Called in a Cougar Today
« on: February 13, 2015, 02:34:38 PM »
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 puts you in a rare club, man.  Nice catch on the pic.

If not, I bet he come out of the woods with only one sock.

Leaves will also work in a pinch, just don't grab any poison ivy!

Luckily I have a strong sphincter muscle so no need use clothing. And I do carry a roll of TP in my backpack.

Glad you and your complete wardrobe made it out in one piece.  Looking forward to a pic of you holding this deer killer up in a big ol' bearhug.   :tup:
