Wes, Jeff, and Mike sit down to cover another real life wild animal attack, this one involving a young woman on a nice, innocent little hike and a mountain lion who has other, hungrier ideas. Wes, unexpectedly, digs into the relationship drama aspect of this story, while Jeff outs himself as a prolific mountain lion spotter. Mike wonders whether an emergency air-lift helicopter ride is a fair trade-off for not buying an expensive can of bear spray. Thanks for listening!

This week, Wes, Jeff, and Mike recount and discuss the tale of an alligator attack that took place down in a Texas Bayou back in 2015. The story involves Tommie Woodward, a young man beloved in his community, and an 11 foot alligator that took exception to Tommie's late night swim in Bukart's Marina. Wes, as always, shares his knowledge on how best to deal with or hopefully avoid altogether an alligator attack. Jeff, on the other hand, has more unconventional ideas on how to fight back. Mike needs counseling. Thanks so much for listening! Help us out by leaving a positive review and subscribing to the show so you never miss an episode.

This week, Wes has two stories to share, each uncovering the dangers black bears pose to the unprepared. Thankfully he and Jeff have extensive experience dealing with them, and are able to share their knowledge on how to avoid an attack, or if you do end up having an encounter with one, how to fight back. Mike's ideas are a little more unorthodox and are thus discounted out of hand.   If you have a second or two to spare, please rate this episode and subscribe to the  podcast.

On Christmas day in 2007, the Amur Tiger Tatiana leapt from her enclosure at the San Francisco Zoo and attacked 3 young friends. Wes talks Jeff and Mike through the chaos, which ended very poorly for almost everyone involved. We then discuss whether Thomas Hobbes qualifies as a tiger, Wes admits he is "not a big Winnie the Pooh guy," and if an Amur tiger would win in a fight against the focus of our previous episode, the grizzly bear.  Please, if you have a moment, rate this episode and subscribe to the podcast.
