Title: Cougars!
Post by: Elkslayer on November 04, 2009, 06:06:12 PM: So the regs say you cannot shoot spotted kittens or a female with spotted kittens. Im not interested in the kittens but would take the female. Would you guys say these kittens are spotted or not!

Pretty iffy on the spotted question. I don't think in the field that a person would be able to determine that they were spotted.

Post by: Bigfoot on November 06, 2009, 12:40:15 AM: 1 deer/elk per week = 52 deer/elk per year x 3 = 156 deer/elk per year. Wait a week for the blotches to fall off, then get two of your buddies and hunt them sumbitches down. :hunter:

Post by: Cylvertip on November 06, 2009, 08:13:52 AM: They may eat (1) deer or elk per week, but how many do they kill??? A friend of mine found (3) dead deer under one tree - Lincoln Creek area I believe. Guess who was sitting 20 feet up guarding them. He thought the Tom might still be hungry so he fed him a lead supplement...... :chuckle:

I see spots unfortunately though :bash: :bash: :bash:
