No I didn't. Somewhere near 450-500!

Or 130-150 it's one of those

Exactly lol so probably a solid 120 plus at least. All I know is I didn't want to pick it up to many more times for pictures.

I think of it like a lottery, you can go out and do your thing and do it well many many times and not get it done, making you question if you're even doing it right, if all that internet advice you got was worth even reading or looking at.

Then someone goes out and makes it look easy, then you really begin to question your skills.  There's a reason hunting guides aren't calling in cougar for clients.

Fact is it just has to all come together, the right cat, the right time, right place, the right setup..

I'm convenced if those things are right, its not all that difficult to call one in.

As with the lottery, the more you play the higher your odds. Calling in a cougar dense area really increases your odds.

Moral of the story?  Get out and call, even if it's a sick day!  :chuckle:    :tup:

Mouth call. The plastic kind with the rubberband inside. Bought it years ago at the sportsmans show. From the guy that used to show the video of the does running to come save the fawn. Never worked for me. I think they don't tell you those does on the video are Sitka Blacktail.  I've had it in a miscellaneous box for so many years I can't remember and now I can't find it. Cleaned my rig and washed my clothes and it's gone. I'm wondering if I dropped it in the woods. The hole thing feels like an out of body experience.

That's awesome, I have the same call, use it as a coaxer. About the time you get over the "out of body experience" you'll get her back from the taxidermist and it starts all over, everyday you'll look at the mount and say" did that really happen"? Congrats again, it's an awesome experience for sure.
