Cougar Hound Hunts in WA

[Machias]

You should try a Leopard Cur once....naw you better not you'd end up having to sell your hounds.   

[bobcat]

One thing people need to keep in mind before applying for a permit, is that you need to be in fairly good condition so that you can follow the hounds when they're on a track.

Bearpaw or some of the other hound guys on here, maybe you should explain a bit about how much work is involved in hunting cats with dogs.

Oh- just ask anyone over in the city- you just drive around till you see a track, turn loose, eat a sandwhich and stroll on over to the tree to see the cat.   

Yeah right!!  It's a LOT of work and a LOT of walking/snowshoeing in crappy, thick, sometimes miserable conditions.  There are times when you trun loose and the dogs go the wrong way on the track- or they loose scent, or the trash off (hard to admit...but it happens  ) Often you lose track of the dogs and have to spend time finding them or tracking them down... It is quite a thrill when you see a lion in a tree, but they rarely come easy.

So are you guys taking guys in to any of the hound hunting units, or only specific units?

Just like Blacktail hunting. Just like Bear hunting on the wetside.

Don't cha know that all the city livin hunters do two laps around Green Lake every day to stay in shape?

  other thing brand new collar as GPS new stuff would cut u half of hiking and find a tree where cat are more less than old fashional style. It cost me 600 dollar for gps with collar plus extra collar cost 200.00 each dogs. Amazing thing I can hunt with out anyone help me. I can't hear my dogs barking or way up far. I could always find my dogs and bring them home safe. I thank Gps. Now why its unfair when I spend so expesnive stuff just for me to make it work for me.
Geez..

I have not drawn yet and was about to give up on the whole hound deal, but watching bearpaws video rejuvinated me again. I miss hunting my dogs every weekend or day off I had. Hope me or the wife draws, Im not even sure my dogs are up too it anymore   

[Houndhunter]

this really sucks, it screws any small time houndhunter like me big time. guides and others well known who will do it for free may get to go hunting, but it blows my chances and most outa the water of getting to run lion in wa

what a complete waste

  BEEN There before,

To tell u people one thing... Two years ago on Permittee tag that invited me over and I never feel those moment after I found this track above 1.5 miles  UPPER HILL deeply HILL from road and finally found those track and I look inside OH F7%K Wolves are right behind my dogs where our dogs treed above about 2 another miles bad terrian area. It hit around 6pm getting dark. We didnt carry any Guns.   We were totally BUMMERED and we all agreed to back out Totally Deep snow about two half feet snow. Bonnie end up DIED other day by Wolves.  Blue went back down to road with bloody Damage face and Ear totally TEARED took them to vet right away. It was not FUNNY.
Maybe need buy Half Pitbull cross Half plott breed Maybe 15 of them!  

Here this picture a Example u need to make sure Wolves arent in this track following your dogs for dinner.    My picture were a WOLVES on this track following toward to our hounds for a DINNER!
