Buying her drinks doesn't hurt, nor does chatting her up.

Try yelling "Here Kitty Kitty", this has worked for me a few times and a big bag of Friskies treats keeps them under control while taking aim...

I would try a little bait maybe a chicken or ? Cats are smart and need something to temp them out of hiding. Now as for cougers I would just yell "ladies night free drinks" they'll come runnin........

Steve goes to the Game Farm up here and listens to the kitties...and then goes to the woods and kills them

He makes some calls and some recordings for e calls,but has a lot of info on his site.He answers questions on some of the predator hunting forums too.

Make a sound like a house cat in heat.

I know that cougars are visual hunters and the wind does not matter all that much. Be prepared to sit still for at least an hour.

Go listen to a cougar in heat.Not near as tough sounding as a house cat.Kind of like a bird chirping

My favorite cougar call: "Dang, my taxes are going to be over 650K again this year."

Give your wife/girlfriend some meat tenderizer, tell her it is the latest perfume on the market then take her camping.

Pick an ill fitting Polo shirt. Pop the collars on it. Bathe in some cologne and wear your baseball cap backward. When you're out in the wild proclaim that you and your frat brutha' are out trolling. Seems to work for all of my denegerate friend .

Cougars are not hard to call in. It just takes a little longer and you have to make sure one is near by. Send me a PM and I will be happy to explain my methods, which involve a fox pro game call and a trail cam.

Nah. that's no fun! put some Kat-nip in your buddies pack and sleeping bag, etc..... then just watch him.

I've heard about soaking your clothes in blood, bloody steaks, all sort of bating tricks. Distress calls should work great. There aren't as many out there as yotes and they are much more weary than dogs. But they can't resist movement... If you have a rabbit distress call and electric rabbit decoy you might do well. There is a lot of info out there. I've never called one in successfully but I'm guessing I've never got close enough to call one in either.

I feel like the rabbit decoy and distress call would be best though. Putting the electric rabbit decoy in a field or meadow thats fairly open, get yourself a nice 75-100yd shot lined up and start calling. The most honest hunters will admit they bagged their cougar while deer hunting and had a cougar tag to fill. I've stumbled across a few and I've heard so many other stories of people stumbling across them so maybe walking around in the woods would be a good route too. In the snow you could obviously track them pretty easy. I've seen lots of track in Sheridan where I do my walking around
