I wanted to see if any calls bears in.  Watched it done out towards the Forks area on the Indian Res.  One of the guys was calling the bears in.

No success yet.  I did call in an unknown last year that may have been a bear.

my son has always really been into the hunting....I started him by carrying him on my shoulders though the woods....he killed his first bear at 8. Anyway he had 2 friends (brothers), one was 16 and could drive, they were all very knowledgeable but my wife and I, and the other kids parents would only let them take 1 rifle and shotguns for grouse and bear hunting.

One time they were bear calling and this bear came running in snapping its teeth, they shot it, and then added a few rounds, they were still talking pretty fast when they got home.   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

There is a lot more to the story but you need to hear it from them, scared the jimny right out of them.... :chuckle:

Point being, I think it's a good idea to have a friend, you never know what could happen. Did you hear about the grizzly sow that attacked the guy in WY looking for sheds.... :tup:

If you know its there that works fine.....what if the situation is like that grizzly in WY....tore the guy up before he could get out his pistol. :dunno:

odds are slim of something like that, but this guy sounds new to bear hunting....

I've called in 15 so far.  I have called in probably half of them by myself.  You sure don't fall asleep while hunting.   ;)

You can also get an electronic caller so the bear is focused on it instead of you.  When Im calling alone I put the wind in my face.  That way if a bear comes in behind me it might smell me and take off.   :dunno:  You can call in lots of critters while calling so be ready for kitty cats also.  You might be looking for dark shapes and not see the big tan one coming in on you.   :yike:

Are most of you using a rabbit in distress call?  What type of call?
