25-ish years ago my Dad and I camped one memorable October weekend on the upper Klick at Stinson Flats. The river was running somewhere between mocha and latte, which might explain why we had the place to ourselves. An hour or so after dark we heard something outside the tent. Next morning we found kitty prints the size of hamburger buns next to ours where we took our waders off.
Beginner level cougar. A true cougar connoisseur will seek our a wine drinker, or better yet, a mixed drink drinking cougar, not a microbrew drinking cougar. Beware a of the Kristal sipping cougar. Too controlling, at least from my understanding.
Weird s#it happens on the Klickitat. It's been that way for years. If there was a dry side of the Olympic peninsula, the Klickitat would be it.My story was at Leidel.

Had a friend who used the Kiawanis camp for a family reunion/retreat. Walked out onto a porch early one morning to find a Coug starting down at them from nearby tree.We've got one up on Mill Creek Rd in Walla Walla between the fire station and Kooskooskie. Have seen it on the hill behind the house, caught it on trail cam once, and saw it in the front yard about 2 months ago. Shocking how big they are.
Yes...he was sizing you up for potential snack.When I was about 12, we were on a backpacking trip in the Jim Bridger- Teton national forest outside of Yellowstone. We were on our way out when we realized that we were being tracked by a cat. Never saw it, but we could hear it off to the side of us in the trees. It tracked us for quite a ways, completely unnerved us.

Most likely a fisher cat. Makes a scream like a woman being murdered. First time I heard it in Acton, ME I was convinced there was someone outside who needed help, dashed outside with the flashlight only to find nothing. Happened again and again for several hours.I have never seen one, but once when I was tent camping in NH I heard the most bloodcurdling scream really nearby and I think it was a catamount. Scared me silly! I had my hand on my sheath knife the whole rest of the night.
