A few years ago we were staying in a hotel in Port Hardy and a young lion, a few blocks away, grabbed a woman by the leg after she got out of her car under her carport. My good buddying in Port Alice's retired foreman friend was on his evening constitutional walk and a lion attacked him from behind and the cat literally tore his face off. He was able to get out his Buck 110 and killed the cat but not before the cat ripped him up. I don't go anyplace up there without a knife since they won't let me carry a .45.
