Thanks Spanky. I guess I have not asked the right person that question until now. Nobody has said anything that made me think gee that sure does make sense. I had never looked at it from that angle.
Your correct MTblack&tan the fact that there were so many people killing cats so quickly that direction before the permits makes one think of putting in for a permit. But to be able to put your time in and do things correctly and hunt hard that far from home is not that practical for me. I would have to quit work, divorce and then run 24/7. It would be great if you had someone to stay with or run with that new the area. To put in for a permit and have no idea in hell where to look for tracks is not fair to screw the guys that know the area. Maybe this is not the right way of thinking but I am not going to try and screw somebody for my own benefit when I don't know what I am doing.
The thought of chasing, treeing and killing only a big tom should not be that hard for anybody. I don't want a female or a tiny tom on my wall. I just want that big tom and the rest can run another day. Its not the kill that interest me. I have been only under one cat tree ever and that was the most awe inspiring sight I may have ever witnessed. That is the reason I am TRYING to get into this sport.
