When attacked by a mountain lion
hit back. He'll never see it coming.
When attacked by a black bear, play dead.
When attacked by a grizzly bear, mace it.
I feel that if we apply the mountain lion logic universally, we should, technically, hit the bear back as well. It's not like the bears will expect it and the mountain lion won't, right? Let me know if you ever test out my theory.

It's a better idea to avoid testing these theories.
Here are tips I've tested at Keystone Colorado and on Mount Rainier in Washington.
1. Don't walk your dog in the mountains, for mountain lions like to eat small animals.
2. The same goes for small children. Be very vigilant when you are with small children because they are attractive prey.
3. Don’t go hiking early in the morning when the animals haven’t been scared off by noise from people/cars.
4. Sing or whistle while you hike to scare off bears and the like.
5. Stay alert. Predators will pick up on you zoning out, and use some sort of jedi mind trick to sneak up on you when you’re not paying attention.
I don’t know why a bear would be afraid of hikers, but supposedly bear attacks occur because hikers sneak up on bears and startle them. If they hear you coming, they will most likely leave.
I did test these tips, and while I did see many tracks, I never saw any large predators, even when miles into the forest.
