Cougar hunting with dogs?

[Why not?]

Who is still doing this?

Lots of folks Ted. I know of a few in Alberta and BC, its a good run for the heart if you want to do it. Up until now a lack of snow has made this a tougher season from what I have heard. Need some numbers?

 

[crazy_davey]

rem338win is correct Ted, lots of outfits around for chasing cats. I know quite a few as well if you need contacts for Alberta for future seasons.

A year or so back, there was a CGN member posting some great photos and stories of his hounds and their cat chases. Maybe he'll see this thread and add to it.

Yup, I was going to say the same thing. I think he is a guide and had some awesome pic's of cougars up in a tree with his dogs below.

We were out a few times this year with some buddies in Cranbrook. It's a great way to help pass the winter. These are two of the cats we treed.

I went for a few days last weekend in bc. I didn't get a cat but had fun and will go again.

Is there a lot of Cougars in the Western province, i was told that in Quebec there is only about 90 cats in the wild... Cheers. JP.

I use a basset hound for cougars.... She runs up to them, leans against their legs and rolls over for a belly rub. Then it's easy to start up a conversation about how cute my dog is.....

Yes, populations are very healthy.

Speaking of cougars, just rode the quad up to check the trail camera a few minutes ago and got this sneaky guy out in during the daylight hours.

 

[Why not?]

Whoah, you guys are getting to me!

[caramel]

This is impressive... Cheers. JP.

Wonderful ...

 

[Why not?]

That's perhaps because you have never been there. I feel the same about baiting bears, but have friends in other places that really enjoy it.

I do appreciate your respectful post.

Not gonna get cranky about it ...
But unethical , too me ...
Gun owners ... Thumbs up
Dog owners thumbs up ...
Wonderful cat thumbs up ....
MAN, GUNS, DOGS, chasing the CAT ...
just two cents ...

Respectfully, you're province allows dogs to chase deer out there last I checked. And treeing cats is no slam dunk. Cats go vertical quick.
Anyway, I think thats an emotional response to something you don't understand entirely.

 

[rem338win]

Davey that is a HUGE cat. Have you called the dog men yet?

 

[locke it]

I'm a hunter. I don't feel any need to kill a cat. I could care less what others want to do, I would like to hear the stores and see the pictures. If the chance ever popped up for me to go, I would go.
