Thanks everyone..

there may be a light at the end of the tunnel on F&G...I guess the issue is its hunting season and they are swamped.

They finally gave me what I wanted...written (email) documentation that I have attempted to comply with the sealing process and they were unable to meet their own requirements.

I leave for two weeks (during prime time..what a freakin amatuer move :bash:) and will get the cat sealed then!

as for all the great hunter comments...  please dont!

Next year will start my 5 years of not one dead animal streak and you will all seem very foolish! ;)

Its a lot of luck and a LOT of time in the woods!!!  hell...  with enough time in the woods ya gotta bump into something here and there!

My elk this year....skill
My oregon bow buck this year...skill

my cougar...idiots luck...no skill at all!

Id rather be lucky than good...thanks for the comments!

Dave, you should be good with freezing your hide then removing it prior to having it sealed.  To bad Washington isnt like Idaho and has places you can take the hide to get the molar pulled and flesh sample taken and sealed.  Can you imagine being a out of state hunter and having to wait around for the WDFG to seal the hide before taking it home.

Great Cat!!!!

But come on tell us the real truth about having to go home and changing clothes!  If I shot a cat that was charging and it was 12 yards.....  I would be going home to change my clothes because the would be filled with chit!!!!!
