Called a cat in.

Went for coyotes was in a 20 foot observation tower up the road from me at a doctor friends place, lots of rock cliffs there.
In the past called several coyotes and foxes in, this guy came in but got a free pass, not many around in this part of Ohio.
Last fall, however the landowner keeps seeing them on occasion.

I believe the same thing. I've called up a few cats that I was able to see, but I imagine that I've called in a whole lot more than I've seen. Generally when I see one, it's just a glimpse, and it gives me the impression that most of them pass undetected. We have plenty of them where I live, but they seem to stick to the thick brush. I see tracks all over the place, and call right on top of them. Their senses seem to be far better than a coyote, except smell. They don't seem to circle for wind, but I think they think nothing of standing 10 feet into a tree line and observing for as long as it takes for them to be comfortable. I think they will often sit there watching for 10 minutes or longer, and when you have had enough of that gnat buzzing your face and decide to almost imperceptibly push it away, they see it and are gone. I also think their color perception may be much better than a coyote. Coyotes only see in 2 shades as I understand it, and unless they see motion, you can get away with a garbage camo job, but cats seem to see everything. Disclaimer: everything I just said may be wrong, it's only what I've observed.

Thanks for sharing the photos. That's got to be fascinating to be so close during the day!
Beautiful animals!

Late afternoon around four, we actually had a sighting just recently that made the local newspaper at a nearby metro park, a picture was posted by a park ranger. Nobody knows about my sighting except the doc, and you guys.

Each and every cat that I know I called in came in from behind and several times irregardless of wind...if they wanted us they'd have us (especially the big cats)

Nope, I videoed it moving from left to right until he was out of sight and back in the woods. It walked under my stand and looked up and back a few times, knowing something was not quite right. The video is about 4 min long. A very rewarding experience. It's amazing the animal activities I see from my stands, sometimes I shoot, sometimes I just watch and video. Cept the yotes I always shoot the yotes.

I'm in a tower about 20 feet tall , nothing ever makes me , I've taken fox and coyotes at 40 feet from, the top it's amazing, this doctor uses it for astronomy purposes. Pictures of it soon. The most amazing animal activity I've seen to date is when a grey squirrel walked up to a groundhog , they touched noses and went their ways, the squirrel to the trees the groundhog to groundhog heaven. It's not squirrel season yet, one of my favorite activities, not to mention tasty.
