Wolves don't get hit either! Maybe more of both than we are being told. Or wdfw really is clueless.

I took my cougar pelt with everything attached to get sealed in olymia and they couldt figure out if it was male or female. So im voting for both.

I saw a dead cougar in late April just off of Miles-Creston Road at the top of the hill north of Hawk Creek (Lincoln County).  I assumed it was hit by a car, but it was kind of decomposing so it was hard to tell if someone shot it and dumped it or if it was roadkill.

Saw a dead cougar up past Cougar, WA a few years back.  Then saw another hit just east of Hamilton.  I just think they last two long along the side of the road.  They get loaded up into a rig pretty quickly.
Cut em!

Years ago in Redmond, where Redmond Ridge apt. Complex from hell is now. I witnessed a guy on a Harley Davidson nail a cougar going about 70. Neither fared well , cat was obviously dead and the biker was in seriously bad shape. Will never forget that
The deer are exactly where you find them, and no where you dont!

In Maine, one of the factors they use to determine the population of moose is the number of road kills they have in a given area (at least they used to use that info). I would surmise that if there are an increasing number of cougar road kills, that might lead us to make a certain assumption about their population growth.  :dunno:

I've seen and heard of numerous cats hit along the roads in NE WA, never hit one myself yet.
