Just got back from bird hunting in eastern wa and checked my camera. The little of the two not seen but the big boy is in every night. Going to try the call tomorrow as the season is winding down. I've been told when using a call for bears to leave the call going for like 45 minutes straight. Does that sound right?

If he's there every night there is a decent chance he is not that far away and may come in much sooner....but I'd give him at least 45 to an hour.  Good luck!

Well this ol boy doesn't want to respond to a fawn distress call. Still on the camera every night. He busted one of my cameras using it for a foot hold to get his fat butt up in the apple tree. Just dont think he is going to show himself during the day. If he hasnt come in by now I'm guessing he has caught on to the call. I have until thursday. Maybe I will see if I can find him in his daytime spot. Odds of that are probably slim to none.

With all the apples for him to eat he's not going to be interested in the call.
 If he's coming in on the same trail check the time stamp and move in away from the apples on that trail and set up your blind and don't call.
You'll catch him on the way in to the orchard

I think I need to get this guy some sunglasses. He absolutely wont show until after dark. At first he would not show until 0200 or 0300. Now he is coming in about 2000 to 2100.

All that activity in the woods makes them pretty spooky this time of the year.
You'll never get a Big'un if you keep shooting Little'un's.

He is just a smart old bear. I really think he has me patterned more than I have him. He came in last night and does what he always does. Lays around, eats a few apples, looks at the camera when it is triggered, puts his face right in the camera and then eventually leaves. Theres lots of food and he is really fat and life is good. Why come in during the day? Its been a fun couple of months with him. Hope he comes back next year and be even bigger. Time to focus on late buck. If this ol boy shows on thursday he wont grow a year older. After that, enjoy ol blackie!
