Vocals are the best calls to use, by the way!

Just like a large tom cat.you prob. have heard them trying to get a mate,a lot of noise.These sounds work well for calling cougars any time of year,they are territorial and they breed mostly in early spring but will anytime a female is calling for it.And that can be at any time.

elk calf distress call.  17 yards staring you down.  Going to try that one again but hopefully with better results.

Toms are not too vocal. They respond, but they don't do a lot of squallin'. The females are the ones that turn it loose when they're in heat. Like you probably wouldn't even imagine! Young ones are vocal too, but when the males get up towards 2 yo they go pretty quiet. They still respond to other cat's calls, and they make small noises in response. (I finally got a good Tom call in my Library this year.)

Bait has to be in an area the cats are. Have had MANY bait sites for coyotes visited by big cats. But there has to be cats in the area first. Quite a few that we would start the dogs on them for clients back in the day
