Cougar Trifecta!
« on: April 05, 2024, 01:44:52 PM »
To say our predator population is out of control is truly an understatement! This past couple of months I’ve successfully called in and harvested with my boys  3 mature cats. All 3 were taken within 1 mile of each other. Even after taking these ones out I still have 3 different mature cats and 2 juveniles on camera in the same area.


75lb female taken on Feb 9th, biologist estimate her to be 4yrs old.


135lb Tom taken Feb 23rd, estimated to be 5-6yrs old.

95lb female taken March 26th, estimated to be 4-5yrs old.

ES figured out an area and went after them!

This is the yet-to-be-written textbook!

Imagine the surviving 2024 ungulates in that spot compared to what could have been... Cats kill everything, then starve. Takes 20-30 years, but that's the cycle. (Wolves kill and move on, which is worse.)

Way    To    Go   !!!

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