Title: This guy is no secret.
Post by: jackelope on August 31, 2014, 11:05:57 AM: Huh. I sent an email to the local wdfw biologist to see if I can get any of the rest of the story.

Post by: Limhangerslayer on August 31, 2014, 11:43:41 AM: Looks like the same place you had pictures of cats from last year. Camera just facing a little different direction

Post by: 270Flat on August 31, 2014, 11:54:38 AM: How about proximity of water in relation to your camera site. I have been impressed with the mix of animals you have gotten the last couple of years

Post by: jackelope on August 31, 2014, 12:25:56 PM: Water is 1/4 mile away. Small year round creek. Camera is in the same place as last year. It's aimed a little to the left inadvertently now. I've got 3 or 4 different cats on this camera again this year. One from last year got killed for sure, and maybe 2.

Post by: jackelope on August 31, 2014, 01:50:39 PM: That's the only pic I got of it. Had a couple shots of the rear end but that's it. 2 other sets of cat pics but not collared cats.

Post by: jackelope on August 31, 2014, 04:17:43 PM: I think we have a bit of a lion overpopulation problem. Ive definitely got 3 different cats on camera this year, and I think 4-5. I'm hoping we can notch a tag or 2 come October.

Post by: jackelope on September 01, 2014, 12:53:38 PM: Study started 5 years ago and cats were collared over a 4 year period. I was told most collars have died or fallen off by now.

Post by: kramer on September 01, 2014, 04:28:09 PM: If you get to talk to someone ask if it's part of the new study that started 2 winters ago in the snoqualmie area.

It's definitely not. This camera is about 250 miles east of Snoqualmie.
I talked to the bio. Information is in the post above yours.

Post by: BLUEBULLS on September 04, 2014, 07:51:32 AM: We have one on cam about 20-30 miles away. He has his ear tag in the opposite side. I believe all of these collared cats were caught in the same drainage.
