Local VB players receive honors
Both Skyline and Sky-Em league coach-

Grove Lions and the North Douglas War-
riors received honors.

single senior on the roster, juniors Mat-
ty Ladd (OH) and Avery Hutchins (OH)
were named to the Sky-Em All-League First
Team. Sophomores Peyton Kidd (S) and
Gracie Arnold — who missed time towards
the end of the season due to injury — were

Oregon’s population of about 6,000
cougars occupies a wide variety of hab-
itats across the state, offering a year-
round, readily-accessible hunting op-
portunity.
Their nocturnal habits and stealthy
character make cougars a challenging
big game animal to hunt. ODFW wild-
life biologists Scott Napoli from the
White River Wildlife Area and Herman
Biederbeck from the north Coast offer
these tips to help you harvest more cou-
gars.
1. Ditch the calendar. Winter, after
other big game seasons have closed, is a
great time to hunt cougar. Damp, snowy
ground can make it easier to track cou-
gar. Also deer and elk begin to concen-
trate in lower elevation areas, becoming
major attractions to hungry cougars.
2. Scout, locate, document. Prior to
your hunt, spend time in the field scout-
ing for cougar the same way an elk hunt-
er scouts for elk. Locate cougar signs like
tracks (be sure you know what a cougar
track looks like), kill sites (cougars cover
their kill and return to it later) and even
scent markers (a scrape of leaves and
twigs that cougars use to mark their ter-
ritories with urine and poo). Document
what you find on a map or GPS. As you
begin to collect data, you might start
seeing patterns in how a cougar travels
in their territory.
3. Set up trail cameras on ridgelines
and game trails to see what’s happening
when you’re not there. Even better, fo-
cus on canyon areas, where cats like to
spend time.
4. Use good quality calls. Predator
calling is the best option for targeting
cougars and being successful. But be
prepared to spend money on a good call.
Consider both the source of the sounds
they are recording and the quality of
the digital
playback.

10 ways to be a better cougar hunter

are likely to investigate the sound of an-
other cat in their territory.
5. Call long and hard. Call longer for
cats – 45 minutes of continuous calling
or more. Twenty minutes of calling now
and then may work for some predators
like coyote, but it’s not the way to call
cougar.
6. Call safely. Cats are quiet and
stealthy – you don’t want one creeping
up on you while you’re calling. Here are
a couple of techniques to stay safe. Call
while sitting back-to-back with a buddy.
You’ll have a 360 degree view around
you and will be able to take turns call-
ing as loud and long as you can. Set up
with your back to something like a tall
canyon wall that will keep a cougar from
creeping up behind you. Stay still, espe-
cially when using mouth calls. Moving
may cause a cougar to think you’re the
prey.
7. Consider a moving decoy. They
became legal at the beginning of 2019.
Set one up and start calling at a kill site
or canyon entrance and watch for cou-
gar.
8. Don’t overlook the details. Some-
time it’s the smallest things that can ruin
your hunt. Be quiet. Once you arrive at
your hunting site, try to be as stealthy as
the cats you’re hunting. Don’t slam the
car doors, keep conversation to mini-
mum, walk slowly and quietly to your
calling site, etc. Manage your scent
-- cougars have a keen sense of smell.
Where possible, set up downwind of the
direction from which you expect a cou-
gar to approach, use scent sprays to treat
you and your clothes. Take advantage of
shade and cover to make yourself harder
for a cat to see.
9. Be ready, even if you aren’t neces-
sarily cougar hunting. Most cougars are
seen and taken by deer and elk hunters.
Have a cougar tag with so you can take
advantage when a cougar opportunity
presents itself.
10. Consider cougar for dinner. Most
people don’t know how good cougar
meat can be, so it’s worth taking some
back strap home and giving it a try. (Al-
though you’re not legally required to sal-
vage cougar meat.)
