Title: The strangest bear call on Hunting Washington
Post by: woodman on June 10, 2014, 04:07:01 PM: To start with, I have been doing all of my spring bear hunting with a camera since I did not get drawn for the special permit hunt.

Today I was able to do something that I have wanted to do for a while now. I was hiking with my dog Baxter and I saw a bear a ways away from us. I watched it go into the woods and disappear. I pulled a rubber chicken that belongs to my dog out of my pack. Every since I first saw this rubber chicken, I thought that it sounded like a pretty good bear call. I started squeezing this chicken and after a bit the bear popped out of the woods and started checking us out. It would walk a little and then turn a look at us. I did it over and over and that bear was really trying to figure out what the heck we were. If I were hunting, I could have killed this bear very easily.

I really thought this was fun and thought that maybe some others might get a kick out of it.

So ....Bears are attracted to the sound of you choking your chicken? :yike:

That was years ago and due to the possibility of kids swallowing the voice reed, they started molding them into the toy body and they are harder to get out. I left that one on a basalt rock above the Columbia where I skinned a coyote called in with it.

When removed from the toy so that you can control the air flow more than just by squeezing, they make a superb critter call. Good on you!!
