FieldGrade,
We have several contests each year. So far no problems with cheating. We have a vet there that is really good, he can tell within the hour when they were killed, if they've been frozen, etc. On the bigger contests we have a lie detector available, haven't needed it so far. We have a lot of fun with these contests.
Those are nice cats, I've never killed a cat, hope to some day.
I lived on the grade between Greer and Weippe for about six years so I know your area well. You wouldn't be around Peck would you? I knew some people there. Used to stop in the Canyon Inn, when Mike owned it, for one of his sourdough hotcakes. Anyway I saw quite a few bobcats when I was hunting but never managed to get one. Saw quite a bit of lion sign too but never have seen one in the wild. Good luck with your cat hunting, looks like lots of fun.
