went out sunday evening and made a mistake I think ? I was sitting atop a clear cut for a while and right before sun went down I heard branches busting and all sorts of noise even deep exhails / inhails so im fairly sure it was a bear and waited and waited for him to poke out tree line was 50 yards away ... this is when I goofed I think ... I started pred calling ...to get him to hurry up caus I was running out of daylight at this time ... so either he knew something was up and pred call was a foney or he/ she winded me .. idk what the case is in this one I took note of wind tho and it seemed like it was hitting the side of my face not my back but Idk maybe he just wasnted hungry for a rabbit haha what are youre thoughts ? should I hang the pred call up for another month or so ??? did I make a mistake on trying to call him out ?

I'm no expert but I think with the bear that close you might have tried something quieter, like a elk call or something. :dunno:

I wasn't in an area where there are elk does that matter to them lol not being familiar to the species ?? or you think it would spike interest and hed come check it out ? didn't even think of that tho thanks !
