    Calling cougars?

    Sorry in advance if this has already been posted and discussed but I just decided to head up to the cabin tomorrow morning and I don't have much time to research this.

    There is a problem cougar in the neighbourhood by my cabin. I haven't seen it myself other than on my trail cams but a couple of my neighbours have seen it multiple times and it doesn't seem to have any fear of humans or houses. I've got the afternoon to kill so I figure I'll try my luck.

    Can they be called? I have a remote speaker and one of those twirly feather decoys. If so, can someone suggest where to download some calls to my phone? Everything is an app these days, I can't remember the last time I actually downloaded an mp3 to play on my phone.

    There are a few wolves in the 'hood too, and coyotes. Oddly, not a lot of deer anymore.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks Jim.

    I'll be sure not to wear my female cougar suit

    I found a good app with a repeat mode and a fawn in distress call.

    Giddyup. Thanks again Jimbo.

    Just a little fun Albravo but I don’t think you have to call them in . Just be in really buff shape and have a substantial limit on your credit card , they will come right in ! I had one follow me at dusk yesterday but I said I’m in a good relationship and I don’t have any money , she left me alone !

    I get your humour, with today’s events!

    Here is another idea...

    Obtain a very realistic stuffed dog toy,

    Attach a 5/8” x 8 ft dowel rod at an angle that

    has the stuffed bait at your 2 o clock..

    Have your dog or a friends dog play with it...

    Then, find some dog shit, (usually not to hard)

    and rub the.....

    Now, head out around Dusk and have your hunter Buddy trail behind

    With a Cross ........

    Uhm, it’s Friday night and I’m just realizing it’s time to switch to Beer

    He's anything but a hunter.
    More like another, Rain Coast Sociopath Fraud. Living off the prevails of his chronic lies, like the rest of them...

    It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.
    To the point you or Joe public, won't know them any more..
    They count on that big time..

    Sounds like a hungry cat..cats that dont run from people are normally have quite the attitude..

    If hes been seen that much just put sone time in he will show again..
    That cat will attack kids or pets for sure shoot it.......
