Hunting Coyote by Calling in S. California - Cougars Not Invited!! But??

<< < (2/2)

Little John:
I guess you just have to take your chances with the cougars and accept them as part of the wilderness experience, I would expect your chances of being attacked would be very small. I went after coyotes  a couple of weeks ago with no luck.   Kenneth

Just a side note on cougars here in southern California.
About two years ago my wife and I were shooting at the Bear state bow hunters range. It was close to sun set and we were the only ones on the range. Heard a noise that I kind of recognized but couldn't place. While I was going through the mental Rolodex, my wife did a real good impersonation of the noise. Out of the under brush comes three Cougar cubs. Oh now I remember that sound! My wife still laughs about the first time I ever asked her to speak louder while we were in the boonies. well we slowly backed off while keeping a normal conversational tone then watched momma cougar collect her cubs. My wife who is from Chicago still doesn't believe how rare it is to see cougar cubs in the wild.

That's a crazy story!  Cougar cubs?  Last season I had a coyote pup run up to me.  It was about 8 weeks old I'd guess.  Cute little thing.

This should solve all your problems in regards to mountain lions. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070404/ap_on_fe_st/quiznos_coyote
By the way, I am almost killed a coyote this last summer while riding singletrack on my mountain bike. I just brushed its tail as it rain out in front of me. I did hit a deer once with my bike. Anyway, if you can find the video on yahoo about the coyote it is pretty cool.
