@bearpaw The head is being beetled now, we rough taped him at 15 7/16, but it's tough with some of the flesh and stuff, I think it will still hold 15+ after drying
@30.06 Thanks, I hope to do some deer/bear hunting up around Bonaparte after a few scouting trips
@MtnMuley You're right about the spelling, was trying to been PC on the Washington website, HaHa. I've just started to read the regs, you can't dog cougar? we dog them here in Utah. I think it would be tough to get a cat without dogs, Spot and Stalk????

No, I was hunting with Jim Wiens of Vaseux Creek Outfitters. BTW, do you use dogs on your cat hunts? If not, then how?
We use dogs in Idaho and Utah. But I have caught hundreds of cats in WA when we could still use dogs there. I have cougar hunted in 5 states but still think WA has the best cougar hunting of any of those states.
In WA you currently you need to call them, find a kill, or walk them out. They do issue a few special tags to hound owners only if there are a lot of problems in the area.
Like carp said, a lot of guys stumble on them.

No blood cause we cleaned him up for pictures and most of it he lost on the 20 yard run after he fell out of the tree. Has anyone ever called in a cougar? What calls would work? Sounds scary to call one from the ground.
Cougars can be called in. More then a few guys get lucky and call them in each year.

wheres the blood??? with all the snow I dont see any blood????who cares where the blood is? whats that got to do with anything? that is one hell of a cat, congrats, this old man that taught me how to hunt with hounds when i was a youngster got one that weighed 202 pounds, i treed one when i first started huntn with hounds on my own that my dad and i figured would have went between 180 and 200, but we couldnt kill it because we didnt have a permit, the biggest one i killed was 137lbs and anather one that was 100lbs, come to think about it they werent bloody either
