Quote:I use Vole squeaks sound on about half volume on any coyotes that hang up way out there. At least 50% of the time Vole Squeaks brings them in closer.Vole Squeaks is one of my pre-set sounds so I can switch to it quickly.
Bob, I was doing some calling Saturday night in a spot of I have killed several cats and one fox. Also called another fox another time with no shot.
Anyway as I was setting out the caller I picked up eyes in the brush at the edge of the pasture.
I started it low on baybee cottontail and it only seemed to glance my way. It never moved in 10 minutes other than to move it's head. I knew the eyes were too bright to be a rabbit, and it was being to still to be a fox or coon. At the 5 minute mark I changed to nutty nut hatch and still nothing. I was certain it was bobcat, but it was a few feet into the brush and I couldn't 100% identify it. Then I switched to vole squeaks.
Instantly I got a reaction with it raising it's head to look and moved slightly. Ok, he likes that. Few seconds later it starts to move, and slips into the field in plane view. A yellow house cat!
I went out to pick up the caller, and sat watching. I walked to the far corner of field where I had called a bobcat before and started calling with nutty nuthatch again. within seconds I saw eyes in the woods and this time it was an actual bobcat. Took him about 10 minutes to work in, but I got him.
Anyway, the vole squeaks was the ticket to move he house cat, and I had the same thing happen one time when it actually was a hung up bobcat.
