Title: Score for muzzy cougar
Post by: WSU on October 17, 2018, 02:23:52 PM: Does anyone know the rules for muzzy cougars? My friend had an old book and it looked like there is a different category and the scores were quite a bit lower. Can someone post up the Washington scores?

Select Washington

then black powder

But where's the pictures?

Pictures aren't mine to share, but the taxi thought it would score somewhere around 14.5-15. Best guess was 14.5 to 14.75.

Slight thread derail, but interesting to see that big cats come form all over the state.

Awesome! Part of my curiosity is whether it is a big cat in general. I don’t know if it sixth muzzy because nobody has muzzy killed cougars score and nobody shoots any, or if it’s sixth because it’s really big. I know very little about cougars.

Well here you go, rifle cats aren’t much bigger.😉

Post by: MtnMuley on June 10, 2019, 10:36:12 PM: Guys gotta remember, these are the only ones entered. Nearly every houndsman I know has never entered any skull into a record book. I have an archery lion that would easily challenge the record, but don't feel the need in any way to enter it into a book. Especially since I used hounds to kill it. :twocents:
