Hello from British Columbia !

[BlacktailStalker]

Just a hello!
Heard of this site from a few good guys!

I've been researching continuosly the last couple weeks on hounds/hunting. Looking to get started, NOW !
Pouring a slab this weekend and building kennels and runs.

Have a line on one 2 year old walker and looking for another, preferably started and would like the convenience of paying for one thats well on his/her way. and then adding a third down the road.

All I'm interested in is cougars, we've got some monster cats here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia and I cant wait to start chasing them.

Found some good pics of kennels on here and dog boxes from you guys, good write up on collars and recievers etc.

Question, can a guy run those marshall long range collars on a maxima 5000/25 reciever no problem? I like the idea of the AA batteries and the supposed extended range of the collars. the LEDS arent a bad idea either.
Those collars on a max 5000 reciever teamed up with a yagi antenna are what I think I'm going with.
Any input ?

If anybody has a reputable contact here in British Columbia for a started walker, it'd be much appreciated.

Nice to be here and Ive enjoyed everything posted so far.
Have a good rest of your season!

No line on Walkers up there (although that shouldn't be a problem) but Steve Mohr of Ursus Plotts is just down the road, try - ursusplotts.com

Site doesn't seem to work for me...
thanks though.

There are no cats on the Island

[BlacktailStalker]

I agree spokerider.
Just ferral over fed house cats right.
The deer to cat sign ratio I saw on a 12 km hike in a basin that doesnt get bothered too much yesterday was unreal
I need to get in there NOW.

What do you run ?

Give this web site a tryhttp://www.ursusplotts.com/if this doesn't work. Here is the phone number 604-823-4657 for Steve & Amber mohr.
Good luck in your search. I have one of them and my neighbor has four of them. We do very little bear hunting, but they do a really good job on Bobcat and cougar

Thanks redplott.
I dont plan to chase bears so thats good to hear.
All we have aside from that here is cougars.
