They can be called in but be careful as they have a habit of comming in behind you. A guy I knew was calling coyotes when a loin came in behind him. The cat started to charge him but then must have realized that it was not what he thought it was. My buddy never went out calling again without someone to watch his back door. I was calling coyotes once when a bobcat came up behind me. My wife was setting off several 100 yards and saw it and beepep the horn to get my attention. At that time bobcats were protected so we could not take a shot at it. They are no longer protected. At least not all year. I have a favorite little cedar tree I like to set behind that gives me a very good view in all directios except behind me. There is a big flat behind it and seldom does anything come from that way. The fellow who farms my little place in SD has caught two bobcats there this winter so far. He is trapping this winter.
