bear in the reprod

[sled]

  IM Sitting Over A Cut With A Near Feeding On Black Berries.  It's About 30 Yards Off The Clear Cut In Reprod.  Won't Come Out.  I Have A Call IM Thinking About Trying.  Not Sure How Long To Wait.
  When I Walked In There Were Trails All Along TheRoad Where He Has Been Eating Berries.
  How Long Should I Wait?  I'd Hate To Scare It Off By Calling.

Are near's good to eat ?

put the phone away and get to hunting!

I'd wait and use the call as a last resort, I'm running out of daylight sort of deal.   

All I can tell you is try your best to predict where the bear is going and where it'll come out.   If there are no roads or anything below the bear then odds are it'll come back up to the road between you and it and you'll get a shot if it's still daylight.

  Pretty Excited Right now.  Bad Pic But This Is Where It's at.

is he working towards you?   Is that a gated road if not the next vehicle coming by may screw it up.

[KFhunter]

That is a good call scenario - but not all bears respond to calls and if that one has ever been educated ..........

Been Listening To It For 40 Min Now.  It's Staying In The Same spot

Yes It's Gated.  Been In The Same Berry Patch For 40 Min.  Blackberries Are About 6 Feet high.

Call lightly. If it is a predator call give a couple light bawls.  Waaa, waaa.
Don't call hard right off the bat. But definitely start calling an hour before dark or if is seems to be feeding out of the area.
Be ready to shoot before and during your first set. Don't stop for more than a minute, but call harder as time progresses.

Good luck.

  It Is Actually Moving Toward Me Now.  Heading To Some Bigger Trees.  Not Hearing It As Much But I Can Hear It Breaking Brush, And Sticks.

I hope he moves into range!

Hopefully the entire member population of the forum doesn't race to the reprod now that you gave away your spot.

This is cool. I hope you get a shot. 1st bear, right?
Can't wait to see how this plays out.

[KFhunter]

good luck!


I'd be looking at that call pretty hard right now, gettin on in the evening.
