Fawn bawls can work wonders on fall bears.  It may take longer than a spring bear (when fawns are much younger and are easier prey).  Still, with winter coming and berries all but gone, protein is on the menu for fall bears.  Got some pics?

I agree with the fawn bawls or fawn distress.
If you are getting pics of him regularly you might up your odds by learning his pattern and timing.
