A Colorado man says he’s lucky to be alive after an encounter this week with a mountain lion.
Dylan Ross took to social media after shooting and killing the animal to share his account of what happened. Ross says he was hunting for deer on Sunday when he stumbled upon the mountain lion.
In a little more than 24 hours, the video has been viewed more than 33,000 times.
According to Ross’s account, he came within just steps of the mountain lion before drawing his rifle and shooting and killing the animal.
Ross went on to say that he continued his hunt after the encounter and ended up shooting a buck.
