don't no, not sure if they even send a tooth in any more, and from what I have been
told if they do depends to what lab.

You stated you are new to the area correct? Well guys that have lived here and hunted here their whole life have a little better of an idea on whats going on with cats than a guy here 1 year. No offense. If you do not think there are guy here that kill practically every cat they tree you have the blinders on. Its not everybody but there is a group that just go to kill every cat. Talk to any old time cat hunter from the area, you might get an education.

Cougars currently being managed for kitty mill. While likely sustainable, there are no real objectives, nothing about cougars, human-wildlife conflict, or ungulates.
Lots of anecdotes, which are likely unsupported by data, but they sound good when people say them lol.

Lol, yes some education - seems to depend on the individual.
BS seems to run rampant in that part of the world.

You seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder when it comes to this area, always with your nose up thinking you are better. What ever make you sleep at night GG. You are not the end all be all of bc wildlife, I know you think it but come on pull your head our of your arse. This stuff I am talking about does happen here, believe it or not thats your call. Cat hunting is a gong show here now with any tom pretty well being shot because its "decent" that is what it has come to, I can honestly say I have killed 2 cougars in 13 years, many I let go were killed by the next hound guy to come along. Cats don't live a long and prosperous life here. The moe is working on collecting info with the help of the local hound club here. So I hope all the data that is being collected is going to go to work for the management of the cats.

Don't disagree on most of that. Agree you have some major issues.
The problem is there is no objective for cougars.
Under that is people who want so many different things, it is almost impossible to manage. Then there's the anecdotes.

As far as the personal stuff goes, there are lines in the sand that seem to be crossed regularly.
Death threats, threatening to 'punch people in the head', shooting collared cougars, calling the COS and making false reports, spreading unsubstantiated rumours all cross that imaginary line. Then there's the people cussing others out for hunting in certain parts of Region 4, only to be found in those areas later with a client in the truck.
Certainly not pointing the finger at you, just informing you what comes out of that part of the world regularly. One thing to have a discussion, a whole 'nother to threaten someone, or make false reports to the COS.
Hope this gives you a bit different perspective/understanding.
