Love this game, glad I bought it. But theres nothing worse than roaming across the country side and all you hear a a cougars roar, and your horse and you go down. The graphical glitches in freeroam are pretty annoying, specially when trying to hunt for things.
BTW: how do you do the hunting quests in free roam?
*Edit - Not the challenge huntig quests, the ones where "waves of wolves or bears come at you".

" @Platypus: You have to complete the hunting challenges you currently have in order to unlock the ones that require you to kill waves of a certain animal. "
While this is true, it should be noted that you can go into those specific areas at any time to initiate the spawning of their associated animals in free roam.
My best cougar moment was when me and a friend were hunting deer and coyote. Off in the distance he sees a deer and starts yelling "over here man over here I got a deer in my sights!" I need one more deer kill for a challenge so I mosey over and start aiming but don't see it. We get in an "argument" about it and start having our characters stand face to face spewing random taunts at each other. After laughing we decide there isn't enough to hunt here because we haven't seen squat in like 5 minutes and we turn around and whistle for our horses. One roar, one swipe, and 3 seconds later my horse is dead, his is running, and we are both cat food.
The one time I survived the first hit, the mountain lion had teamed up with a pack of wolves and I was still on the ground when they finished me off.
Also, I have now lost three horses to cougar attacks.
" @Axxol: Thanks Axxol. I thought I was missing something. "No problem, I'm glad I could help
You think ninja-cougars are bad? Trying shooting a wild boar and then having his boar buddy knock you and your 100% loyal horse off a cliff, killing you both.
That wasn't even my first death though. My first death involved me trying to swim across a river I'd mistaken for a big creek. It was an embarrassing, but funny first time dying.
Also, fear the giant bear. All I'm saying.
i was planning a nice camping trip into the rockies. but now. fuck that. ill pass on the ninja bears.
The only horse iv lost so far was taken by a cougar. heard the grown and saw something brown in the bushes, fired, saw the blood spatter and was feeling all pleased with myself and then WHAM! hit me from behind. i got up and killed it then realised by horse wasnt getting up :( also the thing i shot in the bushes was a coyote.
On another note, how do you know how loyal your horse is to you and how does it change the horses behavior???
I had a couger earlier jump straight through my horse and kill it. Then it went on to kill me but I got my own back by killing 2 of those buggers.
I lost my Kentucky Saddler to a cougar. I think they're scary as hell. In many cases, there's virtually no time to react. If you've seen one, it may already be too late. Dead Eye is essential when dealing with cougars due to their incredible speed. And yes, they are capable of killing you in one strike.
It's too bad we didn't get to see Brad vs. cougar in the Quick Look; that could've had some serious comedic potential.
Cougars are 2-hit ninjas. 1st Hit knocks you down, second hit is the death blow. Iv found a pack of wolves easier.
" I am disappointed in this this thread. I was expecting sneaky, attractive older women. >:-( "win.
spartan grannies coming up next.
the 12 other websites in your browsers recent history just called me. they want you to visit more often.
Just had my first fuzzy kitten experience.
Hunting beavers for that Stranger mission with the glider, and I was hanging around the river to the Northwest of Blackwater. One attacked my horse (but fucked up the attack and ran under my horse), so I shot it in the face. Thought it was a bobcat until I skinned it. I notice another, so I shot it in the face too. Then I run back to my horse, and about halfway another one hits me and sends me rolling. Got back up, Dead Eye and shot it four times in the head to make sure.
If the first one didn't screw up and managed to kill my horse, I'd probably have fallen off the cliff I was near and into the water to drown.
And I still need one more damned Beaver.
Thinking for the later quests in hunting (single player) to just try out grabbing a loose carriage, either stealing it or waiting to encounter a team near a stalled carriage to ambush people. Thinking that at least I can stand on top of the carriage to stay alive a little longer as I'm tired of dodging one large cat or bear only to find that they are suprisingly roaming in a pack.
I hate walking through the southwestern country side, and some random 50 year old women pounces on top of me. What a weirdo.
cougars DEFINITELY 1 hit kill in free roam. Did the hunting mission last night where you need to survive waves of them, did the wolves and boars first try each, spend a half hour getting mauled by cougars. (I ran in circles with a shotgun 1 shotting them all but they're too fast and there's too many, also dead eye works different online) finally found a rock where they couldn't quite reach me and finished them off easy. Also tried hiding in the tanners cabin but shooting out from inside buildings is a massive pain. Then nailed the bears in one go as well....
cougars are by far the toughest. and more so in free roam...
When the hear the Cougars comin' that's when you know it's time to pull out the twelve gauge and shoot da bitch in the face.
Interestingly enough this piece of advice has served me well in real life as well.
I started the Attack on Fort Mercer Mission, came out of the cut scene for a second while the sound of a cougar attacking could be heard and then screen came up saying one of the deputies died and you have to restart. lol
