You could make a week trip to NE Idaho and kill mountain lion if you want. That and north central WA to shoot Moose would be the only long trek you'd have to make.


He doesn't even need to leave the state for mountain lions, have plenty here. Especially in the NE and SW parts of the state, where the Rocky mountain elk reside (for the most part).

I started a thread about a trail I've hiked where someone spotted a lion staring at him. It was actually in WA but not far from Portland. Anyway, there are deer and elk just outside the city in the woods. Where they are, lions are.

A law was made years ago to outlaw using dogs to hunt em. The population has grown so big ranchers/farmers want to reinstate it.

When we go hike/backpack around Wallowa lake area (NE) Oregon we carry a gun. There have been many spottings.

I wasn't sure about laws/seasons/tags for cats in OR. I thought I had remembered they weren't real friendly as I had a buddy who always used to go over into Idaho even though we had plenty in WA...that's good to know.

We started carrying sidearms when deer hunting around Spokane. Walked right underneath a treed cat. Almost pooped my pants. They are impressive animals. Still can't wrap my ahead around why they don't kill more hunting dogs...

Family has a cabin along the wallowa river. Used to head over to Joseph and take one of the Lostine river forks up to Eagle Cap. Sorry for getting off topic, good memories

Thanks a lot for that! We're planning on camping there later this summer. The wif is definitely not going to hear about this.

Oregon is one of only 2 states I've never been to but that changes this summer. We'll spend 2-3 weeks there on our trip and plan on at least the SW coast (coming up from the California Redwoods), Crater Lake, Bend, Mt. Hood, and Joseph. Maybe Portland just to see it though we're not much for the cities.
