good to hear that everyone is working together! but what i dont understand is that if cougars are doing so much harm why dont they re-expand the cougar season?

Good Question.....WDFW has expanded a little in northeastern Washington, however I think there are too many bunny huggers in western washington, hence Seattle metro single handily passing the anti hound hunting initiative.  I wish wildlife managers could manage wildlife for the benefit of the species on not get caught up in managing public perception by the non-hunting, non-license buying public.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

I like the idea of not shooting doe's for a while. I have noticed the numbers dropping around my house for the last 10 years. I think it has a lot to do with yotes and cougars being on the rise and getting a lot of them. ( I don't know much about Yote calling but I think it would be fun) I think my local doe had twins like she did 2 years but I never saw them, but I saw her a lot, she ate most of my vegi garden. And 4 years ago I had 3 different bucks all summer long but none sense.

How nice of them (tribes) to stop shooting the women and children for awhile.  >:(

I guess you forgot that the state was hunting doe's as well.  Guess you didn't pick out that it was the tribal research that led to the state closing doe hunting in those units as well.

We don't get to hunt does or any big game animal year round.

I used to have a few nice bucks that visited my backyard regularly, but found out that neighbors don't feel the same way I do, they get shot as soon as MF season opens, so now I see a couple does and yearlings, kind of making me re-think my attitude about leaving them alone in my yard.

I agree.  I can't understand why they allow archery hunters to shoot does with a general season tag.  And WDFW also has MF and ML doe permits in many of the blacktail units.  Makes no sense to me......

Speaking of yotes........I was out ML hunting last night and saw a yote chasing a deer across a hillside.  The yote was about 100 yards behind, but keeping right up with the deer.  Pissed me off to see that yote out there........guess I'm going to have to go coyote hunting.  Also, I've seen more bears this year while scouting for deer and hunting deer than I've ever seen......they must be taking a toll on the BT population. 

We even saw a fawn hoof in some coyote crap a couple weeks ago......... :bash:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

I'm probobally going to take a verbal beating for this but......I see no reason at all to shoot a doe. I figure the more of them...the more Bucks in the future for us all. Only reason would be a severe over population or disease. Just my take.
