@jackelope I'm trying to reply with more pictures, but the page seems to freeze every time. I tried resizing, but that didn't fix the issue.
The file may be too big if you are posting multiples per post. They are oftly big as well, I know you mentioned you resized them.
Great pics by the way

What qre you resizing them to? Resize to 800 resolution and it should work

The first bear looks pretty decent. Id shoot it august 1st if i got the chance. Hell, id shoot the dink august 1st, plenty of time to get a bigger one after. no need to be choosy with bear #1 now that we can take a second bear!
My thoughts exactly!

That cougar was at the water a little over an hour after the moose cow/calf were there on 6/5. Any more recent pics of the calf?
:DOH:
6/5 was the last time I had the cow or calf on camera. I sure hope they both show up again when I go back to check it in a couple weeks.

Nice, I wish more bull moose were there.
I only have the two little guys that frequently come by cameras. The bull on page 2, and this one.

Looks like you need to adjust the camera on your last pics or move the block over some. But nice pics

Oh now you did it. You just got this big buck killed. Why did you have to go and say where. Oh no you didn't go there. This place is ruined. That buck will be hunted down by every hunter that sees this post. Your banned.

Sadly that poor calf probably won't make it to hunting season, he will end up in small brown piles scattered across the hills. I've kept track of cow moose we see when hunting in the fall, the greater majority do not have a calf by the time fall hunting begins.

Try snowmobiling Calispel peak or anywhere up there to 49 degrees, its sickening
That's one of the units damaged the most, last moose hunt there we saw 9 cows, only 1 calf! :bash:
Numerous packs of wolves and many singles too! I remember all the wolf supporters on this forum saying there wouldn't be much impact! What a crock, it's exactly like many of us argued it would end up!!

There's probably a good thread on it somewhere (but I couldn't find it with a quick search), but is there any (relatively) easy way to target cats? I feel like it should be just like bears (find their food source) but the problem with cats is that their food source happens to always be moving and hiding. Especially on the wet side of the mountains where I spend most of my hunting time. Any hints other than going out right after it snows to look for tracks and/or checking the WDFW cougar sightings updates? I'd love to get some cougar meat to experiment with and save some ungulates...
These are the options that I know of to use in Washington:
- Accidentally stumble upon one
- Find tracks and walk them down
- Look for ravens, watch a deer kill
- Use a predator call
- Bait them

Thanks. I've heard that watching kills and baiting don't actually work because cats are too fastidious about eating fresh meat and won't partake of sloppy seconds. I have no idea if that is true or not, but it's what I've heard. As for calling, I've tried that numerous times and haven't had any luck, but that's almost certainly down to user error on my part. Who knows, maybe it worked every time and the cougars just didn't feel like eating me after watching me for a while. :) But on one of those many tries, I did talk to two older gentlemen (a few years ago they were probably in their late 60's) who did share a little pearl of wisdom. They said in the past 20 years, they had between the two of them taken a dozen big cats and a fair number of bobcats using a mountain beaver call near steap-banked creaks on the wet side of the state. They didn't strike me as BS-ers...
