How long to call?
« on: September 03, 2016, 01:36:08 AM »
How long will bears respond to fawn in distress calls? Called one in on the 1st, wondering if calling will be effective through the whole season?

I call until they den up.  Later in the season I don't think they travel as far or as fast to a call, but if you start calling and they are close by they will come in.

Alright sweet I will keep at it then with the fawn call. Work is killing me right now I want to be up in the woods every day they are moving

Lack of feed
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Had one come into my lost calf calls (at least that's what I was attempting) at 15 yards several years ago during early archery. One of my buddies took a cougar this year doing the same. I'm told they were both a little suprised when they faced off @ 12 yards :yike:

This was Rimrock area btw.
