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.

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.
