Thought I would share this! I have been running a trap line this year, and while out and about checking traps, I was seeing a lot of cougar tracks. I purchased an over the counter harvest objective tag for cougar, because well... ya never know.. Last week after checking traps, I thought while I was out, I might try to do a little calling. After setting up, and running the Foxpro for not even a min, To my amazement and total suprise, this cougar come slinking out, putting the sneak on my call!! I had to have set up right on top of her, I shot her at 15yrds away!!! First cougar I have ever gotten, and as far as I know, Kinda like hitting the lottery!!!!

Incredible. I've heard of it happening before, but I'm sure that is a very rare experience.

 

[goofy elk]

Indeed, a rare experience!^^^^^^^^^^^

CY, your only the 4th or 5th guy I know of in 30+ years of hunting cat's
I know of pulling this off..

I'm guessing the Range Creek unit?

 

[cedaryotes]

lol yes sir, nine mile unit! I'm going to attribute this cat to dumb *ss luck! Or as your signature says "even a bling squirrel finds a nut once and awhile"

 

[wyogoob]

That's the 2nd damnest thing I ever seen

Good job!

That's pretty cool!! In all my years of calling bears, bobcat and coyotes in the mountains we've only called in two, one incidental and one on purpose. Too bad we didn't have cougar tags at the time.
Pretty cool feat to go out with a tag in your pocket, call for cougar and actually get one. Congrats.

Thank you all! I am feeling very blessed to have gotten such an elusive beautiful critter!

I wonder if you were by a kill site. We came upon a fresh kill and set up hoping for a bobcat and started calling. It wasn't but a couple minutes and we spotted a lion puzzy-footing towards us through the pinyon/junipers. He hung up about 30 yards in full view for about 20 minutes before he sauntered off. Pretty freakin' cool.
That was up Card canyon below the archery range up Logan canyon.

That in and of itself is pretty cool to watch a cat for that long! It very well could have been close to a kill site because the area is full of wintering deer.

You just saved the lives of about 250 deer.

I salute you.

It seems to me that lions, wolves, and 'yotes are very responsive to being called. They have very sensitive hearing.

Dogs and cats are the same way.

These mammals are all territorial and when they hear a call they respond to the challenge.

It seems like your lion was stalking your traps.

Then the hunter became the hunted.

All in all this was a really great job.

BS,

Lions don't hunt people, Nor do they 'stalk' traps.

Lions get hungry and will do whatever it takes to get food.

Same as my cat.
