Some from this past week that my son took.

Great Picts! That looks like a real monster in the second pict.

Hey Kudu56

Great pictures, by the looks of those trees Tanner must have been hunting down pretty low. Is Tanner still here in Wy or has he headed south already?

Take Care

Steve

No Steve, he is still sponging off of me and his mom! It will be late April I think before he heads south. Yes the one cat was down on the creek bottom. It had been killing whitetail deer on a ranch near Thermop. They didn't shoot any of the cats. Just photos.

Those are some great photos!! Thanks for posting them!

Thanks for the compliments. My #2 son lives for the chase!

Excellent pics!!!

This is my next "dream" hunt.

When you get ready let me know!

Hey, how bout next winter?!! PM me details!!

Cat therapist: "So, mister cougar, tell me, where do you think all this anger is coming from?"

Great shots! Thanks for sharing.

Good looking Cats.

Did you shoot the SOB?

Nice pic`s.

Those are a couple of great pics! Both cats look pretty big to me

Did you shoot the SOB?

Actually none were shot, the top two were treed the same day, the bottom one the day before. The bottom one is younger. Three different cats.

Great pictures! What area in Wyoming were you hunting?

Neat pictures.

More simple curiosity than anything but is that a female in the big crotch of what looks like a cottonwood, middle pic?

I'm not familiar with cougars but have heard the males tend to have blocky heads.

Thanks for posting the pics!

All three are males. But your right, a smaller head does some times, indicate a female. Depends on the individual. We have seen tracks in the snow that were huge, a big tom? Nope a two to three year old with big feet! One hunter shot a female this year, big blocky shoulders and head. Almost impossible to tell it was a female. It was about 130#.

Our houndsman is one of the best I have ever seen in his ability to tell males vs. females by tracks. He has been right about 80% of the time. Exactly how he does it I do not know-- a lot of it has to do with distance between tracks and the route they traverse, after following the tracks for about 100-200 yards he usually makes a guess and is very good at it.

Beautiful pics.....

Along with Elk, this is the one animal I would love tohunt in the US. How is it usually hunted?

Am I right to think that tags can be bought over the counter?

Yes a tag can be bought over the counter. The hunting units or areas, have quotas on females, as soon as the female quota is reached the season closes. There is one area near here, that rarely closes. It is usually open from year to year.

Thanks for that Kudu 56,

What is the cost of a Tag, and how is the cat usually hunted?

Rgds,

$362 for a license. And most hunts are with hounds on snow or dry ground. Ocassionaly and rarely, in some areas you can sit for hours and glass, then try a stalk. One ranch he hunts, the terrain is favorable to this kind of hunting. But success is low.
