Long time lurker, first time poster!
I live in Kentucky we can only call cats in the daylight.
I've seen several in the woods and trapped several including the first and second in my county in modern times! I've helped a few trappers catch there first as well. I know about scouting and staying in fresh sign.And know about locating cats. But I'm still having trouble. Called one up below my house last yr. the birds told me but he stayed in the edge of the brush about 100 yards from me and wouldn't come to the edge! I couldn't find him with the binoculars and he tired of the call and moved back down the holler. The titemouse birds scolded him up the holler and back out I'm 90% sure it was a cat as I was finding fresh tracks and getting pics nightly.
I've called fox and yotes there in yrs past and they'll always atleast poke out in a little nook or crany and give you a look before they leave!
I had no decoy and was useing a hand call. What could I have done different.ibe thought about an e caller so I could look harder with optics for watchers do y'all thank that could help? what do you fellers do in timber they may help me out Id like too call one up in the day time eventually!
I've tried for a few yrs know and work the same area a lot in fresh sign morning and night I stay usually an hr and call nonstop most of the time.
I could trap these cats easy but they never bring much around here and I'd just asoon call one up.
I know this has been talked to death on hear but what have y'all got?
