Using a dripper for predators?

[Pete112288]

I have a dripper that I had used a summer or two ago with a store bought bear attractant to get a couple trail cam pics of bears. It worked ok. I was curious though. Do you think that if I took blood, say elk or beef blood, and put it in the dripper would it be enough scent to pull in a variety of predators (cougar, bear, coyote, bobcat...) to the trail cam? I would really like to see if I can pull some cougar into my cam. I have seen cougar urine scent at the store marketed to keep deer out of the garden but on it is a huge waring "may attract cougars" would that be effective to bring cougars to the camera? I have heard that using scent for cougars can be unreliable unless they come right by it. Can anyone back this up or dispute it?

Would that be considered baiting?

sounds like it would be worth a try.  But would you want cougar in heat scent to bring in random toms, or tom scent to try to get a big territorial cat fight going?

I would probably go with the cougar in heat scent. I just want to get pics of them. I have yet to see more than one or two random cat tracks let alone an actual animal in the area but I know they are there.

Not sure if the "in heat" scent would help any.  It's the female that goes looking for the tom when she's in heat.
