So I've seen bobcats while deer and turkey hunting but never while one was in season. I'd like to get one for a mount. I have a foxpro I use for coyotes so my question is what are some calls that will work on cats? I was thinking vole squeaks. Anyway any advice is appreciated.
I would recommend bird sounds and when calling don't stop the calling. Cats will get bored easily so you want a continuous sound. It will also take a lot longer to call in a cat. Coyotes will come in quick so a 15-20 minute stand will work on them. A cat is going to slip in so stay on the stand for at least 45 minutes. Be patient and have fun.
Rabbit squeals work good around here. Cats will sneak in and just set and watch, gray foxes do this also.

X2 on the long calling sequence, you can also get away with way more scent on cats
Thanks for the replies. I'll give it a go if the rain ever stops.
Long calling sequence is generally a must. Bird sounds have been the most effective where I am. Start with a low volume and gradually increase. Be patient hunting cats, it's common for 20-30 minutes to pass before seeing them.
