Friend of a friend lives on the east side and he likes keeping track of the elk during the winter (weather and roads permitting) for shed hunting season. During his adventures he was noticing a lot of cat sign in a fairly concentrated area. Maybe a kill or something or maybe it was just her winter area. I am no cat expert so I have no clue. He called my friend and told him about the area but my buddy and his son couldn't get away so they called me.

I've been on a YouTube kick for a while and one of the things I notice is the more you are will to go anytime, anywhere even if you don't know an area. The more chances you have at being successful. I am really not a drop everything and go kinda guy but I had some sick days to use up so I said what the heck I'm going now. Turned toward home grabbed my stuff and took the day off.

All by myself (because the boys are not doing their part in keeping up on school and they needed to learn a lesson) I headed toward Blewett pass with no drop pin from On X becuase he doesn't use it. (Who doesn't use On X?) No co-pilot nothing. Just a FS rd and a topo picture of the ridge I was supposed to hunt. Becuase I didn't save an offline map! Oops.

Okay maybe that's a little dramatic. I had some better directions than that but it felt like that's all I was going with.

With my chain box and winter safety supplies in the back of the 4runner I head up the FS road in search of the secret parking place on the ridgeline that I was to hike. This ridgeline cuts between 2 drainages and it doesn't go all the way to the top of canyon. Kinda hard to explain but the canyon kinda makes a horseshoe around the top of this ridge.

I wanted to take my bow but was told that would be making something that is going to be hard even harder. I was also told that open sights in the possible thick stuff and most likely close quarters action would be the best option so I took the 30-30 lever action. Cowboy style ish know what I'm sayin?

I hiked for about 20 minutes and did my first setup. Not sure what page this is on in the cougar calling thread but I read that if it doesn't happen in 30 minutes or less you should probably move. So I gave it 15 or so lol what can I say. A little bit a light fawn distress and quiet a bot more and quiet. No cats what the heck? Just kidding I knew I was in for a long day of tree staring.
