Just curious if any of our resident Taxidermist's got this job. Anyone get two cats dropped off this weekend?
Heard rumors and looking for the story.

A guy I work with was hunting up in capital forest I believe during late buck. He saw a guy that had two cougars in the back of his truck. Dont know how many guys were in the truck, but two cougars in the back pretty crazy. I will ask him more about it on monday.

Dont know for sure have not hunted up there. Thought he said something about rock candy or something. Not sure if that is even an area up there but thought that was what he said. I figure they should of bought a lottery ticket on the way home with that kind of luck.

The whole of the capital forest does contain cougar. I am surprised though if someone got into two in one day. After the snows, we go up to find track. Rock Candy is a mt top/ridge in the forest.

Well I heard the story from two different guys. One got it first hand and one got it second hand. Supposedly there were 4 or 5 cougars and the guy shot two of them, BUT it was not in the CF.

I too heard this, heard it was somewhere near the Skookumchuk river. Pretty good source of info i got it from. I did hear one guy shot both cougars, which is illegall; only in the sense that he shot both with only one tag eventhough we can harvest two a year, but that is after the first one is turned in....i'm sure they just had someone else tag it. I heard both cats popped up and he dropped both of them, then another one showed up and the guy hit it but didn't kill it...they tracked it but lost the trail. I did hear there were 4-5 total.
Cats are solitary, the only time you would come across that many together is with a family group. The mother and the rest are adult sized kittens (1-1.5 yrs) that have not dispersed yet. I have seen 4 together once and they were all big.

ive heard a lot of people talk about cougars down around the skook. ive never went hunting there, just fishing. i didnt even think about the whole family thing, it makes sense. that would be exciting to come across.

Not illegal if he purchased both tags. I usually purchase both bear tags before the season, but I really doubt many purchase two cougar tags ahead of time.
But other than that, you hit the nail on the head. That is the same story I heard, almost verbatim.

Oh i see, i didn't know you could buy the two tags, i thought it was only after you harvested one, but then again, why would the state regulate that. They could just make more money.
