I have tried predator calling for cougs with minimal luck (I havent seen one...who knows if one came in or not), but I know its legal to bait for them, so my question is, what bait would you use?
I read on here somewhere someone tied some chickens in a tree and they disappears over the weekend...
What other methods would u use? I can figure some sort of fresh meat, hanging in a tree...but thats bout it...

I found it interesting as well, when I first saw this topic,then I went and looked in the regs, and sure enough it doesn't say jack about bait, when it comes to cougars...

Cats are not scavengers so giving them something to kill and eat would be the ticket and that would be where your problem lies.
That's what I was thinking too.

Are their habits so different from say leopards or jaguars?
I was wondering the same thing. That's the main way they hunt leopards in Africa. Dead critter hung in a tree. It'd be pretty damn cool to hunt cougars that way... if it viable and legal.

Wow this is an OLD topic, One I have looked into quite a bit. I have a much different perspective now, but it's not something I want to discuss on an open forum in this state. :) Seems like anyting I enjoy doing eventually becomes illegal. :(:chuckle: remember when getting screwed was fun :bash:
