Man fights off mountain lion with chain saw

Dustin Britton, an ex-Marine from Windsor, Colorado, fought off a starving mountain lion that attacked him while he was camping in the Shoshone National Forest 27 miles west of Cody. Wyoming.

When the lion pounced, the ex-Marine raised the chainsaw he’d been using to cut brush and inflicted a six- to eight-inch gash on the 100 pound lion’s shoulder.

Britton received a small puncture wound on his forearm.
