Mountain lion down
« on: December 21, 2018, 05:22:16 PM »
Was out predator hunting couple days ago and got lucky and came across this one. Cat is 6 1/2 feet and in the 120-130 lb range. We never weighed it so it could be a little heavier

If it was up to me - anyone who harvests a cat would get a free deer and free elk tag for any unit for the following year. And anyone who harvests a wolf would get $1,000.00 and a free deer and a free elk tag for any unit for the following year.

I'm all for giving out points or tags for doing a little predator control. Turn in 1 cougar, 2 coyotes and 1 bear = entiat tag.

I like the Earn a Buck/Bull idea.  Bring back bounties!

Really nice cat and great photos.  Since you were out calling coyotes, I'm curious what caliber/bullet did you use on him and how it performed.

That cat is beautiful, well done and thank you!
I am curious, what do most people do with their cats? Full taxi? Skull only? Anything creative with claws/paws? Pelt? I'd love to get a cat one-day (any day really, no rush) and am looking for ideas.

I am getting a full mount and the skull euro mount. It just depends on the person I guess weather or not the mount it or not. Good luck on your cat quest  :tup:
