Called in a Cougar Today

[CoastalHunter]

So I had put up my FoxPro up for sale on the classified section last week. After not getting any responses I decided to take it out today to try and call in some Coyotes in a area that I have seen a lot of sign. A friend of mine told me he has had a lot of luck with the woodpecker sounds. After 20 minutes or so i was getting antsi and decided to just play with the remote and different sounds like rabbit in distress and even coyote howling. I was scrolling thru all of the sounds when I glanced up and about s**t my pants. There was a cougar standing about 50 feet from me staring at the caller. I had left my big camera with the 400mm lens about 20 feet from me behind a fir tree. Then I remembered I had my phone with me. I took this picture of the cougar smelling the caller. The area I was calling in closed for cougar on the 1st of January.

Needless to say I am no longer selling the FoxPro and will be back when cougar opens up again.

That's one BIG cat!!

You guys might have seen a picture like it a couple of years ago, but this one was from Feb 2015, he called me right after it happened.

Sorry to disappoint you guys but the picture was taken February 13th of this year with my I-Phone.

That is why I always get a little on edge when I am calling with mouth calls in the woods for coyote rather than on the farm. I always imagine turning my head to see a kitty hunkered down behind me.
