To start with, I have been doing all of my spring bear hunting with a camera since I did not get drawn for the special permit hunt.
Today I was able to do something that I have wanted to do for a while now. I was hiking with my dog Baxter and I saw a bear a ways away from us. I watched it go into the woods and disappear. I pulled a rubber chicken that belongs to my dog out of my pack. Every since I first saw this rubber chicken, I thought that it sounded like a pretty good bear call. I started squeezing this chicken and after a bit the bear popped out of the woods and started checking us out. It would walk a little and then turn a look at us. I did it over and over and that bear was really trying to figure out what the heck we were. If I were hunting, I could have killed this bear very easily.
I really thought this was fun and thought that maybe some others might get a kick out of it.
