I jumped a bear yesterday that seems to have been starting a nest for the winter but cameras and tracks show they're still somewhat active. I got a shot off but missed completely. Has anyone ever missed one near a bed and had him return? The area has been a good bear producer, we have taken 4 in the past 2 seasons there. I'm hoping he will come back since he escaped safely, maybe just a bit more cautious. What I'm really wondering is since they're getting ready to den up but still somewhat active, would a call be enticing enough to pull one out of its nest/den if it hasn't gone into a state of torpor? I'm absolutely going to try it either way since I've got nothing to lose but I've never had any luck calling yet so if anyone with some successful bear calling experience would like sharing some opinions or advice I'd be more than happy to hear them.
