Anyone do it? What tactics do you use? Distress calls? Tracking? Solo or with a buddy?
I'm looking at getting into it, and trying to figure out my approach. Could be a lot of fun to hunt something that can hunt you back!
Let me know when you do figure out the frequency. I'd like to go hunt em with you
I have seen quite a bit of cougar sign in most of the area's I hunt. Mostly tracks, but I also saw some enormous cougar crap near Springfield. Bigger than any dump I ever took that's for sure LOL!
A guy we spoke to while scouting another area near Lebanon, saw a 100-130 pounder cross the road in front of his truck, about 30 minutes after we had spotted a coyote cross the same road in front of our truck, in the same area.
The cougar population (like the coyotes) is getting out of hand due to the banning of hunting them with hounds many years back.
Here's a track I came across while scouting. I think it's a cougar(?). Different area than the huge scat, but also outside of Springfield.
Sounds like a good time. I hope you know I was not serious about the frequency thing, give us a break. I imagine hunting cougar is pretty intense or can be. I was stalking a deer archery hunting one time when a cougar (screamed?) (Not sure what the proper word is) and it sounded quite close. Im sure it was probably watching me stalk its deer and I couldn't see him. Of course the deer took off like they do
Understood. My family is pretty "hard core" into hunting like that. Although I have been known to road hunt for archery a few times
This is a dog track...

Huh. I was going by the picture in the following link, and others like it, when thinking it was a cougar track. Didn't think there would be any domestic dogs around where I found this, and thought it was awfully big for a coyote.

I will study the link you provided. Thanks!
