Hey guys just wondering about calling coyotes in Cougar/Bear habitat. Just getting into hunting coyotes and everyone I see (pictures, talking to buddies, videos, etc) is out hunting in big wide open spaces.
What precautions should/can be taken to responsibly lower the risks? Maybe the answer is its just stupid to do predator calling in or near heavy woods where large predators are known to lurk. I don't want to be the butt of those "stupidest hunter" or "hunter becomes the hunted" tales.
"AP - North Bend WA - Area hunter is maimed by <insert large animal> because he stupidly went out in the woods and mimiced the sound of a distressed rabbit. Found near the man's boots was slightly used foxpro with teeth marks in it."
