Thanks guys, I have a few more to do, and a few more to make fresh. Looking forward to calling this year, hope we get some snow.... last year was a bit frustrating!

Hope this is ok for this thread.

I found some fresh lion tracks today. I followed what I could till I found an area where I could call and still kinda see( everything was super thick and steep!) I found a good spot to hide and pull out my e caller..............dead! Won't even turn on. So I pull out couple hand calls and try to tuck in the brush a little more and start with fawn distress pausing every 30 sec or so to listen.  After a bit I hear a whistle about 150 yards up the hill, Then another one about 200 yards to my right. They talk back and forth a a few times with the second one getting a little closer. Then I do another set and I hear one last whistle so I do it back best I can with my voice. All quiet! After a few mins I hear this gargley cough sound just fifty yards away. I scan the area with just my eyes but just couldn't see in that area(thick firs) I sat there for a long time still as death but after a while I heard something leaving. 

Any tips how this could have played out better? What did I do right and should I do diffrent to change the next hunt. I know snow would help me see better but after last winter I think I need to learn to hunt these cats with or with out snow. Thanks for any advise you can offer
