We have had several sightings of a cougar lately, the last was yesterday. I have called in coyotes and bobcats, but never a lion. Anyone have any advice on the best practice to try and get a shot on this beautiful nuissance?

Big cats will have a 20 mile home range. Have called up a few, but being where they are at the right time is tough. They are VERY patient and wary so you usually have to call for a LOOOOONG time to get them to show.

Try using a "visual" attractant combined with the call, has worked for me on bobcats many times. I have used anything from a chicken wing, flagging tape, to a pie pan hanging in the wind.
Just a thought, never called in a big cat, that I know off.

In my experience, Cougars like muscles and money. If you have those two things and perhaps a nice car, Cougars are the easiest thing in the world to bag.
How come everybody I meet is a deer hunting expert?

Never used photoshop and never will. Photoshop is for liberals.

Jeez Aggie, that looks like more than a big cat lure!
