Probably the best tag that I have ever drawn. I have walked down a handful of cougars on snowshoes - got a hound permit finally - I LOVE cat hunting and this will be the first time that I get to run them with dogs. Only problem, is that I don't have hounds. I live in Ellensburg so I live close to Chelan County, but I need to hook up with a dog owner that wants to run a cat. Anyone interested?
If you do not own your own dogs you CANNOT APPLY FOR THIS HUNT. It takes some wishy washy proof that you own your own dogs that are capable of tracking and treeing a lion, I know alot of people are cheating on thier apps and getting around this it pisses me off, I wish the WDFW would make spot check of every applicant. Almost everyone in the state who legitimatedly owns lion dogs should be able to draw one of these tags. If you own hounds and are approached by people that don't and they want you to catch one for them, don't do it you are cutting your own throat!

Your just supposed to feed and train and equip your dogs so everyone else can tree and kill a lion over your dogs.

Actually you had to sign a form and send it back in and then you got the educational packet, your log book, the hound handler's cards and your vehicle placard. But I have to agree with you. If you showed the judge your permit issued by the state saying you could use hounds, I don't think they have a legal leg to stand on. How do they know you got the call or the follow up permit?? You didn't sign for it.

Anyone interested?Man do I agree with you on this. It just ticks me off to hear about a person putting in for a great tag wether it be deer elk sheep and so on. Just to find out that they do not even have a clue about what they are doing let alone going to do when they get the tag!!! I don't think a person without hounds should be able to take up space in this draw. Also about walking down a hand full of cats on foot any hounds man knows that this is a bit stretched. Your best bet to get some help would be to not try and talk youself up to much because if this is true you don't even need dogs.. sorry if this upsets some guys .I would hope that a guy would secure a pack of dogs before he put in for a special permit.I don't have a problem with anyone running dogs for you. But isn't it a little arrogant to put in for a permit without the means to successfully hunt.
