Is that a huntncarve call.Rick
Brian meyer made it for me. Turkeyrivercalls.com
The same year i called in that last bear, i called in a lion with one of your calls, friend was watching over me from a ridge 100 yards off and shot it as it was sneaking up on me.
Now we need to get cougar season to open august 1st along with bear, so a guy can take advantage of the situation if he calls in a cat while bear calling!

45/70 I assume? Thanks, neat call!!!
.30-30. Its a 1949 336sc

Agree. The cat in my avatar was called in while targeting bear. Thankfully it was September. Family vacation until 8/10 then I'll be calling in earnest. Scouted last week and saw a density of sign like never before. Hopefully they don't move too far.

Saw a dandy while out looking for huckleberry patches. 800 yards away in the open rooting around or something. Called with a baby cottontail and he slowly started working his way towards us. Then I tried a jack rabbit on the electronic call. He stood up and was looking right at us but turned tail and went over a hill. Did not like the louder call. Ive got a rain shadow raspy and bearmanric bear call that I’ll be using unless I come across more bears interested in the high pitched one. Electronic calls aren’t legal for bear hunting are they?
Yes, you can use ecallers for bear. just not deer or turkey. And maybe not waterfowl, not sure on that, i dont hunt waterfowl.

Hes a youngster for sure, but no reason not to throw him in the freezer, you can always hold out for a beast with your second tag.I would definitely shoot him if I saw him. I have not shot a bear yet and I don't like the bears in the area because it is my deer hunting area.

I tried my hand at calling last year. Using "Deer talk" distress call. Had a few come in however my set up was not so great a few snuck up on me and were gone by the time I got situated. I was wondering how are you guys setting up when your calling? Tree stand, back against a big tree, fringes of clear cuts?
Ill definitely have something at my back. Not necessarily for safety reasons, but to disguise my outline. Cant look too obvious using a handcall. Youre the source of the sound, theyll come in keyed in on your location. Im going to be calling by water and berries, in pretty heavy cover areas as ill be using a rifle with open sights. Want to call them in close. Advantages to that are being able to hear them coming (i hope) and by the time they can actually see you, you can shoot. Calling in more open areas, advantage is that you might be able to see them farther off and get a shot before they can get down wind.
My shots should be no more than 75 yards where ill be calling, hopefully less. But i did decide a couple days ago to lob a round at a 6" steel circle at 250 yards, and actually hit it, surprisingly enough. Not too shabby for a 70 yr old .30-30 with no scope.

Most of my shots on bears called in have been less than 20 yards, most in the 10 to 15 yard range and most of those I never heard a sound. I would be slowly scanning with my eyes and scan back the other way and they are standing there. Unless it is a BIG bear, you will rarely hear them.

Honestly, I prefer a mouth call over a electronic caller. I'm sure some guys will disagree with me, but I have never called in a bear with a e-caller. I know its been done by plenty of people, but I like the range and complete control I have with a mouth call. it's also a confidence thing. I have no confidence in my e-caller whereas I have called in several with a mouth call.
Also, to me at least, knowing that a hungry predator is keying in on me as the source of the sound, instead of keying in on a plastic box sitting safely 100 yards away, adds to the excitement. Adds a little pucker factor, even if the element of danger isnt truly all that high. Not to mention i think its more rewarding and more of an accomplishment to call a predator in with a hand call.

At the risk of derailing this fine thread, I can chime in on that without moving to The BF Thread.
It's clearly a BF. As you can tell, that part of the picture is blurry. ALL BF pictures are ALWAYS blurry-because BF is Blurry-smart (R)
Also, the figure in the photo is obviously hiding from the trail camera because BF has IR sensors known as Viper Vision(R) that cause him to avoid trail cameras
Irrefutable. That's a BF.

I was wondering how are you guys setting up when your calling? Tree stand, back against a big tree, fringes of clear cuts?
I've used the Deer Talk for years now, and it's done me well. Listening to audio of fawn distress has helped me tremendously. Pour your heart into it, lots of whimpering. Forget your call this morning? A blade of grass can bring up the same vocals.

Dont want to take the old antique blued / wood out in the rain. Just found this online, and i think ive just got to have one. Its even threaded for a suppressor.

Didn’t take ya too long :tup:
Couldnt hunt all week. First bear was 4 days, this one i think a total of 3. NE corner is a target rich environment. Especially now that we can hunt when the berries are prime.

Both skulls done now, boar and sow.
Bango you are all that is man. Maybe I can convince you to teach me how to bear hunt? From A to Z. Never tried it and it seems awesome. Name your bourbon, Sir and I’ll bring a few bottles as payment.

That’s awesome Bango! Good stuff. Where have I seen that call before though? I feel like I’ve seen it in person...
Its a one of a kind, so unless youve peeked in my truck window and seen it sitting on the seat or something, probably not. I think bmeyer might have posted it on predatormasters before he shipped it to me, maybe you saw it there.

Its really a sweet gun, and the remlins are actually coming out in good working order now since remington got a new facility and machinery for the marlin guns. And qc seems to have improved tremendously. But i really think they missed the mark with the parkerized finish, and they should have come out with a synthetic stock by now. But luckily RPP just came out with a synthetic stock set a few months ago. I ordered mine the day they came out, before i could even find one of these guns for sale. If you cant tell, im pretty excited. Counting down the days until i get to go call some bears. Wont be taking the 70 year old .30-30 out in rainy spring weather.

Should fit right in the next Jurassic World movie!
Find some mosquitoes trapped in amber, clone some velociraptors, and tell me how to apply for the tag :tup:
Hell, forget the dinosaurs, somebody needs to clone some wooly mammoths and let em loose.

Cerakote is amazingly tough when applied correctly. If not applied correctly which 2/3s of smiths I personally know don’t follow the steps then it’s not as effective. If you had it done by a cerakote certified smith and it flakes I’m quite certain cerakote themselves warranty it. At least that’s what we were told in gunsmithing school. Someday I’d like to attend the training to be certified but that’s awhile down the line.
Ive found one certified cerakote place in spokane, liquid transformations. Not to be confused with liquid river graphics that did my .460. If anybody has personal experience with liquid transformations, shoot me a pm, id like to hear a review.
