Is there anywhere nearby where you get up a bit higher to get a better vantage point?
I just keep thinking about the member on here that called one in and the cat was in his blind spot for potentially most of the entire 20+ minutes he was calling. Someone get me my brown pants...

Ha! I was calling for bears a few years back and had one approach (pretty darn close) behind me, and ever since then my predator calling kit has a little bicycling mirror that I can hold in my hand and see behind me without having to turn my head or whole body. Funny thing is every time I use it, i'm reminded of the phrase "Objects [in mirror] are closer than they appear"...

Try a E caller with motorized tail or wing or something to catch there eye about 50 yards from you. There’s a saying curiosity kills the cat.

:yeah: I called a cat in that walked right by me at about 12' cuz it was concentrating on my decoy, didn't even care when he winded me, just paused then continued towards the decoy.
I'll be calling in the tree farm when elk season is done. Goodluck

It sounds like it has a kill in the area. I would be more concerned about it moving on than getting busted. Maybe set up within a couple hundred yards of your cam in a spot where you can get some distance from your e-caller.

Thanks for the ideas and input everyone. I was able to get out there after work yesterday and set up with an e-caller and spinning tail for about an hour and had no luck. Also haven't seen him or the deer on my camera for two days so I think he's moved on to a different deer-killing spot.
