Same rumor for the NW part of the Blues
It never changes, but it is always different.

I find it hard to believe every unit hasn’t gone over there quota all ready. unless people just aren’t getting cats sealed. My region goes at least 3x over the quota by the end of December. Are all the fish and game killed problem cats not counted? That alone would tip over our quota.

Every year I hear that they don't count, but I believe they do.


All cougars killed by licensed hunters during the early and late hunting seasons, and seasons authorized under WAC 220-440-030 shall be counted toward the harvest guideline.

Every single one would be every single year.  Depredation removals do not count.

I didn't end up going out,  sat up all night hacking up my lungs. 

I think I had something come in last friday, but I got in a coughing fit and busted .    but I can't confirm I didn't go up looking at tracks after coughing during a stand

Aw the dreaded cough. Ruined many of hunts for me
https://www.howlforwildlife.org/take_action  It takes 10 seconds and it’s free. To easy to make an excuse not to make your voice heard!!!!!!

The commission shall attempt to maximize the public recreational game fishing and hunting opportunities of all citizens, including juvenile, disabled, and senior citizens.

So your positive.

Go to this link

https://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/regulations/big-game/cougar

Then it says

All cougars killed by licensed hunters during the early and late hunting seasons, and seasons authorized under WAC 220-440-030 shall be counted toward the harvest guideline.

Then this link will show that wac 220-440-030
Are problem cougars removed.

https://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=220-440-030

When the WDFW gives a hound permit,or property owner depredation permits its pretty much giving them a season authorized under wac 220-440-030 for cougar safety removal that counts towards quota believe it or not.

Yes im positive.  You dont have to believe me if you dont want to.  And i get the impression youre grossly underestimating the number of depredation removals going on if you think theyre counting them toward the harvest quotas.  Maybe they can but theyre currently not doing so.

There are a lot more than quota numbers killed by depredation hunts
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
