.270 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 i've called in quite a few bears over the years. some even when i was trying to call in a bear. outside of one that came to a cow call while i was trying to call in a bull elk, i always used a circe magnum with a jackrabbit reed. i really think that being in fairly close proximity to a hungry bear has more to do with success than what sound you use. they all sound pretty much the same to me anyway.

Lark. I added a few more sounds to my caller, I'm gonna add lighting jack and then hit at least 4 stands. I think its gonna come down to the right sound at the right time. LOL A guy once told me on a hunt: "theres bull elk all over,,,,just not right here,,,right now." I use that one all the time now.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
