Cow Calling Cougars!

Postby rainshadow1 » 11 11, 2019 •  [Post 1]

Hey Guys,

I was invited over here to check you guys out, I thought it would be a good opportunity to put out a little feeler question.... before I get into knives and calls...

The cow call is probably the closest big game sound in the wild to the Cougar Whistle.

I want to hear stories about cow calling a Mt Lion in to your elk hunt! I'd like to post some of them on my Cougar Call-in Story page, under Accidental call-ins. I know there's a lot out there. I've heard many in passing. How many are represented here at WapitiTalk?

Welcome to the forum Rainshadow. I have seen cougars very close by, but have never cow called on in. As far as checking out the folks here, I can make it very simple for you. There are a lot of nuts and goofballs hanging out here. Check out Lefty's posts if you want a good example of both. If you pay attention you will find some great tips for hunting mixed in, but it may be a matter of sorting things out.

Ha, can't run dogs in many of the western states anymore. Ridiculous law and as a result, big cat populations have exploded. Time to learn a bit about the calling thing ;).

Checking out your web site
Dont know if this fits your genre.
I still regret not giving him a call and chasing around the desert and Mountains with him .

I haven’t read that one, although I believe I’ve heard of the author.

Sounds like a good read.


Just to clarify, I’m looking for YOUR calling stories, where a big cat showed up!
