I am trying to call in an area I know have bear(s), the guy is not coming out. earlier when berries ripen I saw plenty of scat and the pooper who ran away. So, he/she is in the neighborhood. There is a swampy creek in about 200-300 yard...
I go calling with my friend who is looking behind me. I called for 40-45 minutes in two different places and didn't see a thing. I try low volume first and increase gradually, in 10 minutes blow all lungs ... Intervals are 40-100 seconds each with 1-2 minute pauses. I have one call: distressed fawn, bought on Amazon - good reviews. I am buying another one (rabbit) from Cabela's to try next week
questions: does frequency, pause, volume, pitch, etc. matter to Mr. Bear? Maybe Mr. Bear saw me (although I am dressed in camo and there is hardly any wind). Any tips calling will be appreciated.
