I have had bear come in when I'm calling but can't get them to break from cover a few times I've had them with in 50 yds or so I can hear them in the brush but can't them to come out to where I can see them and get a shot...any advice


Change your calling location. Make it as easy as possible for the bear to come to you.

This was a western Washington bear. Plum full of berries. Looked like mt. Huckleberries/blueberries. Lots of berrie bushes in the area seemed like they had no berries left due to hot weather in some locations but some spots had decent amounts left Definitely gonna buy another tag and hopefully get out more throughout the season. Although I'm excited about salmon fishing this year too.

Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

In my experience calling. I have had best success calling in short intervals with around 3 to 10 whines on the call with about 5 to 10 second gaps then starting up again. I always get inpatient and don't call long enough. Don't give up. Stay calling an area for a minimal amount of 45 minutes. I have had success in my areas using a fawn distress. But will start venturing out and using other calls in the future. The only reason I stop is to quickly listen to what's coming. My areas are generally really thick so I have had the same issues as you with some holding up. And if a have a good area to glass I start out by glassing the area over first before calling. In my years of calling I have had way more failures than success calling them in but I consider the failures a learning experience for future hunts.

thanks I'll try the shorter intervals

Good job, getting a bear is the best feeling I swear. I love bear hunting.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

Bear hunting has quickly become my favorite. I definitely get more excitement out of it than deer and elk. Even though I do love deer and elk and put more time toward it I should designate more time for bear.

I call non-stop for an hour.  I never pause, I have watched bears stop coming the moment a caller stopped calling and quite a bit of the time they do not start back in.  I always put my watch out in front of me, so I can glance at it while calling.  One hour is a long time and it's hard work not pausing, but that is the way I have had my best success.
