how long is too long?
« on: March 06, 2013, 10:36:01 AM »
Yesterday, one of our truck drivers sees a cougar in a legal area where im somewhat familiar with. He doesnt tell me until today. Its been 24 hours. Is his trail too cold or should I bail out of work?

Grab a fawn bleat call and go.  Your odds of tagging him are infinitely better than if you don't try.  If kitty has a recent kill, may be within a very short distance of where sighted.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Try youtube to get the sound, it is actually pretty easy to make just pinching your nostrils between thumb and index finger with your hand cupped over your mouth.
