From what I have gleaned from listening to mountain lion trappers....castor based lures, bobcat gland, skunk based lures

I have absolutely no clue, but I’d guess a cat is a cat. If it catches a bobcat I’d think it’d catch a cougar.

A lot of good bobcat lures will attract big cats too. I get a few pics every year from folks using my bobcat lures. Sure glad I don't have to deal with releasing them.

Got a couple of pics on our trail cams and I'd like to get more. The one fella I showed a pic to said it would go easy 220lbs. I've never seen one in the wild. Still getting deer,elk and moose on the camera so I suspect he might be a refugee from the fire across the border.

I typically average about 1 accidental lion catch a season. Always a a coyote set dirt hole or flat set. Coyote urine, any of Grahams coyote lures. Also road kill deer

For reference, the biggest verified cougar weight I have seen was 206 lb 12 oz. That was caught with dogs in Alberta, back in the late 80s, a friend of my dad's shot it with a bow. At that time it was tied for #1 Pope and Young (later beat by a cat out of either Idaho or Wyoming) and #14 Boone and Crockett. And he was jumped straight off a deer kill, that weight was with a belly full of deer meat.
