Title: Three and out
Post by: hoseman on August 04, 2010, 02:52:40 PM: Been out last three days strait. Havnt seen one bear! Scouted this area and and saw three bears in weeks prior. Dont get it. Monday didnt see a single animal in 12 hours of hunting. Not even a mouse. Had two idiots dicide to go target shooting after driving around my quad and setting up right below me. Not going real well so far. Does anyone have any tips on predator calls? Havnt tried it but would like to.
