It is illegal to kill spotted kittens or cougars accompanied by spotted kittens. That cougar is off limits for a while until the little one grows up
What spotted kitten?

Looks like a female with last years kitten, no law against shooting a collared cat, but shooting a big tom would be one worth mounting, a friend shot a big male that was collared a few years ago that had a collar and tag attached stating don't consume the meat as it had just been collared.I shot a collared/ear tagged Cow Elk a few years ago. WDFW has an online system where you punch in the tag number, and it tells you when it was tagged and the "safe to eat" date. Like was mentioned, it needs a certain amount of time to work out of their system.

If it's not safe to eat do you get another tag?Not sure. My cow was past the date so it was safe to eat.

ANY spots, on the underside and insides of the legs would count to make a subadult cat illegal.

It's only a memory at this point. Someone took a page out of Hillary's play book and deleted it. Not even the Federal Bureau of cover ups could resurrect it.

FWIW on topic, some young adult cougars still have small or faint spots on the inside of upper legs long after they are on their own away from the mother. You might notice them on a treed cat but not likely on a called one. Anybody know how the game dept. rules on such animals?
Post by: DOUBLELUNG on July 25, 2016, 08:56:21 AM
This is a bobcat.There are two elements top consider: spotted and kitten. A kitten is significantly smaller than an adult. The guidance in the pamphlet (usually <80lbs) is awfully conservative, as that weight overlaps with adult female weight too. I have sealed quite a few cougars when I worked for WDFW, and there was never an issue of trying to discern faint residual spots; they are frequently present on individuals up to 2 years of age. I have only seen one citation issued for taking a kitten (in Wyoming) - that cat was approximately 3 months old, less than 4' nose to tail, had distinct dark spots and a skull the size of a baseball.

FWIW on weights, my son killed a 6 year old healthy female in western WA that weighed 88 lbs. and a friend in Canada killed an emaciated female on Vancouver Island that weighed 60 lbs. Not sure of its age but it was an adult with no spots.
