Thread: bad a**

This may be a first...
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 on the cat's part.

The guy 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, then 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 four pictures.










Happy Trails to You!

Must have been a Missouri mule, they're known to be pretty ornery.

WOW! Way cool story, i have a new respect for mules.

The story has apparently been around a while, and is supposedly "urban legend" and false. http://urbanlegends.about.com/librar...tain_lion2.htm
Good story, though.

thats a good one. They must be related to the Zebra. I heard there are more human deaths caused in a zoo by Zebras the any other animal.

cool story,
one dumb lion or very bad ass mule.lol

Mules can be pretty ornery. I was hunting with a group in Wyoming years ago and this mule I was riding just dind't like me for some reason and turned around and bit me in the leg. Still have the scar to show for it.

A single cat would not attack a single mule with any chance of winning--If the mile was hurt or sick the cat might have a chance----It would take at least 3 cats to get a single mule---

If 3 or 4 cats got a single mule trapped in like a barn stall-----I would feel sorry for the cats---a mule has much more strength and stamima that cats and they are quick to kick or bite anything
