The prospect of calling a mountain lion doubtless serves to sell a bunch more electronic callers, and get newbies to the sport wired with adrenalin, but 20 years experience suggests it's not a particularly effective nor efficient method for actually seeing and removing specific mountain lions, particularly when contrasted with other ADC methods (such as the use of hounds by a professional).
One possible consequence is that ADC work with problem mountain lions will be made that much more difficult with recreational callers having little to no experience working the same areas. (Ranchers with lion experience usually know all this, however).
