Cougar confrontation.(Exercising The Right)
Humans are rarely attacked by mountain lions in California. People have been injured by the cats in only 14 incidents since 1890, though six confrontations resulted in human deaths. For a few harrowing moments on April 6, 14-year-old Andy White of Napa Valley, and 17-year-old Hendrick Smeding of St. Helena, feared that they might become the next statistics to be added to that list.
Shortly after 5:30 a.m. that morning, the two friends were hunting turkeys on a remote hillside not far from the home of White's grandparents in northwest Napa County. White was armed with a .20-gauge shotgun; Smeding had a bow. As the teens approached an area where several turkeys were perched in trees, something spooked the birds and they flew off. White recounted to the April 8 Napa Valley Register: "I turned around, and there it was--just about three feet from my face--a real mountain lion. It was just looking at me. Then, it took a swipe at me with its paw. I froze. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do."
