Coonhunter, you have to call the hotline each day before you go hunting and they tell you how many females and total lions are left.

Billythekidrock  it can be confusing and your right it is our responsibilitiy.  I once almost shot a huge muley buck, but couldn't quite make out the third tine.  His size was massive and I was positive it would have been there had I shot in the low light, but didn't.  Got home and checked the regs and realized mulies had closed two days prior.  I would have been in deep shinola!!

Yea it's a sad situation all around, now there's a beautiful animal that won't be displayed properly as well.  I'll find out the details and let everyone know what I find out.
My understanding is the one currently displayed at the Vancouver F&W office was aquired under similar circumstances :chuckle:

I think it usually depends on whether or not the G&F boys have somewhere to put a mount for display or not, but I do believe mosty of the animals you'll see posted up at a G&F display will be confiscated game.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Well I spoke to the guy whole told me about this and he said the warden did not get into the specifics, other then the cat was taken without dogs and he got the impression the fella that shot it thought the season was still open.  I talked to another fella last night who had some outstanding trail camera pics of a lion and bobcat and wanted to know if I could come up and help him kill it.  He was also under the impression the season was open till 15 Mar.  He was suprised to find out it was only open to permit holders with dogs.

I don't hunt for cats in those five counties on foot, but was unaware that during the hound season you only can use hounds.  Kinda of a crazy law IMO.  I think it is a great stroke of business to implement hounds back into the system and should probably add several counties to the already five.  I guess are you guys saying that if I want to go call in cats in one of the five counties I can't????  Just curious.

That is correct WACATHUNTER, I believe it is because of the quota.  We have to call each day and find out if the harvest is still open.  That is not required in any other unit.

I guess, I don't understand why they make it open only to houndsmen, anyone can check the quota, Correct???  I am all for giving the houndsmen a season especially with what it take to train, feed, raise, etc.  Do they think general cat hunters will have that much of an impact???
