Elusive little kitty cat
« on: July 09, 2016, 03:16:41 PM »
Anyone have some advice on the most effective setup to nab this sucker? It's been on my camera a number of times, though I've seen it once while bear hunting last year, but only out of the corner of my eye. At the time I was using a mouth caller - not very well in my opinion - when he came up from behind me. Since I saw something tan and moving I moved fairly quick, fearing that I may have been on the unfortunate end of a larger critter. Needless to saw it was smaller and took off in a hurry instead.
The spot I have him in is about a 30-45 yard shot. Setup an e-caller (what's the best type of call?) and decoy around there and wait or is there a better option? I'll be using a 22 hornet for this guy. The spot seems pretty good since there are plenty of bear, deer and this guy on camera. Disregard the date and time - the battery died and I failed to reset it. The pic is actually from early June this year.

I got my last one by leaving a bag of Taco Bell on the front seat of my truck.
He was gorging on a Supreme Burrito when I showed up
Then he met my .44 mag as he tryed to bail.

Well they like to follow me, I think they know I'm allergic to them.
