Title: August fall bear
Post by: CoyoteWacker on August 22, 2013, 07:40:14 PM: Here's one for the books. Calling with mouth calls, rabbit distress, howls and here comes a black bear 400-500 yards out. Called him into 100 yards and turned the ecaller on. He almost ran over me, dropped at 50 feet. I was awake after that!!!

I believe this is part of the story.
