No luck tonight...but getting closer...
« on: December 30, 2008, 05:37:48 PM »
Had to get out of the house, so I went to a little spot...

I got onto some bobkitty tracks, yote and cougar, but calling did no good... :dunno: Maybe next time.

At least I saw their tracks so I know where some are...its only a matter of time...

Hit those calls hard and give it plenty of time with your set-ups.  A fawn/doe decoy (for cougar) could be very effective with some loud fawn distress bawls.

I stayed 1 hour for each set....only did 2 sets though...used mainly cotton tail distress...with a few howls set in later on in the sets.

Again, thanks for the tips... ;)
