Title: Wolf or Cougar?
Post by: jordanramos_79 on August 31, 2011, 03:28:14 PM: Just curious but would you rather hunt wolf or cougar? Which method and why?

Post by: Curly on August 31, 2011, 03:31:19 PM: Cougar. Because I would eat the meat and I'd love to watch the dogs work and do their stuff.

Wolf, I won't eat the meat, so I'd rather not hunt them. I'd love to be able to shoot one though if it came by while I'm out deer or elk hunting. :twocents:

Post by: Kain on August 31, 2011, 06:42:49 PM: Cougar. No other animal in WA is as cool as a cougar in my opinion. I would be just as excited just to call one in as killing one.

Post by: Curly on August 31, 2011, 07:02:42 PM: Cougar are also so elusive. I've hunted WA state for almost 40 years now and only seen 1 cougar. I've seen a few wolves. There are far more cougars than wolves, but yet I've seen more wolves. :o For me it would just be more rewarding and a better trophy to have a cougar. A full size cougar mount would look really cool in the house, but I just can't say that about a wolf for some reason............

Post by: twistiron on August 31, 2011, 10:01:52 PM: Cougar with hounds!!!! Love that noise. Although I think it would be very satisfying to put a hole through a wolf that I saw chasing game, for that matter any wolf.

Post by: fair-chase on August 31, 2011, 10:08:35 PM: Cougar hands down. Would love to finally put one down that I called in. I botched a couple of good opportunities and now it's getting personal. :chuckle:

Post by: jackmaster on September 01, 2011, 06:58:13 AM: i would have to pick the wolf becuase like others i have whacked some cats, and i havent ever even seen a wolf in the wild, but i also wouldnt eat it and i have never eatn cougar meat either, it sure would be nice to hear dogs workn a cougar and then start treeing, no better sound in the world that a pack of hounds trailing a cat and then switching to their treeing bark... LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Post by: predator guy on September 04, 2011, 09:49:14 PM: As eager as I am to get a lion, I would have to say a WOLF, before they put them back on "The list". A must for me in 2012

Yeah, cougar hands down. Instead of trying to call them in just get a good dawg! They're real good at running down cougars. :chuckle:

Post by: johnnyaustin44 on September 04, 2011, 10:43:58 PM: Cougar for sure. with dogs preferably but a dead kitty is a dead kitty
Title: Re: Wolf or Cougar?
Post by: 7.62Warbird on September 06, 2011, 08:11:12 AM: Both please. No limit aswell. Though I doubt my gf would like it much as I would never be home with all the critters to shoot!

:yeah:

Is a wolf tag good for an entire wolf pack? :chuckle: I want wolves dead to protect deer & elk. I'd far rather have a cougar mount, though.

The wackos get plenty pissed off when they see a dead cougar too...... ;)

Post by: raghorn69 on September 07, 2011, 10:45:56 AM: Cougar with out a doubt, Why because they are
magnificent
. I would love to hunt them with dogs, but would take it any way I could get it. I have only seen Cougars 2 times in all my time in the woods. But for sure many more of them have seen me! :chuckle:

Post by: GoldTip on September 07, 2011, 12:22:25 PM: Cougar, with dogs. Would love to kill a big old Tom.
Title: Re: Wolf or Cougar?
Post by: Grazer on September 15, 2011, 01:27:06 PM: Cougar first and then a pack of wolves to back up the cougar. Wolves do not need to be getting anymore plentiful in this state.
