Getting a mountain lion into bow range…

[EAS]

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 ?

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

  Seattle is just one 5 acre lot after another.  All with sheep bleating away

...................I forgot it's full of sheeple, what was I thinking !!!

[Instinct]

Fawn in distress maybe

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?

anyone ever call-in a cat and take'em with a bow?
i know that cat is in the area, just not sure of the best way to get him with-in bow range...
thoughts?

Oddly enough, this is not on my list of things to do

There is a member on here named Rainshadow and he is known for calling in cats he has some info on his website and he sells caller sounds I believe, anyway you might check that out he should be in the sponsors area he also makes lovely calls and knives.

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....

That is exactly right!

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

I blew on my elk distress and had one within feet.    Sometimes works wonders

I was yelping on a turkey call, looked back literally 10 feet behind me. Im surprised I did not sh*t my pants
