I am amazed at the number of responses to my post
earlier about Cougars - The Mountain Lion kind. I
have already received over a dozen responses.
Even including the humorous ones that included
suggestions about trips to a bar or to Pullman,
they were all serious and mostly shared my
interest in seeing one of these elusive cats.
NOBODY had ever had anything other than a very
fleeting glance and many people share my very
strong desire to see one. Recommendations have
ranged from Walla Walla to Blewett Pass to Mt. St.
Helens, to Mt. Rainier to the Olympics,
Ellensburg, Winthrop, Carnation, the Columbia
Gorge, San Francisco, Southern California,
Arizona, a den somewhere in the mountains on a
cliff and "the trail behind you".

Several people, like me, have indicated that they
have seen many other big cats around the world,
but never this one. There is a lot of pent up
demand for a view of a Cougar. I would gladly
hire a guide to help and others have expressed a
similar interest. Maybe some enterprising
outdoorsman/woman entrepreneur can take up this
opportunity and make a lot of us happy.
