The quota for the GMUs that make up the whole Blue Mt. area added together = 10 to 12 cats.
The total taken as of 12.26.18 was 28. Most of these were taken during deer season while hunters were hunting deer..not specifically hunting cats. Only 1 of the 28 was taken while hunting predators.

Cougar season will end in much of E. Wash Monday evening.

I will hold my elation until after the 1/3/19 and they do an updated quota. :sry: If it is a true count I'll bet KF hunter would be one of the happiest folks on here. :chuckle:

They dont have to wait a week. They LOVE closing units down. I think it was last year they updated twice in 1 day because somebody reported a cat after first update. They absolutely would update and shutdown 121 / 105 tomorrow if the quota is met. So anybody going out calling in the next 2 days, do it in one of the units that is already set to close on the 1st.
