Okay so I have confirmed that there is a cougar that roams through my neighborhood and spends alot of time close to my front yard. How to I draw it in so that I can kill it. Any good calls out there?

Hope to get some pictures on a game camera I put out.

I once tried "If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?" - it didn't work though so that call is out.

You might try "Free Grand Marnier, Tecate, and Crown"..maybe she's a drinker.

Don't mention anything about kids in your call though.

And for God's sake don't kill her or we'll be hearing about you on the TV.

OH - and you damn well better post up the pics.

Thanks for the help Earl. My wife walked into the room and read over my shoulder while typing my original post and I got called words I didn't even think she knew. LOL.

It's pretty simple. You just have to be young and good looking. Cougars can't resist us.

If you have landscaping bushes set this up near your house to act as a funnel and to keep from trapping some kiddo that happens to cut through your yard.

My best cougar was 20 years my ladder.

The cougar is a difficult animal. Very mysterious, Almost mystical.
Tread light.

a good checking account balance and an American Express card work very well also.

A dead corpse tied to an elevated tree limb. Works in Africa should work here

Ive always had luck with new $100.00 bills, you just have to rattle them up. The well used ones dont have that distinct sound.



Bartender, bring me anything except brake fluid, cause I don't plan on stopping!

I believe most cougars prowl at night. Have you tried any music or a vodka & cranberry to keep them in the yard longer?

Sounds like some of them ones my friends haven't been finding.

But seriously....
How close are you to neighbors? If you are out in the country, hang a carcass on a tree about 6' off the ground. Don't just hang it by a single rope, tie it to the tree in multiple places.
If you are in town, get ready to explain that to the officers that will be there shortly after you install it in the tree...

If you have a wireless router in your house, grab a cheap wireless IP camera off ebay. After you set it up, you can move it around and watch the bait while surfing like I am right now...and power it by AC or a 6V battery.



Yeah, that is THIS REPLY I am typing on the left monitor....LOH(Lazy Old Hunter)!

Rent the movie "Ghost and the Darkness". It's must see for big cat predator hunters. I like the one where he ties a baboon to a post.

When it comes to cougars, I practice a strict catch and release policy.

My first bit of advice would be to start a new thread titled "Attracting a mountain lion." You may get advice on something besides picking up middle-aged skeezers. Good luck.
