I've seen so many cats in 460 the last few years, it's crazy.

No shot opportunities, they all happened too quick or I was in the truck. 3 cougars and several bobcats in the last 6 or so years. One of the cougars I crossed paths with on a logging road in the pouring rain just before dark hiking back to my truck. 10 yards away :yike: and it looked as surprised as I was.

Sounds like some predator hunts need to take place. In your hunting grounds.

Definitely needs alot of predator control. It's just so thick. Calling could get a little squirly with the cats there, you know, if you're worried about that sort of thing. Ha.bob cats or cougars?Lots of Cats keeping the deer numbers low in that GMU.

About 3 years ago I had 5 different lions on 1 trail camera in SE WA over a roughly 2.5 month period of time. Granted 2 of those 5 were kittens.

Curious to know how the real cat #'s compare over here versus over on the east side.

did you ever drive the area in a fresh snow? Snow tells on everyone and everything.

No I haven't. I know there's lots of bobcats running around. Just more curious if folks thought there were more lions over here than over there.

I've never been on east side predator hunting. I've always stayed on the west. I would say there is probably equal amount of cougars on either side. Our side just holds more brush. So they don't get seen very often. I've cut numerous tracks in the snow. Not always the same cat either. ( tracks going in same direction) but once it crosses back over then it's hard to tell. Find a fresh enough track and you can't keep this guy in the truck. But it gives a guy an idea on the area they range. Unless it's just a traveling Tom. Bobcats down here come in pockets. Some areas are you couldn't buy a cat. Then some you gotta switch them off the road with a stick. Either way they need to be thinned out and I try like heck to be able to punch that tag every year.
