Suprising info on camo for calling predators

[trashwood]

RC ya be careful!  I am sure you are expert.  A friend who does a lot of calling had a grown bob cat jump on his hat from behind.  Not sure what the bob cat liked about the hat.  bad thing was his hat was one his head.  friend came out with jsut a couple of claw marks and a heck of a story.

I think a big cat might be different!!!! YIKES

[Yolla Bolly]

A 45 lb. with the best part of a poodle in his belly = 85 lb.

Also there is the way the material will be seen by the predator, I have seen a similar study with artificial cloth and natural cloth and with different detergents used to do laundry it is hard to believe the difference under some animals color range.

Jerry Wald, I haven't done any yote hunting but when I hunted foxes we used to use that little ball with the raccon tail on it that rolls around on the ground (if you haven't seen em we used to get them in a "prank" store in the mall).  We then would field dress a small teddy bear, rabbit, etc... removing all the stuffing and put this ball inside it.  Dying rabbit call and that thing flopping around on the ground the foxes never even glanced our way...Mike

85 pounds?  that would be a world record
The heaviest confirmed is 75,although there is also some info on a 81 pounder from NY so maybe this is woodchuckers although the 81 was taken in 2005.
