Post by: BLKBEARKLR on June 02, 2009, 11:54:49 AM: Yep by the time you get around to cougar season he should have only eaten approx 15-20 deer in your area, that is a good tradeoff. Circle of life.

:chuckle:

Of course by the time hunting season rolls around the cougar that has eaten most of the deer will have gotten eaten by a pack of wolves , so now where does the circle of life end? Thats right , its a circle , it doesnt end. :chuckle:

Post by: mossback91 on June 02, 2009, 12:12:24 PM: By the size of the tracks it looks big enough to eat you woods

Post by: bucklucky on June 02, 2009, 12:21:30 PM: Thats what happened to my deer area, no deer now :'( And I havent even killed a lion yet :cryriver: :chuckle:

Post by: backwoods_boy on June 02, 2009, 12:22:43 PM: well thats hunting i guess
Title: Re: how big might this cat be.....
Post by: javman on June 02, 2009, 05:55:45 PM: +1 What they said!

While it would be cool to get some pics of a cougar, I don't want any of them running around where I hunt, cuz that means the deer and elk will be dropping on a weekly basis. ;)

Post by: backwoods_boy on June 02, 2009, 06:05:54 PM: yeah well this isnt really the area i will be concentrating on this year anyway.
