A local old guy story. No, it wasn’t me. But it ain’t very damn far from here. 
“A mountain lion reportedly attacked a 47-year-old man Sunday at his residence on County Road 24 west of Lebanon in Montezuma County, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
About 6:30 p.m., Michael D. Warren sustained several puncture wounds to his lower right leg from a reported mountain lion attack, according to a CPW news release from public information officer John Livingston.
CPW was trying to locate the mountain lion as of Thursday morning.
“This is an ongoing investigation,” said CPW District Wildlife Manager Matt Sturdevant. “We are still looking into it, and want to make sure we get the right offending lion. Any help from the surrounding area and the public would be helpful.”
A live trap was set to capture the lion. If captured, the lion would be euthanized because it injured a human, Livingston said.
Warren said he was in his home when he heard a thud on his front porch, and his dogs inside the house began barking aggressively. He believed his domestic cats might be fighting on the porch, so he went outside to investigate.
Warren said he opened the door to his porch and placed his right leg in the opened door while he tried to keep his dogs inside the house. Shortly after he placed his leg between the open door and the porch, he felt something grab his leg. He looked and said he saw a mountain lion run away. Security camera footage later confirmed his mountain lion sighting.”

That’s pretty cool. The guy is lucky to have that camera footage to prove his wild encounter.
