Title: Idaho Cougar Hunt Success
Post by: JPhelps on April 03, 2024, 05:59:41 PM: This was a dream hunt for me. I’ve always loved watching dogs work and finally got a chance to be there when they pushed a big Tom up a tree but he wouldn’t stay there!!! This hunt got a little western and one I won’t soon forget.

Send me a message and we can talk. Out of respect for the outfitters and residents I try not to mention units.

Dirk is a great story teller ;)
We bumped the pack packing the cat up the hill and he was right below us. We yelled “pack” and he watched it roll by. LoL
