Ran into a mountain lion today in the Monongahela National Forest around the Bartow area of WV. Pretty freaky encounter. I could see it stalking me off in the distance, immediately started backtracking slowly while facing it. Probably kept sight of it on and off for a good 20-30min. Apparently these things aren't supposed to be on the east coast but some manage to wonder this far over according to the forest ranger I talked to once I got back to my truck. Might see on the news about them capturing it in the next week or so here as he said they will have to post the area and start to try to trap it.
