You can bait cougars.
But the problem trying to bait cougar out of the winter season is that you'll end up with other animals, probably bear eating your bait.

This makes it sound like any intentional feeding to attract them or other "Large carnivores" as it says isn't legal, doesn't specify like the RCW for Negligent feeding where it has to cause a public safety risk or potential one, it just says they can't be feed to attract them to any land or building?
Would really suck to be out there, thinking you are good to go and get nailed....
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=77.15.792 (http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=77.15.792)
RCW 77.15.792

(2) A person who intentionally feeds, attempts to feed, or attracts large wild carnivores to land or a building is guilty of a misdemeanor.
(3) A person who is issued an infraction under RCW 77.15.790 for negligently feeding, attempting to feed, or attracting large wild carnivores to land or a building, and who fails to contain, move, or remove the food, food waste, or other substance within twenty-four hours of being issued the infraction, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Is there another RCW or WAC that covers feeding them and allowing for hunting purposes? Would be good to have that information just in case.

My question is, what do use for bait? I was thinking a live mini-goat??
Birds, anything with feathers

I have treed multiple cats, but you have to stay on them. It isn't for the faint of heart, and really it requires some snow or frost. Cats aren't the easiest thing to track(no snow or even with snow sometimes), and you need to stay in motion to catch them. Pay attention,( its easy to get focused on the ground when pushing that hard and tracking) its really hard on the heart when you walk underneath one that has doubledback on her track and she bails out of the tree right behind you.

Beaver is really good. Befriend a trapper that isn't interested in the carcasses at all. Goodluck though, as they will use it for other stuff.What other uses is there for beaver's besides pelts? Me and the girl are gonna get into trapping at the end of this year.

Some folks eat the tail and the carcus meat is supposed to be very flavorful and rich tasting.
Post by: Smossy on August 25, 2013, 10:28:04 AM
The castor glands are sellable for and can be used to attract other beaver, the oil sacks as well. Most places/people that buy pelts will buy these as well.Interesting. I know a few places where beavers are abundant to. Ill probably start there and let the trees have a chance to re-grow. They do so much fricken damage....

Just in case you didnt know beavers can only be trapped. Dont go out and start shooting them.

I raise domestic rabbits for meat. I sell them for $2 per pound live weight. You could check craiglists for meat rabbit breeders in your area. Hides heads feet and guts would probably make a great bait pile. I also have unlimited rabbit urine and manure. :chuckle:So would you use meat to bait in animals like beaver? Doesn't sound right to me. I could understand predators like cats.
Every predator like rabbit.
Or is that what you were talking about?

I was suggesting rabbit as an alternative to beaver if you could not find any.
