This is my second rediculous mountain lion post in a month, but the tale is too good not to share. When a rabid mountain lion attacked Brandon Arnold’s 90 lb. dog, he grabbed the first thing he saw- a cast iron frying pan. He said it “was like a cartoon, he hit him twice, the lion got stiff and fell over“. Another funny quote from Arnold is, “”It was the adrenaline, I’m not a badass or anything.” The lion tested positive for rabies on Monday. So is this another story that’s too hard to believe? His friend shot it ‘after the fact’ to make sure it was dead. Crazy excuse for poaching or legit tale?
IS THIS THE FACE OF A LIAR?

This guy looks like a redneck psyco, I believe him
Was it a frying pan, or a banjo…..
He has a face of a liar. Bug-eyed desert rat.
”It was the adrenaline, I’m not a badass or anything.” Clearly this dude is a badass… story teller.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a rabid mountain lion running around. Sorry it had to be killed though.
I didn’t know that Chuck Norris lived in Arizona.
Are there any pictures of the cat?
lying? were considering whether or not this guy lied? does someone think he went out poaching and just happened to find a rabid mountain lion? this dude is the man.
The redneck’s story is that he killed it with a frying pan but it wound up with bullet holes in it. Raises some eyebrows
I believe it all the way. I almost always take a gun camping but that doesn’t mean that I have it with me at all times, and I wouldn’t run to go get it while my dog was being eaten. I would shoot it for sure after though because I’m not about to check its pulse and I don’t want it waking up.
I met the father of friends of ours who is a trapper in Nevada on the California border near Tahoe. Among the normal rodents and pests that he kills for ranchers, he also traps and (legally) kills mountain lions for the State of Nevada.
The relationship to this story is this. The traps he uses just traps the lions, it does not kill them. He works the traps all day and upon finding a trapped mountain lion, he dispatches it by first knocking it out with something akin to a police billy club, followed (get this) by a swift kick to its chest.
The knock in the nose with the club (or pan, as it were) knocks the lion out. The kick to the chest is what actually kills the lion, killing it by doing something to its heart that causes a swift death, without as much as a single bullet being shot. So know this, if you get caught up by a rabid or hungry mountain lion or bear, knock it in the nose as hard as you can and kick it like the Karate Kid in the chest – WIN!
That is great info, thanks for sharing this
He looks like a deer in headlights.
