry a handgun. I believe the only sensible caliber is one that starts with a 4 and has a case length of at least and inch and a quarter.I suppose a .41 magnum meets that bill, but i like to double up on the numbers so my .44 is what I like. I hope I never have to use it against a bear, but where I hunt, my biggest threat would be a cougar.
