Looking for cougar help

[Extrapale]

My dad has a nevada license burning a hole in his pocket and would like to put it to good use on a cougar. We have dogs, and prefer the northern part of the state. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have Oregon deer and elk info to trade, or montana deer info if that would help. Thanks

I hunted near Gerlach to the Cali border last year and also in 2001 and seen plenty of cat sign and deer kills.

032...the last time I was in there the place was stinking with cat. On the road to Onion reservoir we would would see cat tracks on the main road from the night before. 5 yrs ago a buddy of mine was in there with a rifle deer tag and he said he saw more cat tracks than he saw deer. I am willing to bet nothings changed since the deer tag numbers haven't really gone up, cats keep em thinned out.

I know you said Northern Nv, but here is one for Central/Southern. This weekend I hiked up to Mt jefferson out of Pine Creek and about 2 to 3 miles up I started seeing cat prints on the trail. That was Saturday. On the way back down Sunday right in the middle of the trail was a deer leg. I looked around and in the brush was the remains of what looked like a small doe.
He must have been feasting on it through the night only feet from the trail.
If you don't use the info maybe someone else will.

Hey jmcenulty,
Do you live in central NV?

No Las Vegas, but all the beautiful country is in the central part.
