Wish I could get over there... or anywhere that's still open.

Found an excellent spot to call, tomorrow im going back with a friend. Going to do the same routine we used successfully last year. He will sit on cliff above me with birds eye view, and ill hide real well down below. Ill use the same call i used last year, just for good juju.

Good luck. I have called in 2 in the last 3 months. No shot yet.

Thanks to Steve from Rainshadow. I purchased his call sounds and seminars, learned a lot. Called hard got smarter and kept learning. Finally this last Thursday (23rd aug) had two stroll/crawl in just before dark. It was a shock! Kinda like calling coyotes, you expect it and hope for it but you're still suprized when they show up. Except it's 100 times more gratifying. I probably passed on dozens of coyotes

Congratulations! The pay off for one heck of a lot of hard work!

I am sure Steve will amble by soon with his .02 worth before long.

Best regards

That’s awesome! Calling a cat is on my bucketlist. Which call of his were you using if you don’t mind me asking? The whistle or a distress?

I used alittle distress but mostly whistles I believe the whistles caused them to come right in. The entire ordeal was pretty bazar. I might post it on predator hunting in the next few days.

I dont mind sharing at all. It is so difficult calling lions VS coyotes. There is no comparison. I did 60-70 stands, hundreds of hours. There will be few people compared to coyote hunters who have success and therefore give up. I admit that this could have happened on the first stand but it didn't for me.

Very well done, looks like a nice cat.

I have called in two using a Weems Wild call, Duo Tone and a Lohman MVP-3 adjusted to sound very coarse at the long range setting on the hand call. Called in Deer and elk with the same call, several black bear. To animals, I think that the sound is like a new born calf or fawn.

Of course, I never had a tag for any of these large big game animals. Bear get quite confused when they come in hard charging and then realize that there is nothing there to eat or take away from another animal.

N. Arizona and in the 4 corners area of Az has more black bears than you could imagine, lions also.

gBo, that is an accomplishment of a life time! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
Now, if you could call in a bear and get him, that would be the icing on the cake.

You will kill 10 bears before you kill another lion, more than likely. Browning BAR in 30/06 is a good black bear gun or a 270 loaded with 150-160g nosler partitions.

g_Bo, this needs its own post! Good job man, good job!

G_Bo is one of the guys who decided he wanted to, and then he put the work in to make it happen. Really REALLY pleased with your success! Way to go!

I agree.

Garry earned that mountain lion. Very happy it all came together like it did for him! Just wish I'd a been there .

Feb 8th thru 18th 2019 is our yearly Oregon Cougar camp. In the Fort Rock area. I have been out a few times this month Tracking in fresh snow and calling. Tomorrow I will be out again.

Went out yesterday. Spent a few hours hiking up to where i wanted to call, but the wind was howling. Tried to wait it out but ended up leaving. Got down the mountain by cutting through a large chunk of private land i have permission to hunt. Found a few sets of lion tracks there. Checked in with land owner and was told i dont need to ask, the permission is permanent. Going to go in there tomorrow and do some calling.

Sweet! Git 'Em!
