It's highly possible the stats are off. Just like they can be off for other game mammals.

[Rank Amateur]

That is possible, but with mandatory check in that shouldn't be the case. That is a puzzler, being that most cats are taken through incidental take during the biggame seasons and I think snow during that time period is not critical.

I think the advantage of snow is the tracks give you confidence that a cat is in the area. I have heard that guys are having decent success predator calling into areas that have fresh tracks. Without the fresh tracks you could waste a lot of time calling into empty country.
Thats my thought anyway.
