Cat hunters please enlighten me. I have never seen anyone out here hunting cats with dogs or without. Is the snow too deep for the dogs or the terrain too tough? I was sledding on the weekend and the cougar and bobcat tracks were unreal. Almost every deer track I saw had a cat track right behind it. There were at least three different sets of cougar tracks over a 10 km stretch. One with a kitten and 2 singles that crisscrossed back and forth across the river bottom. I know bobcats are at their highpoint right now but every couple of hundred yards there was a fresh set of bobcat tracks. I can't work right now due to the snow so I may as well go predator hunting. Is there a reason no one hunts them here, I have a feeling they are very hard on the blacktails here.
