You say it's getting your deer and turkeys. Have you found any of it's kills? If so, is there any attempt to "cover" the kills? If so, it is a female. The female's range is much shorter than the male's. About 2-3 days. The male's range can be 7-10 days.

If you find a covered kill, hunt it. She will be back.

If it is an un-covered kill, hunt it. The male will leave a kill after it has it's fill and leave the rest for the female/kittens.

If it is preying on deer and turkeys, try using fawn bleets or turkey calls.
 
Any type of distress calls (rabbit, deer, bird) will bring it in. May take 1 stand or 10 but if your patient enough you can prevail. I went out in SD the second stand, 10 min had a big tom walk in.

Is it legal to shoot lions in OH since there is no known populations of lions? They are popping up all over. One was hit by a car in CT and a hair sample said it travelled from the Black Hills of SD. i think it was a 170lb male.
 
If e-calls are legal you can use cat in heat or I have had luck with an open reed hand call, but I call in must faster succession than I would for a coyote, much more intense calling.
