VIDEO: Incredible close encounter with mountain lion in BC captured on video

When a cougar decided to stalk a man on Vancouver Island, he pulled out a camera and captured the close encounter.

The terrifying yet incredible encounter was shared on YouTube and has brought in thousands of views over the last couple days.

The YouTube account, She Hunts Productions, says the encounter occurred on March 1, just north of Campbell River.

“Adam was out shed hunting and setting up trail cameras and he looked over and saw a cougar staring at him,” the description states. “The tom cougar was scared off three times and returned without fear.”

The cougar was 15 metres away at one point, and the man estimated that it was probably around 140 lbs.

They added that the cougar was definitely interested in eating Adam, but the big cat was not harmed in any way.
