Best predator call for black bear in the fall

Unread postby Horizontal Hunter » Sun Aug 23, 2015 4:43 am

Our bear season opens on September 8th and I was thinking of trying my luck with a predator call.

I already have a fawn bleat and was thinking of picking up a rabbit in distress and/or a rodent in distress. I was wondering what has worked for you and what you recommend. Our bear season is fall only with no baiting (during the season) and no food based scent attractants ask well so that eliminates burns.

Thanks,

Bob

No kidding I never would have thought of that. This season the bear season was extended to include our shotgun deer season so the bear harvest should be up this year for sure.

Thanks Dan. They do a number on the fawns for sure.
