debate at the lunch table
« on: September 20, 2012, 03:01:16 PM »
today at the lunch table someone asked if we had the shot on a cougar and wolf, at the same time and could only take one, which would we take?
now i know wolves mess with the dear and elk population real bad and understand the situation. but i cant help wanting to take the cougar as a trophy then trying for the moving shot on the wolf (knowing that i would most likely miss). so my question is what would the guys on hunting-washington.com do?

I'd take the cat because wolves aren't legal to shoot yet, and I'd like to try eating the cat but wouldn't eat wolf. :twocents:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

The couple I have seen down in the southeast have been huge apparently all the wheatfield fed deer are great for growing huge wolves.  I wonder how long it will be until they come up with a way to measure a trophy wolf.

when it does happen and we can whack the piss outta wolves i am sure they will score them like cats and bears with skull measurements, atleast i assume thats how they would score it....

If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

I'd wait for the cat to kill the wolf, then shoot the cat.

Funny Pianoman that reminds me of a story I just read in Bugle magazine about how the wolf biologists who track down the collars of wolves who were transmitting no life signals finding quite a few were taken down by cougars.  Those cats are amazing predators.

I am pretty sure SCI takes wolf entries, you score them like any other skull.
