Sorry man, this thing just decided to make the woods behind us home. I didn't find anything.
-

-
Nope. Figured the place would be crawling with HW members.

Come on out. The area is huge. Can support 3 hunters at once easy I think
-
you guys have 3-5 days before i get over there and kill that cat :IBCOOL:
-
OK, this cat has to go. I found tracks in my back yard today. Kids are on lockdown.
-
be by this weekend. ill still look it up. do you know the gmu off hand?
-
GMU is 633
Here's the PM I have been sending out. Public knowledge now. Gotta get this thing out of here.
It's been there at least a month and I don't think it's going anywhere if someone doesn't shoot it.
Timberlakes Community Club, west of town off of Agate Rd. off of Hwy 3.

Park at the red dot. Follow the green line until you get to the circle. He/she has been spotted here all this week and as far back as a month ago. I don't know how to cougar hunt. I tried once and didn't see anything. There are coyotes running crazy in there too. hear at least 6 every night yipping and howling. They were next door last night. WAY too close but I never saw them. Timberlakes is the housing development but, where you park and walk into is all Green Diamond land. Use google maps to get a better view of the area in the satelite view. Let me know what you see. If you bag him, you have to bring him by my house so my kids can see. I live about 2 blocks from where you'd park.

right on. hopefully ill have a cougar to show off this weekend
-
Just bring it by my house first. Call me if you bag him 360-545-3678. You'll have to leave your name because it's a call screen, just say "I got the cougar"
-
Very cool. I would like to add something, if its ok with u. if people can't drive over west side from east wa. You guys should check liberty orchard, palisades. Just 35 miles from soap lake. Where i grew up whole my life. Deer population got crash. It pissed me off. But Lots cougars for you as boothunter. Hope it can help you all. :) I used to have 15 bucks 4x4 with 50 does in our apple orchard before dark every day. Not same anymore. Now only 5 does or 2x2 or few. Not good sign. Lots pravite land. But ask them for access. They definely will let u hunt cougar.

he was in my back yard again last night. saw his ass this time. by the time i had my rifle loaded and back out on the deck, he was long gone. i went down there this morning and saw clear signs of a kill. fur everywhere, and a drag mark off into the trees with blood spatter all over it. another local deer gone. hope somebody pops him this weekend.
-
YES! good to hear he is on kills still in the area. be there in the am!
-
Ya
probably you and 20 of your closest friends
-
HU?
-
...expect company :chuckle:
Good luck guys, sounds like this things gotta go
-

Yep. This is the type of info that you keep under your hat and only give to the right person with the right tools. I can just see (and hear) the cacophony and chaos.
-
this guy is lying. there is no cat. no sign around. its not legal hunting land. i looked into it for all you.

If you hear me out there using distress and cat calls, I'm experimenting calling in yotes with cougar calls added into my distress calls. see how it goes

Not sure if you are serious or not, but I have an idea that using cougar vocals might discourage the dogs.
-
lol. No, but i will be down there before first light calling for that damm cat, i hope me being out there first will detour a crowd of guys down there calling sounding like a vet torture area, really hope it doesn't end up sounding like a mini Guantanamo Bay.
-
Good luck to ya.
I hope someone gets lucky, but I would place my money on an educated cat.
-
Im actually thinking not. being so close to a community in a rather small area my bet is its a younge male that got pushed out of his area by a large older male. Then again im not the most veteran hunter.
-
It is only going to take one person to screw up the set up or use the wrong sound at the wrong time.

agreed. If it's a problem near a community it needs to be taken care of but not educated by the wrong person trying to bag an easy cat.
-
Someone should see if rainshadow can pop down that way and sweet talk that cat into the crosshairs...

Welll........let me tell ya...
I was gonna give him a holler to go with me and bobcat until I found out I wasn't the only one given the map. If he wouldn't have been able to make it, we were still gonna run his vocals.
-
his calls are awesome. have them for my cs24
-
well i was heading over in the morning....but it looks like i will be beat to the punch. maybe i will go hit the areas around matlock where i found alot of fresh kills recently.
-
is this going to be a Shotgun start or do you have to wait for the party in ahead of you to clear out :chuckle:
-
Lets say CementFinisher gets tomorrow, Someone else can claim Sunday.
BTKR, I am PM'ing you another spot near by that I saw sign at today.

I wish you would have PM'd me. I live in Timberlakes and have hiked back there quite a bit. Lots of predator calling experience, too.
I guess I will have to go in there and kill that cat after everyone else fails.
Good luck everybody! I'm kidding and I really hope somebody gets some trigger time...
-
IS THIS THING NOT DEAD YET? 10 guys have said they were gonna go after it. has anyone actually gone? damn...if nobody gets out over the weekend i may have to actually drive across town on during the week. unless someone with experience wants to have a go. sounds like nobody has tried yet? :dunno:
-
Did you not see that CementFinisher was planning on hunting there this morning? (and who knows how many others)
-
:chuckle: :chuckle:
-
lol...yea but everybody has been claiming that spot for a week. :chuckle:
-
CementFinisher was there this morning. He was the only one. No cat dead. Said he saw tracks too though. Had a return call from a coyote but a local guy walking through spooked him off.

A return call from a coyote?
Was he using coyote vocals on a cougar stand?

i gotta a good cat dog, i mean..... i can could try calling one in lol

:sas: lol no, started yipping during a 3 or so minute distress call, thought it was odd. You have to cross allot of open ground think it would be hard to not get busted. allot of people hiking. allot of deer sign. I about caused my self to soil my shorts when i thought i had clicked on rainshadows RS Cougar Whistles ER09 but had accidentally selected foxpro cougar in heat, heart bout tore out of my chest. Never seen any sign of a kill. Seen big cat tracks in some clay, didn't look real old. btk or anyone else that calls allot, if you go done there please post how you went about entering and setting your stand.
-
Officer Tim Ripp, lives back in that area, he hunts so you might want to give him a call if you know him.
-
Nope. Don't know him
-
Whats the latest? :dunno:
-
Seriously Im on the edge of my seat!!!!
-
Actually its likely it is really bigfoot....I mean if it was a real animal it would be dead and we'd have proof of its existence :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
Or bigfoot's pet kittty......"another myth un-confirmed"
-
well we all know it is the "governor" running around in those woods. :P
-
Or its like Lobo the wolf who ran rampid for a decade.............
-
Sounds to me like a frickin cluster you know what
A boat ramp on derby day
I have a called in and killed a cougar in Jefferson county , they just don;t pop up in a clearcut and say shoot me.
Get back in the thicker stuff, find some lanes, call and protect your back.
-
what ever happened with this cat??

:yeah: I was thinking the same thing???????

Still out there eating deer would be my guess.

This. Was in my yard again last night. I saw the tail slip into the woods when I went out for a smoke. I go outside with my .45 everytime now.
-
From what i understand it would be very odd for a cat to be in this area for so long even with a plentiful food supply

Not necessarily odd, but maybe it is not even a cougar? Maybe a big house cat?

There is plenty of food around. At last count, Timberlakes CC held a herd of deer more than 50 strong. This didn't even count the deer that lived in the timberland north of here, where the cougar has been frequenting.
And I have seen it. It's not huge, I guess, having no other reference, but it is not a house cat or a dog.

I doubt it's a tom. Most likely feeding the litter. Especially if as it sounds to be a smaller cat from this thread. She has to hang around.
A cat "relocator" I know said the tom's are always looking to make a litter and they can't do that hanging around.
-
Sounds like you need a cuddy cam. get us some pics 8)

Well, seems as though it is all over. Got word last night that the Sheriff is bringing out 2 relocation traps today.
-
Well sit at the traps and :bfg:
-
well what happened? did the sheriffs get the bugger in thier traps? we need the rest of the story to put this to bed.
-
I'm surprised the county sheriff would take on this responsibility. Seems more like a job for the WDFW. ???
-
i agree but last post by doublej stated that the sheriff was bringing a couple of relocation traps. this has been like a movie that you missed the last couple of minuites of & you just have to know the ending. or it will haunt you.
-
Yes I did read where he said the sheriff was dealing with it, but just seemed odd to me. :dunno: I'm curious with what happened also but I doubt we'll ever hear anything more.
-
I doubt we will either.
-
I haven't seen the cat or signs of him/her in a week. Even with the fresh snow, there were no tracks in my yard like there had been. Sheriff won't comment but 2 traps are missing from their trap yard on John's Prairie road. They normally have 5 there and last I saw there were 3. It's anyones guess as to the outcome :dunno:
-
Release it in the SW corner. Still holding a tag in the house here ;):chuckle:
