I live in the east side of the state,Sept is coming and I'm wanting to call in a bear this year. Just ordered a new Wayne Carlton call. Anybody got any pointers or tips? Anybody use his calls before?

Back home. Wich call. Rick

It is Carlton's newer open reed bear call?
I am sure the newer one will work fine but I like the old green one which they haven't made in years.

You will want to learn how to control volume and learn to convey emotion through sound. Practice in your rig to and from work.

I always suggest starting with closed reeds. If wanting a custom bear call I would suggest RR. If just wanting off the shelf I would suggest Burnham Bros C3 Long Range.

What billy said closed reed tuned raspy. Will do fawn, bear cub and distress. Rick

Ok, another question. After a set, up wait a bit, call for two hrs or so, how far do you go down the trail and set up again? Sorry for all the questions

bearmanric · « **Reply #11 on:** August 13, 2014, 09:31:34 AM »

Call a hour. I could not sit that long. Mile or so. Rick

How long are your sequences, and frequency within an hour time frame? BTW I am getting the howler down, hope to go try it out this weekend.

bearmanric · « **Reply #13 on:** August 13, 2014, 10:55:08 AM »

A few minutes then take a breath. You have to keep calling as much as you can. Bears, bobcats cougar lose interest easy. Rick

Yea an hour is plenty. Put a watch out in front of you because trust me an hour to crank, non-stop, on a call is a long time. 20 minutes into it you’ll think you have done an hour. How far to move depends on a lot of factors, how high is the wind blowing? Much over 15 mph and I don’t call at all. If it is raining slightly that will dampen the call, the terrain features can limit how far out your call is reaching. You’ll want to move far enough that you are getting into a new area that your previous calling site was not reaching, but not so far as to be missing bears.

Machias · « **Reply #15 on:** August 13, 2014, 10:59:38 AM »

I take NO breaks while calling, it's even better if you have two guys calling to switch back and forth.

Have you guys had any luck getn cats to come in when calln for bear?

bearmanric · « **Reply #17 on:** August 13, 2014, 01:22:05 PM »

I do on the coast lots of cats were I call. Rick

I have tried other calls but I like Ricks the best. Opening day we called in a bear the first stand and harvested it and the next stand had one come in but it winded us and snuck out. Last year we had one almost run over us using the fawn call we do the same call for a half hour and if nothing move on to another spot. We do best setting up over creeks were it's real brushy.

How about using Any kind of decoy or pull string type of a decoy

I believe we call in more cats than we realize, I have called in 2 cats, once while turkey calling, a big tom and one while calling for bears which I never saw or knew was there until we got done and my partner turned around all bug eyed. If you want to call cats you HAVE to contact Rainshadow1 and get his lion vocalizations, they are ahead of their time!!
