I've got a new Library of Cougar Calling sounds available!

[Kain]

Very nice sounds. 
I got a response while using the Sub-adult whistle.  At the time I thought it was a dog (houses and dogs were close)...after listening to the Adult Female sound, Im not so sure.  It didnt sound exactly the same more of "hoot" than a "baying" sound.

A hoot is a dead giveaway! They make LOTS of sounds people don't realize are Cougar!

[Kain]

Not real sure what it was.  Like I said I thought it was a dog.  I would whistle, it would bark.  It did that three times and then nothing.

Do you have the tutorial? I put a version of a "Woof" on there. I've heard that in the timber (22 yards behind me) and WT has a great version of it for their callers.

I need to order these. my Foxpro sound's cougar sound's are ok but could be better. two more day's then i will start calling. if the Rain quit's. Rick Rick

[carpsniperg2]

are you able to put them on cassette tapes, buy chance? i always like the fox pro over the johny but the johny i have is a lot clearer with the sound up higher.

[bearmanric]

I have the south Rainier permit.carpsniperg2 were is your's. i heard steve cougar calling last year in Arizona He know's his stuff. He Had one worked up there real good. Rick

my late tag is klickitat.
dam fish and game took my dog tag *censored*s now i got to work for a cat

[rainshadow1]

carpsniperg2, I'm sure somebody could figure out how to do that with personal stereo equipment. I can't spend the time to make long loops and record them onto tapes. That's kind-of a labor of love! I'll sell you the CD though!

[carpsniperg2]

i am sure someone could do it for sure we have some for the fox pro we use and i know they make a few for my johny but i figured i would ask a cd would not do me any good unless i could park my truck and pop it in  and i don't think that will work very well

Impressive collection Steve! These sounds are very clean.

For those that want to put them on a cassette it would be very simple to copy and paste a loop in Audacity. Maybe I should do a tutorial.

Anyway.. great job Steve.

I do have your tutorial.  What happened was I was walking up a road and spotted a doe up ahead.  I had been wondering how other animals would react to the sub-adult whistle because it doesn't sound very threatening.  I decided to give it a try on the doe.  I let out a whistle and she just perked up to see where the sound was coming from.  I was well hidden so I gave her another whistle.  She didnt seem to concerned but walk off the edge of the road.  That is when I heard the response.  It was really far away and sounded like a dog bark.  So I gave another whistle and it barked back.  Did it again, same thing.  One more time and no response.  Just figured it was a dog so I moved on.   Now Im wondering if it wasnt a cat answering and possibly headed my way.  You guys might be able to hear a major difference but to me some of the cougar sounds are very much like other animals.  The hoot and adult female sound really close to dogs sounds.  The sub-adult whistle sounds very birdy/rodent and sometime even like a young elk chirp to me.  I am sure I will get better at telling the difference now that I know what to listen for.  Saving my pennies again to buy the rest of your sounds probably wont be till after Christmas though.

The whistle is very much like a young elk chirp.

On the tutorial I don't introducethe male communicative sound, I just slip it in when I tell the story of the one 22 yards behind me. You'll hear the audio signature change real unexpectedly, and a chirpy "Woof" then the audio changes back and the story continues. It's quite doggie, only more rasp and huff with a little chirpy edge to it.

Just got all 10 sounds loaded on the E-caller
These sound awesome. For the price you won't beat them.
By far the best cougar sounds out there. Steve you have a winner here. Keep up the good work.

Now if this rain would go away
