Calling bears and moon phases?
« on: October 12, 2012, 03:24:35 PM »
So my question is, does the moon phase affect calling bears? Is it harder to call in a bear in the day time if it is a full moon out? Any thoughts?

I personally haven't called in enough (15 so far) to really get a good indication if the moon had any affect.  Of course if I would have kept better records I and alot of other guys could probably answer this one better.  If I'm calling bears though the moon phase doesn't make me want to go any more or any less.

Not at all in my book.   They are in I WANT TO EAT mode.  I am not sure they even pause to sleep after the first of September.  Once the weather is cool, its all hands on deck for the nearest fridge so to speak.
