WA Hound Hunting
KillBilly:
Crazy.... kill a tom and leave the females to raise more toms to breed and raise more toms... how does anyone do the math and come out with less Cougars? the females will usually have twins but have been known to have more. The worst part is that the female is the one that teaches the young to hunt. During this educational period, they will kill many deer and or elk just for practice. They will not even eat all of the kill. I have seen several fresh kills by a cougar family in the wilderness area near Lake Quinalt. Pure carnage plain and simple. It definitely needs to be controlled.

i'm not sure about that either...maybe just to keep the numbers down??
Cougeyes:
Yeah I failed to make the point of, people, especially the hound hunters want cougars to exist, sure in some areas their populations may need to be reduced in order to help deer or elk popultions rebound, but I wouldn't suggest any sort of management that decreases statewide populations, I would like to see them maintain the numbers we have and address the areas of "problems".

Me too! This isn't an extermination program- it's another tool for management.
Most hound hunters would be tickled just to get a "pursuit only" season and catch and release!
