As a point of education: If you find a cougar kill, Set up down wind a couple hundred yards with your E-caller behind you 50yrds. Turn on the Coyote challenge sequence and let it run. The Cougar may come out to run off the coyotes trying to steal its kill. I watched the Coyotes do exactly that twice. First time I saw the Cougar, The second time I did not. But when I went in to check for tracks, The Cougar had come out and the Coyote did run off. I believe the Coyote are testing the water, If the Cougar doesn't protect its kill. They go in to eat.

I've found many kills, but it's funny, none of the local kills I've run across have been cached! All were completely eaten already. A couple looked like the deer exploded, but nothing left but hide and bones! I found two in AZ that were cached, the call-in I mentioned above was on a kill, I wasn't close enough.
If I had shot straighter, That Female with un spotted kitten would have been my third Official Cougar while hunting Cougar. Missed it twice standing broadside at 300 yards. Very disappointing in my shooting to say the least. 2016 Central Oregon Cougar camp is February 5th thru 15th at the regular camping spot.

I have a slight concern about taking mamma in that situation... not for survival, but for the indoctrination of the sub-adult. It's possible the 1-2yo would become a rogue without the direction of a mature cat who's been taught to fear. I dunno. Just a thought I've had.

My buddies son had his youth deer hunt this weekend. We hadn't been seeing much but had been seeing coyotes in this area. So we got bored and decided to try and call some coyotes in. So we sat down under a cedar tree that is below some horse pens. Started calling and about the ten minute mark this cat showed up sneaking in. I nudged my daughters boyfriend to alert him to it as he hadn't seen it. So he swung the rifle over, settled the cross hairs on the 260 and pulled the trigger. The cat dropped and rolled down the embankment that he was above. First shot broke his back because the cat knew something wasn't right and was starting to slink away. One more shot between the shoulders put the cat down for good. I was using a red rabbit distress call that I got from Tony Tebbe. He weighed 145# & 7'3" nose to tail. This is his first lion, he shot 2 coyotes last year and a red fox too. 260 used a 139 scenar. There wasn't much left of it on recovery.....I will try to weigh to see how much it lost.
Great story! Thank you for taking time to share it with us.

There's nothing like seeing a cat come in to a call, or even in the wild. They are so sneaky and seems like they'll never give you a shot opportunity. I've been trying to get one in for more years than I can remember. I've called them in before, but never got a shot opportunity. I went to an area last year and had them doing vocals near me, but never showed. I was about a mile away from where thus guy showed up. We are all glad to have this one. Thanks for all the "atta boy's" guys.
I'm glad to share with you guys. I hope that you guys can get one too.
If you love to work dogs, then hound hunting fits. It's pretty much a slam dunk if you've got good dogs and have some athleticism.
I'm focusing on the calling.
I prefer TOA powered calls like the FoxPro CS24. I have the Krakatoa version of the CS24. I haven't tried the new FoxPro call, shockwave or whatever. For the money I was impressed with the FoxPro Hellfire, I recommend it, and I'd buy it if I needed one right now.
There's really not much competition for FP these days.
Slam Dunk...lol maybe where your live ...
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Cat was a long way from civilization. Plus I could have got the additional cougar tag at check in, then killed the young one.

Well my caller decision was made for me today when my kids gave me a Foxpro Inferno. Don't know anything about electric callers but I am going to give it a workout.
