Deer slayer:
I didn’t explain that right. When I say I had the first cat on camera within two days, I meant I had it twice in two days and when I hunted it, it was within 3 hours of the second time.

No way it’s the same cat. The first target cat was there just under two days prior. I called to the first cat 3 hours after having it on camera. Two different places. If it came I didn’t see it. Fawn distress and then whistles. I went to the cat I had now 12 hours earlier had had a coyote come in. Same calling sequence.

Maybe the mid 70’s weather didn’t help. I don’t know. Maybe one of them came and I didn’t see it. I had fresh bear tracks in the road which is about a 100 yards from the camera.  Did that cause a problem?  Who knows.

So on the cougar whistles do you let the caller just roll?  Is it weird for your call to call for 2 minutes of straight whistles?  Do you do like 2 then mute and then 2 more and mute?

One thing I have learned is there is no such thing as too much calling with cougars. When I'm calling it sounds obnoxious. Full volume and nonstop vocals.

When the cougar starts talking back you’ll see they also whistle a lot.  Before long you’ll start second guessing yourself and start to wonder if it’s a bird. It’s not

I got a few spots with cougar.
I'm waiting for September 1 to see if any unit is open up here.

Shouldn’t they all be open?  I say that without checking online.

not if they have already met the quota with vehicle kills or nuisance removal deaths

Gotcha. I didn’t read that right then. I thought they were still going to give all the GMU’s a season. They would extend the quota more if most were killed by WDFW.   My bad. We will all get screwed then.

My guess is they will all be open on the first but there is a chance some won’t.

Yeah, battery powered stuff doesn't store well... I'll never learn!

I understand at least once area isn't going to open at all, but I haven't looked for myself yet.

LOTS of sightings being reported, all over the State. Lots. No shortage. I really hate management by politics.

You’re right, 564 battleground never opened. What the heck?

Deer slayer:
On the Fox Pro are you full volume or like half?
