[kukusya]

So help me to get straight. You guys hunting cougar by your self? And calling cat to come at you not decoy? Thanks

Yessir.

Thanks, make me feel a lot less about myself.

Just go for it.  You probably wont get eaten.

Just read bearpaw's 2019 thread. They climb trees just to check under cougar skirts. Don't try that at home kids.

Please advise
Where to get info/learn how to call? And who makes best calls?

Good place to start reading here.  http://www.rain-shadow.com/prod03.htm

As for which calls to use, any predator call can work.  I like calls from rainshadow, bearmanric (called my first cougar in with one of his calls) and turkeyrivercalls.com

Damn, getting ready to head to idaho tomorrow and cant find my huntonx chip for my gps.  Its always been in my center console.. maybe i tossed it on accident while cleaning my truck.  Hope the cabelas in post falls has one in stock.  I know i saw the chips the last time i was there, but that was several years ago.

My dad went out for a drive in the mountains Saturday and found fresh cougar tracks. He said the tracks looked confusing and there was possibly 2. I went out sunday morning to see if I could make sense of it and try to call one in. I found the tracks, but by the time I was up there, it was raining and 43 degrees so the snow was melting and the tracks were now around 24 hours old. It took a while to make sense but it was definitely 2 cats, roughly the same size. the stride was about 36" so not very big. They looked like they were hunting deer. There were deer tracks that were going down the road. First they would go uphill, then downhill of the road. They were traveling down zig zagging near the road. the cats were walking down the road and there was one spot where one of them left the brush and was leaping. You could see both hind leg tracks with the fronts just outside of them but right infront of them making almost a square. then 15 ft of nothing and the same print then another 15 ft. That was the first time I've seen that, so it was pretty cool.
   The snow level is too high here so there were no fresh tracks to be found, but I made a stand downhill where my sound could cover the entire mountain side. Nothing came in. Pretty typical for being a day too late. I've been out quite a few times, but mainly just waiting for some good snow. Nothing exciting happening yet.

they getting the snow we getting up here it's gonna be a sketchy hunt


I was out early this AM and it snowed way too much to see anything, if there was a track it was covered up in an hour


I still tried, but I needed the snowmobile.   Hope 105 101 stay open but I think my season my be over tomorrow 

for WA anyways.

Didn't make it out today too much snow plowing to do.
Wish I could go tommorow.I'm sure 121,or 117 will be closed.I'm going to mix a monster engery tea+lemonade+tequila at about 11 or 11:30 kiss my wife at 12 then check cougar quotas at 12:01 and get drunk cause I won't be able to go hunt cougar no more.

So, when you handcall a cougar, what average
 distance they appear? Thank you

[KFhunter]

Bango likes to call in the brush,  I like clear cuts as pictured up above.   Bango's got 2 in 2 years,  I got none.   

Ima start calling in the brush too 

They get close that way
