What in turn does the state do with these? Bucklucky

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Nice job saving a herd of deer. Beautiful cat!

very niiice, and glad to hear the state was fast in allowing you to do what you needed to, bummer they took it. thats a healthy looking cat!
~  ~One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an *censored*."”

Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.

I wasn't going to call the state and take care of it myself but figured I'd do it right and see what the answer would be. Pleasantly surprised when the state gave me permission, on the spot, without a lot of questions of my motives.

I told the game officer that I had a cougar tag in my pocket for this year as I have done for 20 years previous. He said no cougar, no skull, no hint of personal gain; fair enough, I did get some good pictures.

The officer said after recording some information about the cat they generally reintroduce it to nature, translation, dump it in the woods somewhere... GPS coordinates would be nice!

Never thought about compensation, probably won't ask, figured it's part of life in this part of the country.

Thanks for all of the comments, definitely an experience I'll remember, hopefully the cat was a loner - time will tell.

The officer told me the same thing, I guess 2 cats from the same farm, that is why I'm keeping a closer eye - May have to pick up another game cam for monitoring.

You did the right thing. It would've been nice if they'd let you keep it. Rules is rules.
