That's pretty badass of the women. Using the bike to pin that big cat down in just the right spot must've taken some brass too. The thing would be hissing and freaking the fuck out trying to claw you while holding it down.
When your friends fight off a mountain lion, and then pin it down, that's how you know you have some good friends.
In the article I read one of them dropped a 25 pound rock on its head until she was exhausted. She’d almost given up when it finally started letting go. Before that they were stabbing with a small knife and kicking the shit out of it with tree branches and nothing was really working. They also tried choking it out but said it felt like it was made of iron. Scary shit.
No chance you're gonna choke a cougar, but i don't have a better suggestion haha. They're real beasts.
From what I've read the only way you're gonna choke something that big is if you jam your entire arm down their throat and pray you last long enough.

That's how this guy did it. My right wrist has been shitty since I broke it back in college. I've already decided if I ever am in this situation, this is my plan. Jam the ole shitty wrist down his throat. If I live n have to amputate it, that wrist won't be missed much. It only brought pain anyway.
I think there was one guy who did... a mountain lion, maybe? I'll have to find it again
