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.

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.

I hope my unit opens .
I got a calling spot all picked out,ready to rock.
I just hope kitty is hungry,and in range to hear the call.

I'll give you all a tip.
Pull your foxpro or electronic caller out ,give it a testing before heading out.
Recently pulled mine out yesterday.
Remote is jacked up.
Battery was dead on remote,no big deal right.
Pop a new one in,now it automatically comes on as soon as the battery hits the terminals. The screen doesn't display any of the sounds. I can still play the sounds,have no clue which sound I'm playing. It's like working the remote blind.
I can't shut off the remote unless I remove the battery.
Power button works to play sounds,if I hold it down to shut down.
It's will say ....
Release button to shut off,then I do that and it stays on.
Left the battery out , overnight on the remote. Now it turns off/on.
Display is still screwed on the sounds,going blind man here.

My advise is ,check your batterys,do a function test before your miles from home.

I got mine out a couple weeks ago to go on a bear hunt and the batteries in the remote were dead as well as corroded. Put new batteries in and it worked fine. I wonder if you guy a new remote and somehow sync it. I’ve never looked into it.

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.

I went out calling yesterday. I had two cats on camera within 10 hours of each other in the same area I hunt. 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?

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.

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.

[jasnt]

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

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

[Deer slayer]

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