question for cat hunters

i would like to know what kind of snowmobiles you all use thanks Tim

I hunted for years without one and then finally picked up a couple to either dig a lion out with or recover my hounds. One is an old Yamaha 600 beater and the other a 800 Polaris--the Polaris will go about anywhere you are man enough to point it.........

I use a Yamaha 600, havent got to use it yet but I have a setup to pull behind it like Ike does. Nice aluminum dog box that is light, can squeeze probably 4 hounds in there, 5 if you really tried! Plan on using it sometime this year when the snow starts piling up.

thanks guys ....if anyone else has pics of there cat sleds please post them thanks again Tim

Here's one my dad built, that I now use. It's just a 440 twin fan cooled. It's geared down and has a 151'' X 2'' track under it, with reverse which is a must in my opinion. We,ve put over 9,000 miles on the original motor and it's still going.

so far all of them are NICE..... i'd probably be having way to much fun on any of those and forget to look for tracks LOL keep them coming and thanks for posting pics

Here is what I use, it works a lot better then pulling a sled. I used to do that but it is tough to get turned around with a sled behind in tight spots.

some nice cat machines

Big storm headed in so I hooked up my snow plow to my wheeler, let it snow let it snow!

Nice!! Keep us informed of the storm..When does cat season start for you?

Lion season opened last Wednesday but I haven't done much. A buddy and i went out Saturday and found a couple older lion tracks from the last storm but nothing we wanted to turn out on. I basically have four units within driving distance that are year round on harvest objective so I'm in no hurry to run out and wade in the snow after a lion, but the time will come before you know it.

I believe or bobcat starts December 1st, which is a couple weeks later than past years. They also dropped the number of tags from four to three this year, guess the trappers have thinned them out. I need to hunt my son's two yearlings on some bobcat and lion this winter so I picked up a couple tags since we don't have a pursuit season on bobers......

How bout you, when does you bobcat season open and do you hunt them?
