seek100plus Report post Posted August 11, 2009 I am brand new to bear hunting , I have spent many hours glassing for bear’s , but I would like to try something up close and personal .I have been kicking it around to try predator calling them. I mostly hunt for bears, during a family campout in the cool country forest for the family sake and try to sneak out for awhile at dusk time. I don’t want to use electronic calls the first time, I’m asking the true callers for help, I don’t want to sound like , I have no clue what I’m doing, I don’t see jack rabbits, cottontails and mice chirping, or is it just the sound they are coming for to a easy meal. I was thinking of using a fawn or elk calf distress sound ,any help would be great , before the October hunt starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.270 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 i've called in a few over the years. a wounded jabkrabbit call seems to work the best. get on a big canyon where you know there will be bears and where the sound will carry a long way and be ready to blow a long time. or use an electric call.

scoutm Report post Posted August 11, 2009 I was researching calling bears last year, unfortunately I was unable to get the time off so I didn't go. One thing that I read numberous times and thought was important is often sows will come into the calls but will tree her cubs before she comes in so it can appear like a sow doesn't have any cubs when she infact does. So try to pass on sows even if she doesn't have cubs with her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
