It is illegal to hunt waterfowl, turkey, or
deer with the use or aid of electronic
calls and battery powered or other
electronic devices as decoys.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I am glad you could quote the game regs....... :chuckle:.......that is only refering to electric calls though.......it says nothing about regular calls being used with bears though........so should i just rule it out thats its ok to use them?

I don't get what you are trying to do. Purposely get people riled up? And yes, there is such a thing as a stupid question when asked the way it is.
