I guess i should have been more clear. Im aware you cant use hounds to hunt cat in WA. I wouldnt be looking for a hunting partner if I could. I have 2 ticks on coon though.

I know there are Washington folks driving across the big river to hunt bobcats in Oregon.

Daniel, I read your two posts again and they both make sense if you are talking about calling bobcats with a predator call. I totally missed that. You are new to the site so you would not know that to most of us "bobcat hunting" just assumes the use if dogs. Not to many callers reading this site, although there are a couple who do both.

I am wondering what type of license you bought for running bobcats in Washington? I am unclear as to what you are looking for? Your posts are confusing me. But I ain't that bright.
You want a hunting partner to not hunt bobcats with? Actually, I don't hunt them. Maybe you want me. I am in North Dakota though. Might be a problem if we want to not hunt them together in the same state.
Any way, good luck finding what ever it is you are hoping to find. A lot of nice folks on here to help you figure it out. I know there are Washington folks driving across the big river to hunt bobcats in Oregon.
As far as i know unless ive misunderstood bobcat hunting is legal sept 1 14 - march 15 15 with purchase of your license? I am aware you cant use hounds**

Thats why im looking for help lol. Ive hunted in states where its legal to hound hunt, ive never attempted not using dogs. Not too sure of good areas to go either. I havent had good luck coon hunting up here either.

you can use a spot light in wash for cats, dogs for coon but not cats.

Sorry about that. Shows u how small my world is. I once found a Washington state hunters site. I can't remember what it is called. But hunters of all kinds post on there. You might find some callers on there, or maybe a nationwide site devoted to predator calling. Or maybe there are more folks who call on this site than what I know about.
Wish you the best. I know it is a tough gig. Don't blink your eyes or you are busted.

If you can find anywhere to coonhunt on tidal flats, I bet you would do really well there on coon. Good luck.
Wish you the best.
