Cougar Hunters in Oregon?

[predator hunter]

i hunt the big cats here in soutgern oregon. we have way to many, deer population declining and way more sightings among people out and about. i can usually walk out my back door and find fresh tracks within the first quarter mile. know of 14 killed in a 10 mile stretch a couple years ago.

Do alot of hunting in cental ore. Lot of lion sign in the ochoccos, sightings all around Redmond, Bend. Just got retired out of military,i have alot of time to hunt, boys have been busy with sports so i havent been able to get away. I even had a spring black bear tag for snake river but couldnt find the time. Would love to do more though. GETAHOLD OF ME.

I'm looking into it. I'm looking for a FP unit now and then add some of Rain-Shadows' sounds- I'm from the Eugene area but do most of my hunting in the Blues. I seem to see cats every year now so hopefully calling them will be succesfull.

I wouldn't want to hunt without a partner calling cougar. 360 degrees view is need.. I've had big bobcats sneak in real close-and didn't know they were there. can't imagine having a couger hunting ME!!!!--wow!! good luck SHOOT'EM DEAD

I'm in Benton county, and am in need of hunting partners as well. I'm working on getting in contact with the right people to get my weapon of choice (bigbore air rifles) legalized for cougar. Might be able to squeeze it into the muzzleloader regulations, but until then I need someone there to shoot any cougars that come in to the call when I am targeting bobcats.
