i know the area around Cougar, WA holds some cougars! 

Just couldn't pass that up.

mmmmmmmm which island has cougars of the feline type?

fidalgo had rumors of one stealing dogs in the past, dont know of any other island that would have them in WA State.

find an area with deer and elk frequent and put up a trail cam with some bait.

There's a wine bar down the street that seems to be at carrying capacity most of the time.

that one looks like a kitten, not old enough for cougardom.

check this thread out, twin lakes area in the past has had its share of feline cougars.

twin lakes is a real location on the north side of mt baker hwy, and yes all kidding aside i know people who have seen cougars in that area numerous times.

now if i could just remember what tree i tied them to.

is it posted at all... i mean can i just drive around... lol  i usually hunt DNR or military land... for deer and waterfowl.. never hunted cougar... i am going ro bring a 270, a 12 gauge, and a 357... maybe a little bit over kill but never be to safe

[Boss .300 winmag]

forest service federal land, ok to hunt.  dont know how good the road is this time of year. driving and cougar hunting will yield most likly nothing, and if you did see one it would soon be gone as it would hear you comming.

get your boots on and snowshoes this time of year. 

[irishevox]

yeah i plan to walk around.... i just don;t want to become the hunted... what do you think about setting up a blind and maybe throwing out some raw meat or a dead rabbit... about 100yds out?

im going here in duvall. my girlfriends friend has mass rabbits so im going to trap some and see what comes out. I think my 308 can take out a cat plus I carry a gp 100 327 fed mag for a side arm

Camano is has cougars.  Seen 3 with my own eyes.  Lost lake area where I grew up, they have a sign that goes up to notify people when there is a sighting in the area.

[cody29]

its a GP 100 327 fed mag. the sister gun of the GP100 357, 7shots. less kick and faster

[paytonma]

ive seen plenty of tracks up by heather meadows a little late now but before it gets to snowy you could go get em

calling would probably give you a better shot at getting one than just walking around Check out rainshadow's site for sound and an idea what works
