another question for the cougar experts
« on: December 20, 2011, 03:29:57 PM »
If you were in western wa.in an area that held deer and elk and could only use a fawn bawl/fawn in distress OR an elk calf call/calf in distress, which would you pick and why?  Is one more effective than the other?

Which one do you have more confidence in?  Go with that one.  It's not soo important the type of sound as it is your ability to convey real emotion and one that you have fiath in.

not no expert but the main thing is to find some sign and hunt that area ... just not easy to find sign on the wetside unless we get some snow .

Was going to download the sounds online and cut and splice them into a set and put on an SD card and play it through my MP3 player.  I can't find an elk calf in distress call though so, I'm going with 10 minutes of a fawn locator bleat with some pauses mixed in, then a 2 minute silence, then 10 minutes of a fawn in distress, 2 minute silence, then 3 minutes of a cougar growl and 2 minutes of a cougar challenge growl.  repeat.  Thoughts?

Anyone?  Should I modify that call sequence at all?  Also going to throw together 30 minutes of cougar in heat
