Post by: Fl0und3rz on September 25, 2019, 12:39:25 PM: That would be fun. I like snow hunting the best. Never targeted cougars, though.

Post by: KFhunter on September 28, 2019, 10:15:47 AM: Wonder how many guys are stranded on backroads that didn't pack a chainsaw?

Trees dropping like flies

Holy tree across the road, pack a saw, heavy snow morning lol.

Post by: Tracker0721 on September 28, 2019, 10:25:46 AM: Got back from elk hunting yesterday and once the trucks unloaded we’re going up to cut tracks. My dad had one at his place at 4:30 am so we’ll start there. Bear or cougar really.

Post by: Tracker0721 on September 28, 2019, 04:56:50 PM: Literally hundreds of trees down on our path we took. Cut 20-30 and drove under/over countless. Deer, cow, and coyote tracks is all we found. Coyotes didn’t come in either but I also put on a orange vest because I was wearing a brown carhart soooo yeah.

The date is wrong on cam ,it was taken at the beginning of this month.About 5000 ft elevation.
I would head up there but gotta work on weekends and more people up there.Maybe mid week right after snow melts.

Post by: HillHound on September 28, 2019, 08:12:14 PM: I have had a cougar on a couple of my cameras on my property three out of the last five days. Two have been at dark and one was right about sunrise. I plan to head up there in the morning to try to cut tracks in the snow but if not I think I’m going to try to call it in. Any suggestions on what type of call I should use if anyone has been successful calling cougars in before. I have Called bears and coyotes in but never a cougar.

There's a bit of reading you can do about it on my website... rain-shadow.com Look for the Cougar Call-in Story Page.
