ADMIN can we put a sticky on this? Once the late season ends Im sure a lot of people are going to switch gears to cougars.

Actually can we throw cougars in a different section? Maybe with the bears?

I think this one is fine as just a normal topic as there has been lots of these post threw out the years. Cougar is classified as other game and is fine in this section

The biggest producer for us has been the fawn distress. I know of them being called in with a lot of different calls. Just like calling any animal they have to be in the area, in the right mood, and your setup be right.

Fawn calls work great, I called a cat in 2009 on August 1st.

where do you guys like to set up...big timber? dog hairs? clear cuts? old skid roads?...i know theres cats around but i dont ever see any sign and not sure where to start

Is there an elk herd you can find? Sometimes they like to follow the herds around. What would be their food of choice for your area? There's at least 3 near me that have been hanging around a river following deer and occasionally down to the pastures where the elk hang out. The cats seem to have a habit of approaching from back and forth through a crosswind. I've heard one of the best ways to set up for them is to have the decoy/call upwind of where the cat is likely to approach from and downhill from the approach. The cat should sneak from downwind and then they like to pounce down (easier than pouncing uphill). And the shooter would be crosswind.
