Not with fawn distress calls, at least for me. I use mostly squalling cub calls, like, I'm hurt mom, come and help me. I have a friend that swears by crow calls. If you're gonna call, just wail on the call until you turn blue in the face, catch a breath and keep calling. Bears are really silent, so keep a vigilant eye open in all directions. Best of luck.

I will be using a E caller due to the thick vegatation, and plan on sitting 50 yards away from the caller.

TOns of berries but due to all the recent logging it seems all the wildlife has moved out. I did a lot of glassing on top of ridges, walking into berry patches and still hunting to calling at the end of the day. FOr you bear callers, do you think my sound sequence will work?

Got him to 50 yards and he came in slow. We let him pass, beautiful bear just not very big. I am addicted to callin bears now :chuckle:
