---This was a chance encounter. They are supposed to be pretty common in the Bosque, but this is only the second time I have seen one in 3 years. However, yopu commonly see sign where they have found dinner--such as pieces of bird or rabbit on the trail. As far as a blind, there is no specific exclusion as long as you are on or near an authorized trail. In fact, I have a couple of spots picked out that I do plan on setting up when it gets a little warmer---But I have to be careful when useing a predator call:

Although, the photog in me says go for it---I would love to get one of these guys. Infact I had even thought about baiting with a rabbit and a predator call, but I think there is somekind photography ethics I would be violating ---So I'll just set up the blind, use a predator call and hope one doesn't see the rustling in the blind and mistake it for dinner. Mountain lion hunting is legal in this state and several of my friends have offered to take me on a hunt where they use dogs to tree the cat---But I put down my rifle a long time ago and now have a real distaste for that sort of thing--So I have passed on those offers.
