Mountain Lion Calling

[Muleys 24/7]

Remember you guys, like the big cat trainer said ( and I didn't remember) don't turn your back on a cat.Keep an eye out behind you... I was talking with Sawfish yesterday about X10,X9A and X12 and remembered and encounter of sorts in X9A 2006. A friend and I were riding our quads up McGee Mtn. We had passed some doe's on one of the switchbacks. The next switch back two mtn. lions came from the uphill side of me , across the road running down hill in the direction of the deer. They were sub adult size. I think I ruined their stalk on those deer I passed. I thought ha ha too bad ! I have a friend in Ut. who's bother was riding a quad and a deer went flying right in front of him and he slammed on the brakes and a couple seconds later a mtn. lion came off the upside of the hill and plowed right into him and knocked him off the quad ! The lion got up and continued down the hill towards the deer. I don't think he's lying to me. He's not a BS'er. That would of freaked the heck out of me.

LOL, What a story about the lion knocking him off. Thats probley worse odds than winning the lotto.

Lol ! Might be right ! His brother told me the same story and then some when they packed me in with all their mules on a Ut, Book Cliffs Roadless elk hunt in 2009. I believe him even more than his bro and his friend that was with him was with us there too. He said no bs also. I don't think anybody would believe me ! Nobody believed me about the one on my back biting my neck but my best friend was there to verify !

I was first successful in calling mountain lions unaware in archery season. I was using calf elk calls by hand. Later I as successful calling them with wounded rabbit coyote calls by hand and recorded tape audio. If you are going to be calling I would highly suggest that you learn the sounds that lions make and it is not the lion scream in the movies that I hear in the woods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mUvMu7trj8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZxX2jgkEUs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM2Sw8dsMDQ I have heard these many times in the woods and been stalked both day and night alone. I have had two near deadly encounters with my children along. Be careful my be a silly thing to say but please do.

While driving to my bow hunting area I spotted 3 mt. lions in the road right in front of me. It was only a short distance from where I park. Some other hunters drove up and I told them about the lions. They said they had seen the tracks in the road. About half hour later, while hiking into my hunting area, I heard a shot. The fallowing weekend I ran into one of them and he said they had shot one of the lions after talking with me. It came to a cow elk call and was only 40 yards from the caller, at a run, when it was shot. 100 lb. male. I have had 2 bears come in while calling for turkey.
