fair-chase, your triple is actually my biggest fear when I'm calling. The woods have a tendency to get silent for no reason long after the activity starts when I'm on a stand. Just for my warm and fuzzy, they have all growled at you? I don't think I'm very good at calling a darn thing yet but knowing myself if one snuck in close enough to be an immediate threat, I'm toast. Also, which rain shadow set did you get?
On topic, how does being close to fresh (within 72 hours) sign up your success rate?
30 yards, loss of motor control, moving cat...have you considered using a shotgun? Sounds like a good set up for some 00 buckshot.
wraithen, the triples seem to be (for my area) a momma and the teenagers. They can be really unpredictable.
I'm starting to really like the unit I was in last saturday. I know there's an elk herd in the area because of scat. I know there is cougar because of scat. I know there is coyote because of tracks. Just gotta find out where the bears like to play and I have the makings of a predator grand slam! (The coyote substitutes wolf until they show up and are legal ) Looks like between rainshadow and rick and a big game rifle my tax return is completely spent!Anybody got any advice for the guy who turns possum when what he's hunting for finds him and he gets a case of the possum? (Adrenaline screaming through the blood but the inability to move a single muscle.)
I know a area that seems to have a few cats in it in western wa where I wanna give try coyote hunting...chances of a cat coming to coyote calls?
Clancy, out of curiousity what unit area? I'm heading out friday since I got the day off from work and the wife approved.
I would think that if you are going through all of that just set up in the blind on the edge and put the decoy/caller out in the clearing.

righto. thanks kain. i wasn't exactly fond of the idea of them coming into one.
Anyone ever have any luck with a cougar-in-heat sound?
I just though about chopping this:onto my mp3 card and playing it out of the speakers. Not a good idea I take it?
