spring bear calls? what to use and when?
« on: March 26, 2011, 02:03:24 PM »
Most of my bear hunting has been during deer season so i dont have alot of experience calling them in... I have called in some coyotes before so i get the just of predator calling I think...
However, any tips on what kind of calls to use and when to use them throughout the season would be awesome
thanks

Bear called in with one of Ricks calls (RRcalls). Rainshadow makes nice ones too.

Lots of calling info on here. Just run through the bear forum, lots to read. Good luck.

Sometimes knowing when not to call is more important.

in the spring i would use a Distress with a wa wa  wa wa mixed in for fawn deer. put emotion in it  like it caught in a fence. elk talk also. in the fall just good old Distress also elk. at daylight spot and stalk and scout and evening watch a food scource. i make sure the shot is good. and easy pack out since getting dark. i mainly call afternoons in the fall. i like a good Raspy predator closed reed call. also a raspier openreed call. hunt the food scource area. look for peel's work the area. Rick ;)
