Cougar Tactics
« on: December 24, 2008, 08:32:05 PM »
How do you hunt cougar?  Do you just hope you get lucky and see one, or call them in, or follow sets of tracks?  I do not know anything on this subject.  Any tips would be sweet.
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

It's legal in washington and highly recommended to bait cougars with anit-hunter, tree huggin', hippies.  It works good too!

I normally drive the roads in FRESH snow until I cut some tracks and then on goes the snowshoes and go track em down. Not as easy as it sounds. Bait what do you bait cougar with?
