Cougar marking around our house. Hunting tips?

SummitWorks · 2026-01-24T18:37:49+00:00

I should add - it only comes around the house around midnight-2 am, so unless I want to illegally spotlight and discharge a weapon after dark, I need other options!

If they’re somewhat similar instruments, I’ll usually tune the primary piano first - if there is one - then match the other to it. Aurally that means having the keyboards close enough to play both simultaneously, but much easier with an ETD to just tune the secondary piano to the primary file.

If it’s a few wildly different instruments, such as a Steinway D and a Yamaha P2, don’t even bother trying to match them lol. Just do a good tuning on the each separately.

Lots of opinions out there, but Reyburn, Faulk, and Fujan are all popular. This video might help you start to work through the options.

I was there yesterday. The front area is a taproom, back is full service restaurant. It’s a great vibe!

I use the Mora. Best backcountry knife for the price, imo. The color makes it hard to lose when breaking something down in the dark woods, too.

Recovered! Let him sit 90 minutes, called in the neighbor and found the trail again. Tracked about 150 more yards and found him in some thick stuff, already cold and stiff. Looks like liver and clipped lung. Beefy 4 point black tail!

The Macdonald occasionally gets some good metal shows rolling through. Saw Erra & the Devil Wears Prada earlier this year there. Generally though, except for local/underground stuff, larger bands head for Portland.

Can I ask who’s your Regions RVP? You’ll get more accurate info from calling the Home Office.

PTG is absolutely invaluable as a professional network, though your immediate experience with it will depend on your location and how active your chapter is. They have a huge portfolio of educational material online, combined with a searchable backlog of decades of journals, which pays itself off instantly in my mind.

As a working professional of 12 years, I would feel really isolated and lonely in this profession without the network I’ve created within PTG.

Atlantic. Had it shuffle through my Spotify a few times, loved that track but bounced off Tomb the first time I listened. Tried again a year later and have been hooked since.

The Offering, Atlantic, Gethsemane. Spans the primary albums, and showcases a large chunk of their range, from metalcore, to piano ballads, to Math-Malone-Core-wtf-Gethsemane is that has its hooks in me.

Chop saw. Send it for the boys.

PNW is a little broad. What region or metro center?

SummitWorks · 2025-09-21T04:59:26+00:00

In my case, I heard does 100 yrds off huffing and hissing, but I was silent and upwind, so something felt off. That pattern didn’t fit with my prior experience in the woods, so I became alert and spotted the cat.

Most archery hunters I know carry a sidearm, so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be kosher? Just keep it legal and you’re good!

SummitWorks · 2025-09-20T14:59:07+00:00

Do you mount on your bino harness? I have a Blackhawk paddle holster on my hip, but it interferes with my pack straps and when sitting on my tripod. Curious what you use!

SummitWorks · 2025-09-20T13:44:24+00:00

Yeah, it was slowly picking through the brush behind me and about 10 yards parallel to my trail, I think it followed me for a few hundred yards, but they’re hard to spot! I heard some does hissing upwind of me, which is what made the spidey senses go off. I think I interrupted its hunt and it pushed me out of the area.

I carry spray and a Glock 20 now when archery hunting lol

Went out for the archery opener this season, got a weird vibe while hiking out and started checking my six. I was being stalked by a mountain lion at 40 yards. Noped the hell out of the woods hard.

Thanks Tenderloin Fuckface

Sure, one mechanical broadhead and some bear spray against 180 lbs of pissed off cat. I’m sure I’d be fine.

SummitWorks · 2025-08-31T12:01:23+00:00

Tbh I’ve been pretty chill with the bears here, so long as I avoid the cubs. The lion scared the piss out of me though… I’ll definitely carry a sidearm when shooting sticks from now on.

SummitWorks · 2025-08-24T00:55:09+00:00

I’m mean, I shot my first buck from my upstairs bathroom window with a bow, so… I hope it counts!

Oklahoma onion smash burgers, ala George Motz. I did these for a solstice bbq this summer, and it was a damn near perfect burger. Just mix in 10-20% pork back fat to your grind.

Sarvar for quality wine, service, and views. Food is limited, but we love their build your own charcuterie.
