Adding on to what others have stated, the Carlton video is a CLASSIC!  It got my blood flowing quickly, and I've been hooked ever since.  I've never had a problem with bears attacking, a few close bluffs though.  The major issue I have had are the cougars.  Almost every year, I've had cats come in and start to stalk.  I went from using only mouth calls to digitals, but still have had cats come in and either see movement or smell and come straight in for me.   :o  :yike:
As an added note, bear spray works well on large hungry TOMs also!   ;)

theres a video on youtube where a guy is ground hunting a bait station  :bdid: a smaller bear walks in and walks past the bait. strait to the guy, and sniffs his hat (on his head) turns and walks to the bait.  talk about a *censored* your pants situation. i bet that guy felt the bears wiskers. i'd crap my pants and through it at emm.  :chuckle:

When calling, do you usually just start calling right away or sit for a while then start calling. I am asking if you are in thicker areas where you think bears are, but have limited visibility.

most times if the bear is close enough to be spooked by you when you walk in, then you will not call him in. and they will leave the area. we get into the area and get setup and then start calling most the times i figure about 10mins before the caller turns on.
