Snoqualmie Tree Farm Cougar ideas?

Thanks for sharing the update. I've been wondering if you were able to go after it and if so, how it went.
Unfortunately this is how most cougar stands go....quiet. Even though there's an abundance of cougars in the state, they are sly creatures.
If you are monitoring a deer-dense area, I suspect you will see more cougar activity.
Do you have a cell camera that sends you current photos? or do you only get to see photos when you drive up there and check the camera?

Regular cameras with a group of folks that aren't on this website checking them daily

Ok. nice. That's similar to what I've done for a few years around my property.
I recently got a TACTACAM cell camera. It's REALLY nice having it send the photos straight to my phone. I get the photo on my phone usually within 1 minute. I avoided cell cams for a long time because I was worried they were too expensive and cell plans were expensive....
I paid $99 for a X2.0 camera. $50 for the tactacam SD card and Lithium battery pack for it. And $120 for a 1 year service subscription that gives me unlimited photos. (You can pay about $50 per year for 250 photos per month (about 8 per day)). So all together, after tax, I paid about $290. I'm loving it and I plan to get a couple more soon.

Don't give up hope. I finally met my son's best friends Dad the other day at a Soccer practice and learned that not only is he a hunter, but he also has several cams in the tree farm. He estimated he sees 3 cats for every deer on his cams. I hunt 460 too, so do us all a favor and get one. 8)

Hang shiny tape on the trees near you up high in the trees, this will get there attention to draw one in close. Use in conjunction with the rest of your setup. Just remove the reflective shiny tape after you kill it, don’t want to give your spot away.
