Thank you I appricate your advise I guess there isn't an easy way out. I got my caller with 138 sounds from all predator non of the free ones and I am lost. Gunna mess around with it everyday this next week. I really want to figure out an elk calling sequence were I have a lost calf then a couple of cows who find her and a satalight bull that moves in. Think it could be deadly. And mix in some apple crunching it won't be fare.

Sneaking up on a cat has to be too much fun. Just got my shockwave not that impressed I am not a computed expert by any means but damn this thing is complicated. Anyone know if you can send the shockwave somewhere to have someone download the free sounds off fox pro website and potentially upload calling sequences. Also want to learn to have elk sequences for elk hunting.
Not sure you can you electronic calls for elk.  I would double check the regs on that.  :tup:
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Don't try putting an electric tail on a deer decoy either.  Big no no.  A guy told me that a game warden gave him that friendly advice instead of a big fat ticket this year.  What got him off was probably that the electric tail he bought was a piece of junk and didn't work right.

???? You can use the mojos, critters, funny bunnies, etc.  Those are all electronic and make motion.

Sometimes an older track is worth following. 

At a place where I've noticed lions regularly cross a logging road I stopped to check and found a large cougar track 8 hours old, heading uphill.  I could age the track by how much snow was in it, and knew when the snow had quit falling and the tracks had frozen harder.  Hmmm... it was 80 yards of steep scramble to reach the flat top of the ridge above but I followed.  15 yards onto the flat was a tangle of down trees twisted into a weird natural tepee and the big cat tracks went out of sight under the middle of the pile.  I wondered if he was still under the logs and circled slowly and as silently as possible.  His tracks emerged when I'd circled 3/4 of the way around the pile-- and now they were no more than an hour and a half old! 

Ditto for a lynx:  found a track several hours old, drove on ahead to check side roads, and hit the same track a mile farther and hours fresher.   Both cats apparently stopped for a nap.

Is it worth following? :dunno:   If you have to follow on foot it demands a lotta sweat for an unlikely possibility.

I agree. Even day old tracks can get you closer. Walk them down till you find fresher sign. I take note of every single peace of cat sign I find. Every bit of info is important imo

I saw three lions last week walking a logging road.  I went up to were they entered the woods, two of the three were still there.  I didn't have my camera ready unfortunately.

Is the heart on that x-ray vision cougar in the right place?  It is about a full heart-width farther back than I would expect, but maybe that is accurate.  Anybody know for sure?
