Congrats!!
Congrats! What type of call were you using? Salmon distress call? This is my first season specifically targeting bears and calling one in really appeals to me. I had one in some thick stuff yesterday and due to the wind I had to back out of my stalk so I tried a fawn bleat/distress and he quickly went the other way. I suspect he'd already winded me but the call seemed to put him over the edge. I'm not much of a predator caller anyways so that could be the problem itself but curious to hear what works for you.

Johnnie used a Sitka deer call, really made it whine...the bear circled behind & come out walking straight to us & got to 10 yards...as he was walking away, hit the call again & he turned, 16 yard shot.
Great bear!!! A bruin at 10 yards and armed with a bow, the adrenaline rush must have been almost unbearable ( no pun intended ). Nice job on keeping it together and closing the deal on what must have been more than just a little stressful.

Great bear. I need to try calling the buggers sometime. Sounds like fun.

A predator call works pretty good. Just like you'd call in a coyote. A lot of guys using cow calls when elk hunting will call in bears too. Leaning towards the calf calls would seem better to me. I don't call elk, so i'm not sure. I bought a Wayne Carlton bear call, and it comes with a CD demonstrating how to use it. It's just a predator call with the only difference in how to use it.
