Thanks guys
Started rabbit distress then went to fawn then cougar whistle and chirps

Did you pause between sounds or just let it play continuously?  I need to go get one of these deer eating cats soon!  I just got my first bobcat a few weeks ago so hoping for the big cat next.

Hunting the hunter, wow, can't imagine what that would have been like!

It's pretty awesome... until one comes in... then you'll be able to just listen to determine if you have an irregular heartbeat! You won't hear much else!!!

Pretty sure I found the reason why I haven't seen any deer on my camera for the past month

all total it was about 90 minutes of calling using a fox pro shockwave
I used jackrabbit then fawn bleats then cougar whistles and chirps in that order
I ran each sound for 15 minutes with a 3-5 minute break in between
When the cat came in it was the cougar whistles and chirps and she was maybe 4 feet to the caller which had the twirling mojo bird on top fluttering around

Great job on a nice cat. Thanks for the calling details. I've called in a bear, but no cats. Gotta work on the chirping!
