[QUOTE="stazmania, post: 3073672, member: 125472"] When large predators are sick, injured, starving, territorial, or just surprised and attack that is one thing. But when they actively stalk and kill humans as prey/food, that adds a whole new twist to calling wildlife. I love to call game, I have called in and killed one Mt. lion. I tracked it into the thick brush with low/short distance visibility, and it is a different feeling than looking for a deer or elk. I was bowhunting years ago and a couple of Mt. lions crossed the road I was driving down. I grabbed my bow and a mouthcall the sun was going down in the canyon and the shadows and darkness creeping in. I hurried in the direction the cats had traveled looking for an opening in the brush big enough to set up in. The only open spot i found that might offer a shot was about 20 yards across. I sat up kneeling with my bow at the ready and started calling. I called until it was to dark to shoot and nothing came in but I will never forget the rush/feeling of turning your self into prey for a large predator in low light. I know the chances of a cat actually attacking the caller are very low but it is still a rush. 1 on 1 [/QUOTE]
