Anyone calling bears?

[coyotecrazy]

Just checking to see if anyone is calling bears or just sitting on clear cuts and berry patches. If so how's your luck and what are you using?

Ha! I don't have a FoxPro, which is what I would like to use to call bear in.  But I do have a wounded bunny mouth call.  Anytime I read about calling bears it sounds like it takes about an hour and 15 minutes. Saw several people all say that same time for their bears last year.

Ive been doing a little calling, some lost fawn/ fawn distress and some rodent distress.....no bears yet but twice now Ive called in LARGE predatory birds so must be doing something right? By the way, having an eagle circling over you after doing a fawn call is kinda creepy.

No matter how ya word it, someone is gonna take it to a place you weren't even thinking. Just like when I'm at work. The guys let me have it if I'm not careful. Gotta love it:) if I had a bears number, I'd call

I've been trying to use my RR bear call  Not sure what I'm doing but I make a lot of noise  I don't seem to be scaring the deer away though, not sure if that is good or bad?

I've only called in one in a lot of attempts ever. And that was last year. A small bear that we got to 40 yards. We let him walk. I've been addicted ever since, even though I have no clue what I'm doing. What a great time;)

Very cool,CoyoteCrazy!

been cold calling, wounded rabbit, fawn distress. from ground and tree stand. no luck as expected cold calling. unless there is fresh fresh sign cold calling is more of a time passer i think. seen it many times by wayne carlton as well as peoples vids it does work if you see one. they run hard and its powerfull. dreaming of seeing a bear and calling him in. rush? i think so..........

I'm heading back to the coast monday or tuesday. Will be doing some setup up's on video so people can see how i call. I will be mixing Deer distress with my Raspy distress. I use a closed reed alot.With my Foxpro i will be using snow shoe hare alot this time. Good luck every one. Rick

Me and addicted2hunting sat in a clearcut last night near some sign from 6:00-8:00. Nothing came in until addicted2hunting started blowing a wounded cottontail call. After about 20 minutes of calling sessions we had a bear circling the area growling. the growls were short, almost like protest growls like we woke him up from a nap. haha. He was on the move and just out of sight. Pretty sure he was circling down wind. We never saw him before shooting light was gone. pretty cool experience though.

I use my FoxPro for bear and cat calling for obvious reasons. With the e caller should I let it play non stop or break it up? How long for a bear stand?

[saylean]

Calling bear now?

You know thats right.
I use all sorts of different calls...I have a new javellin call I am gonna try....

As far as duration of calling...I've called bears in under 5 min or up to an hour out. I usually dont call longer than an hour, but I will sit and wait to see if anything comes in once I go quiet.

[runamuk]

not yet but will be as soon as I can get out with a partner, we called a cat last year was awesome but for some reason people dont approve of me going out and calling predators all by my lonesome where there are known kitty cats....

I use an old ecaller and my closed reed predator calls from Bearmanric and Phelps

I leave the Foxpro Running. Constant. Bears lose interest easy. Javalina distress has called bears in in Oregon. Was by Baker with Johnny stewart cassette player. And like i said snowshoe is a good one. Nothing beats a Raspy closed reed. Guy's and Gal's look under you tube for bear calling good stuff. Sound hurt put emotion in it. Rick
