i need to get out tomorrow for a bit. getting the fever. just talked to the guy pouring my new barrel's. going to do some clear and Floresent ones. nice going. cant wait going to be a good year. Rick ;)
I told you I'd give you reports. All very good reports. I used the same call as the other one I called in Sunday. It sure is a rush, especially when I can get pictures too. That's proof in my book that they work instead of saying they work.

Campmeat, any size to them? I saw 5 out there last year, but they were all fairly small. I've been holding out for a big one.
This first one on Sunday was maybe 200ish. The 2nd one was maybe 150-200. I could tell it was smaller because he had a lot of ground clearance. The first one was kinda of in the brush on a very steep hill. Still nice coats though.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but IMHO your making a mistake calling in bears prior to the season. All game animals become much harder to call in after they have been called in and educated. Be it turkeys, elk, coyotes or bears. Your only going to make it harder for yourself or others to call these bears in again. Also give this some thought. I have on a couple of ocassions called in bears and after sizing them up decided I did not want to shoot them, too small, however they became aggressive. I always carry pepper spray as an alternative to shooting them. If you go out and purposely call in a bear and then have to shoot it out of self defense you will probably be charged, and probably should be charged, with hunting bear out of season. Just something to keep in mind.I tell the turkey hunters the same ... goin out before season and callin does not help .... exspecially ELK ... but whats a guy to do when he is pumped to go huntin....

campmeat how were you calling them? fawn or calf, distressed or not? ect
I'm doing a cub bawl, fawn distress/dying call if that makes sense. I'm doing it as loud as possible too. So far both bears have shown up in 5 minutes or so.

Campmeat do you mind sharing which one of his calls that you are using?
I'm using the DA2. I can make a lot of different sounds with it.

It's like the one on the right. I tried the other one and it sure is very raspy. I haven't tried that one yet. I'll report back if I call one in.

question, would any of the verminator predator calls be successful for bear? i mean, they are prey animal death/distress calls
Yes they would.
