got a question for you guys and I promise I am not crazy.

guy on our hunting lease shot a deer last weekend. we found blood and knew that he had hit it, but we could not find the deer.
yesterday we found some of the remains, basically just the head and fur. we also found a trail where the carcass had obviously been drug for quite a distance. around the carcass we found prints that I could put my hand inside of.

I have heard rumors of some sightings of mountain lions down in this area the last few years.
has anyone elsehere in this areaseen or heard this?

if this is in fact what we have, how would you go about trying to get it?
would some kind of call work?
we could kill a pig and throw out in the area and see if it comes in to that.
or would you use traps? and what for bait?

I am really intrigued by this and anxious to follow up on it.

thanks for any advice or tips you give us.
