Interesting how much people's experience varies on the same subject. I'll bet half the cats I call come on the run like a hard charging coyote.
I set up in a harvested corn field once, set my call out in front of me, maybe 80 yards away, and I was sitting in front of some corn stalks, all this in the middle of a field. I'd no more than turned the call on, when a bobcat came running by me, only a few yards away, and literally jumped on top of the call. I've had several come running in like that. I've also had several not show themselves until it was almost too dark to see them.
