Year 11 will be February 8th thru 18th. Fort Rock Basin Winter range. I'll post a map if anyone shows interest. Depending on snow we camp either 10 miles north of Fort Rock or 5 miles South.
 
I was out at Camp yesterday. Saw 3-4 older Cougar track trails in area. One trail I think was the same cat just farther down. Hard to tell with a dusting of snow in the tracks.
 
Cool! Best of luck.

Heading out locally here on Weds, on snowshoes. Cougar tag in pocket!

What kind of guns do you use for lions? If I was going to go, I think I would like to use a pistol.
 
Ranges are longer than a standard pistol cartridge generally. I see the Shed hunters packing hand guns. Better than nothing. One of the guys who comes most years, uses a bolt action hand gun. 7mm something I think. In a Michigan Hardwood Forest, A .40, 10mm, 357, 44mag etc might be ok. Where we are hunting 100 plus yards will be a common shot opportunity. We have bow hunters show up. So a handgun hunter will fit right in.
