Title: another question for the cougar experts
Post by: DoubleJ 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?

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?
