[/QUOTE]A trail runner fought off and killed a mountain lion in self-defense in northern Colorado on Monday, state officials said.

The runner, who wasn't identified, was attacked on the West Ridge Trail at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space in Larimer County near Fort Collins, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, or CPW, said in a statement.

Authorities didn't say how the runner managed to kill the mountain lion, which they described as a "juvenile." They said the lion lunged at the runner, biting his face and wrist and causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Mountain Lion dies from feces related bacterial infection.

What the heck did that guy have if biting him could kill a Mountain Lion?

They said "juvenile", but an 80lb wild cat trying to eat you ain't no fun. Glad he was tough enough to come out on top.

"It’s unclear whether the runner — who has not yet been identified publicly — strangled or smothered the mountain lion. He had no weapons, so he killed the cat with his bare, bleeding hands after climbing on top of the animal, state wildlife officials said."

I heard Buck Medley was in the area.....

I sure hope he get that thing mounted ! That would make a heck of a conversation starter when people came over ! But I'm sure the State Wildlife Police will want to autopsy it to see what led it to attack the fella...
