Thats a good option

Not a bad price. Thanks Trapper155.

As for calling bobcats, 1 thing with mouth calls (which I like) is that the sound is coming from myself, potentially leading the bobcat right to me, but if I move at all it might see me easier than if I had a remote caller.

I need to come up w/ a way to secure my electronic callers control pad. I bumped it tonight & it fell outta the tree stand. Nothing has come in yet, but it might be stirring them up in the area. Tomorrow night I might try the 'cat in heat' call

Hang onto that remote good and tight when you’re playing the cat in heat. I’d hate to see it respond when you bend over to pick it up! If it gets to riding your leg, it’s just best to let him finish

Yep.

I'll see what I can come up with to secure it so it's stable&convenient.

Hopefully I can call 1 in starting 12/26, though I'd rather fill my tag trapping.

We can’t use e-callers here for cats, only mouth calls. E-callers make it to easy I guess.

If e-callers made it too easy, everyone in the states that allow them would fill their tags every year . ..and I can assure you that doesnt happen. Ask me how I know

good luck aje i hope you pinch one

Apparently we have a rather large population of cats because you can set an e-caller out and turn it on and before you even get to your stand a cat is there, lol. This happens on every call setup.

That's probably not uncommon as sneaky as they are

I don't expect it to be easy, but I'll see if I can figure out how to call 1 in.

I have a moto rabbit decoy that should help.

I'll probably use buckshot.

Play a prey noise for 20-30 minutes then the bobcat in heat for 20-30. Then move locations and repeat. I’d switch to a rifle as well. My experience is only calling lions but this technique is pretty effective. The big males might not commit to prey sounds but they can’t resist the love sounds (in my case I use lion in heat). Try it over tracks in the snow if you can, it’s effective for lions, I’ve shot 4 and called 2 more in, in the last two years

Hunt with traps.

I will, mostly. But may supplement it w/ hunting.

20-30 minutes of prey distress and then 20-30 of the bobcat in heat. Play continuously. The switch in sounds half way through is for two reasons. Sometimes they hang up and then when the sound switches they can’t resist and some cats won’t come into prey noises but will immediately come into sweet love sounds. Motion furball decoy if you have one, put the speaker as far from you as you can; the entire length of the cord or 50 yards in front for a wireless. Switch to a rifle so extend your shot distance. Set up over fresh tracks if there is snow. I wouldn’t hesitate to use a house cat in distress if you have one before the bobcat in heat. My experience is solely calling lions in but I’ve called in 6 lions in the last two years using what I described.

Call areas where you have traps.

I'm guessing lots of cats are called in without being seen. Day or night a thermal scanner is a big plus.
