Okanogan Cougar
« on: February 25, 2012, 10:51:42 AM »
Here's a cougar that I harvested in the Okanogan Valley, while is was BC, I could see into Molsen from the ridge I was on. Passed up 9 cats, 3 pretty good tracks to find this one. Gives me hope when I'm ready to hunt for a Washington cougar, I'll find a good one.

Thank you guys, he is a great cat. Over 8 feet long nose to tail and weighed in at 181 pounds. We had a tough time packing him out whole from the bottom of the canyon!

Huge! I've only seen cats like that in my dreams. Good luck in 204/209 this fall. Bonaparte is a nice area to hunt.
