Cougar Hunting
Spent the day with Sliverpicker  trying to find a cougar. 
We got in the winter range, spent a while driving around looking for some tracks in the fresh snow crossing a road to chase down  Finally we got on foot and hiked a few miles trying to find a fresh cat track. We had fresh snow, with lots of deer and coyote tracks
We found quite a few deer, some even had headgear 
At the end of the day, we found no cat tracks, no sheds, nothing died, but I still had a great time. 
This is going to be a great year  Thanks Ron

Re: Cougar Hunting
Nice, sounds like what I do almost every weekend, usually ends up being a scenic hike but always good to get out.
New snow tonight!

Re: Cougar Hunting
What you talkin'bout, we slayed a semi full of bulls and bucks! 
The snow conditions were perfect today. Yet you find any lion tracks this winter though? Better classify them as threatened! 
Thanks for coming along Roy!

Re: Cougar Hunting
Looks like fun and getting pics of those bucks would have made my day. Good luck on your next hunt.
