Getting a mountain lion into bow range…
« on: September 09, 2012, 12:42:32 PM »
Ok… my buddy’s backwood-neighborhood is all 5+ acre lots and they have a cougar killin sheep and wondering around. They have invited me to bring my bow and set up anyplace on their land to hunt this cat.
1st, anyone see any reason why I can’t bow hunt on land parcels that size?
2nd, how can I get this cat to come into range? Call, or pattern him? Or?

Rainshadow on here sells cougar calls if you wanna try that. 5 acres in the middle of Seattle most likely won't go over to good with the greenies. Where is it you're hunting first off ?
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

If the cat is actively killing sheep your best bet would be to find a fresh kill and set up on it.

Use a Fawn Distress....

Just do not be surprised if you turn and the cat is like 15 ft. away watching you and his tail is twitching...   

Aint that right Seth?   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Just letting you know this isn't as fun as you'd think... I've had more then my fair share of close encounters with these devils while calling deer, elk, yotes, and bear.... Most have turned out bad for them but others have left me with wet underwear.... Litterally.... Bring a sidearm or have a buddy with a shotty or something....

I thought with 5 acres and a safe back drop you could use a gun...

You either have a big pair or your crazy!!!
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.
