I've been following this thread way too closely...I had a dream Rainier got one of those cougars!
I appreciate the support.

Had a coyote on camera today. Cats have moved on.
Dang!  :bash: :bash: :bash:

There all weekend. Came home last night.

Pic from this morning.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

I really hope the commission is following this thread and sees how hard it is to kill one of these cats. They are always one step ahead.

Those are smaller yearling. If Rainier10 keeps his feeding program going this summer they will be decent cats this fall. P.S keep them on the hill I don’t need them down at the ranch lol

I always like cougar pics for some reason.
Still a few days left here in April,if your GMU is open.
Thanks for sharing pics.
I still need to try for one at least once before April ends.
Slap the fox pro out ,see if it pops up.

Good luck.

This is my last weekend to get one. I haven’t put scraps out there for weeks. Hoping to get a shot this weekend so I can how big they are.
