If you could do it silently it could help. I've thought about using a tree stand but you would prob need to pre hang it to not get busted. |

Exactly, I've found that a tree stand you carry in with you is just too much commotion. Same problem for circling around on a vocalizing cat. I've seen it work on coyotes, and I've had a Cougar vocalizing enough to make me want to try an end run, but there's just no way you're getting around it without being seen! (Still looking for call-in stories to add to the website! Let me know if any of you guys have one!) |

I wasn't thinking a tree stand, more just get up 3 to 4 feet higher, so im not looking just into the brush in front of me but looking through it (if that makes sense). |

Personally I prefer to call facing up hill. So my area is all above me. I think if you where sitting on a branch you movement would be multiplied cause every tiny move you make will move the branch too. Me I'm a big guy, not built for climbing trees lol so go me it could be dangerous with out a tree stand. I like to keep it simple. But if your the kind of guy that can shimy up a tree lickedy split by all means try it. Could even make the cougar believe it is another cat in that tree but remember that cat won't come in if he feels you have the upper hand |
