At first i thought i was imagining it, but then it happened again. Yup, that was a lion. So im thinking, what has that cat so excited? I grab my cougar whistle call, thinking this is a perfect opportunity to test it out, see if i can call the cat in. I hear it again on my way out the door. I get outdide and thsts when i hear my neighbor yelling for her dog. Not in a "come inside its dinner time" sort of way, this was a S.H.T.F. sort of yelling.
So i start running over there and yell "wheres momma dog!?"
Neighbor yells "she has something treed i think its a bear!"
Momma dog came hauling ass around the house same time i did, fur all on end looking crazy, never seen her like that.
I asked what tree and she showed me a big clump of trees. I didnt see anything, but i knew what was going on. I said i just heared a cougar contact whistle between these trees and my house. Ill bet the farm momma dog just treed a cougar cub and i heard the momma cougar, theres a baby coug in one of these trees and its mom is right inside the timber watching us right now, you can bet on it. Keep the dog inside tonight. So i walk back to my house and maybe 2 minutes later the neighbor calls me and says she just saw a huge cougar run through her yard heading my way.
I kept my eyes open, but told her with any luck that all this commotion will make the momma cougar think twice about walking around peoples houses, especially with her cubs in tow, and shell likely be a couple miles away tomorrow.
I really like that dog, i hope the damn cat learned its lesson

I don't get that kind of excitement in Auburn.

was out feeding a whitetail doe and next thing i knew a doe ran down off the hill at full tilt sounding like an elk. didnt stop for another 200 yards at the treeline. doe i was feeding looked up the hill and left me holding a corn tortilla and went down the field also. grabbed my biners i thought i got a glimpse of a cat in the trees.
just before dark was feeding a couple does. walked inside and a couple minutes later looked out the window and saw 2 and 1 had a rack. looked some more and saw another with a real nice rack and all 3 were mulies. spooky as all get out and the 2 whitetail does had vanished.
