15. My close encounter with a mountain lion was when a mule deer came off the mountain siding

and there was a creek running along side the road, we heard ( my brother, cousins) heard this crashing sound and saw this female mule deer coming off the mountain siding that had young aspen trees growing along side the bank and the siding, and the leaves where just starting to turn, and the mule deer jumped into the creek and started running up the creek away from us and from behind was a puma chasing that mule deer.
This mountain lion raised up one paw (right side) and struck the back hind quarters of the deer knocking it down, the mule deer jumped up and started to run and then the mountain lion raised the other paw up ( left side) and struck the deer again knocking it down, the deer jump up one more time and took off running up the creek and then veered off up back up into the siding of the mountain being chased by the puma.
My brother looked at me and his cousins and the only thing I could think of was Merlin Perkins ........Wild Kingdom .........this happened in the Big Piney region of Wyoming in early fall and took about 20 seconds to develop and watch ................and to this day I can still see that occurrence of life and death being played out in real time ..............
I do not know if the deer survived but it was absolutely amazing..............
