Christmas cougar

[WAcoyotehunter]

Caught a christmas cougar today over in ID.  We got one yesterday, but forgot the camera...so I only had a few lousy cell phone pictures.  My wife came today and made sure we were prepared!  Not a huge cat- but a nice female.  Probably around 100-110 lbs.  Left her to run some other time.

How hard is it to draw a hound permit n ID for cougar?  And do you have to draw the permit to run bobcats? Nice pics by the way.

Most (if not all of Idaho) is over the counter.

Not for the hound hunters permits, they only issue 70 non resident hound hunters permits.  I drew 2 in 10 years of trying.  Yes you need a hound hunters permit to chase anything with hounds in ID, lion, bear, bobcat and even coons.

Beautifull kitty....you could charge hunters to come along on hunts as a way to get in shape. I'll bet keeping up with those dogs and hoofing the hills is not for the weak of heart.

[WAcoyotehunter]

  yeah- i gave up on trying to keep up with them.  I still get plenty of walking in though! 

I'll be out quite a bit and will let you guys know how the season goes... so far it's been pretty good- 3 lions and 2 bobcats.

My mistake, I am used to studying resident info.

That's a nice looking kitty. What unit do you hunt in? A buddy had a dog killed by a wolf down by Clarkia a couple weeks ago. Have you seen any sign where your at?
