Mtn. Lion Calling

[Carrot Farmer]

After dismal Fall Buck & Elk hunting, we’ve decided to go back in December for cat hunting…. We had more cat pics than Buck pics on trail cams

Question:

What call set ups do you recommend for calling in Mtn lions?

If you search the topic with some @roosiebull comments on them, you'll get some great starting points.
By chance, are you hunting open country or timber? If open country, I'd recommend waiting til the deer hit their Winter ground and spend several days glassing the periphery. I like cliffy country. Cats seem to like walking edges and its usually open. If thick stuff, calling is the best and really lone option. Rainshadow calls YouTube is plum full of stories as is his website.

I tried using a predator call for bears a few years ago and had a cat come in. You need to set up with really good visibility or a safe backside, as my encounter led to suddenly realizing a cat had gotten to about 25 yards behind me before I saw it. I would also consider a tree stand or saddle setup.
