@beterarcher Archery would fall under the " hard" category ;)

For some folks. ;)
Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it - not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.

Spotting a Mtn lion on a bike trail isn't something you make up...
I once saw a fox at a camp near Lake Pleasant with another camp counselor, who immediately claimed that it was a mountain lion to the other campers before I could explain that it was a fox, so there are people out there who make things up or see things differently. People used to not believe me when I told them all the animals I saw on my hikes, so I started photographing them to prove them wrong. Before that, I was not into photography and never took photos.

I'd be more concerned about a fox than a lion, if it were hanging too close. There are too many rabid foxes about. More people are exposed to rabies than are attacked by mountain lions.

But then we factor in rabid mountain lions. Two that I know of by Sheep Bridge. One jumped a kid on a quad and luckily he was wearing a helmet. Then my favorite a camper whacks one with a skillet. I've found myself wearing a sidearm more the last couple of years, especially after my wife pointed out how useful it is at the bottom of the pack.
