On the East Coast there are Coyotes and Bobcats. Both have attacked deer, pets and children.
Out west, cougars/lions attack unarmed cyclists.
They say it is rare, but with growing unregulated populations, is it rare?
If your attacked, it’s not rare is it!
See the lion attack below.
If you walk in today’s New Hampshire woods with family and kids, I’d carry a sidearm! Bobcats attack the face and neck in less than a second biting the windpipe.
However, biologists want folks to take note that these attacks are rare.
Again, if your attacked, it’s not rare, is it.
I believe Turkey hunters calling are at risk, thinking they are turkeys. Two years ago my turkey hunting friend was attacked in Fremont, NH. May is turkey season.
If you are attacked, don’t run…defend yourself. Predator’s like to attack from behind.
Hunt and Hike Smart.
Be Prepared!
