-Those beasts are the absolute masters of stealth it sounds like. Makes me worry about calling in coyotes without something to my back
Coyotes won't be hanging close in the immediate area, if they suspect cougar working around, because coyote no like them . I called in a Cougar once while calling coyote by a large sheep herd . watching on the thermal, it will give you the willies how they glide around smooth.
I was out 4 nights ago trying to get a sight on cougar that sent two horses to the Vet. and put one of them down just that morning . I am good at what I doing, I stealthed in the area quiet, I chirped once every half hour and did constant thermal scanning for hours and then switched area's for the last hour went to a couple of cottontail distress to maybe see something moving. I Did not catch a single glimpse of Cougar anywhere in that area, and there was still large smear pools of blood still all over that spot where the horses were jumped and Cougar were trying to make kill just that morning.
No telling where they are from day to day with there route they work . most likely was ( 1, or possible 2 ) young starving Cougar try for the horse meat, as I dont see a full grown experienced cat screwing that up, unless one of the horses got in a lucky kick or bite.
