If you poke them with a stick while they are eating they get mad.

I would try that only if I was very, very, fast

Actually I understand that mountain lions will back down when confronted directly or challenged in many cases, but probably not so much when it involves a kill. They are notorious blindside attackers.
I've hiked the area for years and never have had the pleasure of running into one, although I did come up on a relatively fresh kill a handful of times but it was probably coyote kills. This happened several times at the bottom of Rustic Canyon

it would have been funny if someone tied a string on the back of that bicycle before he rode away.
Yea, well several years ago I had one of these damn things on my back wall, looking into my yard probably looking for my dog. I called everyone. I called the fire dept, the Sheriff's Dept. and the State Game Dept. Got nothing but answering machines. So I next called my buddy who was a cop. I told him if that cat came back to my house there would be a VERY LOUD bang in the back yard. I asked him then what? Well all I will say was he gave me some good advice for Cali-Forn-Ya. The upshot was the cat never did come back.

You have to wonder what the authorities expect a person to do in a case like that. I once knew a guy who capped off about a half dozen rounds at a very large bird standing on one of his dead chickens. He had the flu and was running a fever of 102 F at the time and only manged to graze the damned thing's feathers and still it wouldn't budge. He thought the bird was a common hawk but later found out it was an immature bald eagle and was thankful he missed !

My friend's grandmother was Irish and moved to America in her elder years. She lived in California with her daughter and one day was cooking supper when she heard something on the back porch. She opened the back door and staring back at her was a mountain lion who let out an intimidating rawr. Now, this Irish granny had zero experience with mountain lions and she was 4 foot nothing and Irish so she promptly took the wooden spoon still in her hand from cooking and popped this deadly creature on the nose. The mountain lion looked a bit perplexed and then apparently this granny was not to be trifled with and skulked away. So perhaps the best deterrent against mountain lion attacks is an Irish granny!
