Greetings Rainshadow1, are your cougar calls downloadable to the Shockwave? Would really be interested in bending your ear over a cup of coffee sometime, seeing how we're practically neighbors.

Are you using hand calls or electronics? I would love to try it, but don't have an e-call. My dad is up by Sacheen Lk, so I hunt around there a lot.

Hey Eburg! Hate Coffee, but let's hunt your spots sometime! Love to! (Got anything up there open after Dec 31?) My sequences are MP3 data files, the shockwave handles them just fine.

Hey johral, I have a place on Davis! Going to be taking my boat to Sacheen some this summer, tubing and looking for bass spots! E-calls are almost necessary. Not 100% but awful close. Lions all over Pend Orielle cnty.

Hey all you other guys,

Deer/Elk are winding down, I'm getting fired up to run a few Cougar stands!


I posted a couple new Call-in Stories on my page, they're O23 and O24.

Still looking for YOUR stories! Please send them to me!


Also, lost a few pictures... if you have a story on my page and your pics are gone, I'd love to get them from you again! Thanks!

Looks like my paypal buttons on the website were goofed up... and it LOOKS like they're fixed now... PLEASE Let me know if you're trying to get sounds or calls and something doesn't work!

I called in a cougar 2 weekends ago. I could hear vocals but could not see him. Everytime I used the whistle call, the cat would respond.

My first cat did that, echoed every whistle... walked right up behind me!

I also have had whistled returned. Also Wuffs. Not sure if the GROWLS that I have heard were meant for my caller/sounds or for ME (busted?).

Probably both! It was responding to the call, but you were intruding!

Hi Dad!

Hey Buddy! When are they going to make you a Youth Seller so you can sell that knife you made?!?!



Just posted two more good stories from Western Washington!

Stories O25 and A21 are bran-fresh as of today!

Getting up in the a.m. to hit unit 113. If the snows not too bad im planning on staying at least 3 days.

Is Unit 113 still open ?

Good luck! I'm ready to read another call in story!

Yes sir it is. Went over today to a spot ive never been to. Did 3 sets, no customers. But it was a good day. Never seen so many deer anywhere besides private agricultural land. Area i was in was flat out crawling with whitetail, it was unreal. And the odd thing is, only cut 2 sets of yote tracks and 1 set of lion tracks. With the absurd number of deer in there, i would think the area would be full of lions, wolves, yotes and bobs. But for whatever reason, i saw very little evidence of predators. This spot just made it onto my short list of to-do deer scouting areas. Was ready to spend 3 or 4 days lion hunting there, but work called and ruined my plans. Back home now.

Went back out today. 75 mile drive to same spot. Man, i was falling through snow up to mid thigh, but deer were still in there. Nowhere lower for them to go. Set up and called for an hour, then did some contact whistles, waited 10 minutes then called it. Before leaving i circled the area. Found a smoking hot set of bobcat tracks that snuck into the thickest cover in front of me. Im pretty certain i called it in, it busted me and snuck out. If ida had my preferred scenario of a hunting partner set up 100 or so yards from me i think it would have been a successful hunt. Nobody seems motivated enough to go with me in the deep of winter and fight the snow though.
