I have zero proof of this but fuck it

>go camping first time ever with a good m8 of mine
>live in mid MO
>we hike out to a spot he knew as kid with his dad, takes like half the day
>nice little river, good for fishing
>we smoke, cook our fish, and watch some movies with my projector
>we secured our food in a hang bag near the tent
>hear a weird fucking noise in the distance, like a yowl or someshit
>m8 gets spooked, I laugh it off and tell him it's just a bobcat or something
>later in the evening
>hear a bunch of scraping whatever the fuck
>buddy hops out the tent to see what the hell is going on
>he pretty much freezes
>I take a peek
>a mother fucking goddamn mountain lion
>it's eyeing buddy, low growl kinda thing
>don't have a gun or anything
>last thing I expected to see was a mountain lion so I dunno the procedures to deal with it
>all I know is buddy is frozen looking at it, it's still making a growlish sound
>fuck it this is gonna end bad anyways, might as well TRY to not have it kill us or us kill it.
>jump out of tent, draw bowieknife
>yell at the thing
>it yowls at me but doesn't come forward
>keep yelling
>fucking fuckiy fuck this thing is gonna kill me
>it finally steps back a step
>then it turns and runs
>we gtfo in the morning and watch our ass on the way back

and that's the story of me challenging a mountain lion to a knife fight, also we really are unlucky fucks, the odds of seeing one in our region are astronomical. Made sure to contact local department to let them know the big fucker was running around.
