Calling Cougars?

Just found out once I was done by the person watching the other way and by the evidence once I was finished calling. I accidently called in a HUGE tom one spring turkey season. Very nearly ended up with that cat on my back. Never heared him come in and even watching him walk away at 15 yards, never heard a sound. Pretty impressive!!

I'm thinking about using a turkey decoy and turkey distress sounds, see how that does

I think it would be effective and I think it would be even more effective if you added movement to your decoy.

I generally have a lot of downtime every day during my modern firearm elk season and would be interested in using it to try and call in a cougar.
URL links would be great!
Thanks!

I don't know if you're gone thru the call-in-story page on my website, but it's got quite a bit of information and inspiration on the subject. I've read most everything I could find on American Lions, and reviewed them on the site also. YouTube has several pretty amazing trail cam captures for vocals! I've got some great stuff from Olympic Game Farm cats that I've turned into calling sequences, but probably the best I've seen (and heard) is a cat doing the whistle, from left to right, right in front of a trail cam. I don't have a link but you'll find it. Cool stuff!
Overall, there isn't much out there. Working on that! Priorities have me very limited now, but I still have big ideas!
