cougars all together

[buckhorn2]

A couple of years ago we had something happen that I have;nt heard of before. My grandson had shot at a bear and came home to get his dad and I to go with him to see if he hit it. We looked for the bear but he had missed it. On the way out of the woods my boy said look at the cougars. There were five cougars about 150 yards below us. We shot one and another one ran and sat on it and we shot that one and one more. When we went to the game department to have them tagged the warden said he had never heard of it either. One was about 125 pounds and 4 years old and the female was 100 and 6 years old and a small one that was 2. He thought maybe the female was in heat but did;nt know why they would all be together like that. We had two made into rugs and the little one full sized and reaching for a wood duck.

Very Cool, We saw 2 cougers run across the road in the daylight this year.
One of the guys at Bob's Sports store here in Longview has a cam shot of 3 cougars in one shot.

Sounds like a once in a lifetime experiences. Awesome mount, looks like you have a nice "man" room going there too

They were from the north river 658 unit I it was the only time I have seen there. I had a really nice 150 pound one from the clearwater unit when it was legal to use dogs and I drew a permit for the area and some friends had hounds but I let my boy hang it at his house while we did some sheet rocking and he lost it in a divorce. It still makes me mad.

That even makes me mad.   I bet she didn't even care about the cat but just took it so your boy couldn't have it.

I have tried to get it back but it;s on her dads wall now and he does;nt even hunt. It was a special thing there were three of us with permits and the other two had already went out in the ocean to crab when we got a call they had a big cat treed and needed someone with a permit. The cat had been in the tree over 6 hours and they had the dogs under the tree. We got a couple more friends and there kids and made the 2 hour drive to the clearewater then hicked about a mile up a little stream to the tree. The cat was about 30 feet up in a big fir tree over a steep drop off into a creek.. I had neven seen one before and it was beautiful it looked like it owned the woods. When I shot it jumped out of the tree and over the bank and I ran to the edge to see and they let the dogs go and the next thing I was rolling down the hill and slid right into the spot where the cat had stopped. The dogs were fighting and barking and my feet were on the cat boy I was scrambling to get out of that mess. Those dogs when they get excited bite everything in sight and with me right in the middle of it. It was something to remember so I sure wish I could find a way to get it back.
