Predator calling for bears

[S.W.A.T.]

Are you using electric calls?

Most will know but some won't that electronic calls are Taboo in BC. FYI

I've had good success calling bears out I didn't even know were there, and others come running like a race house, both towards me and away LOL

I understand that electric calls are illegal in BC for hunting purposes. That's why I posed the question. I have never thought of calling for bears. I find it very difficult to mimic predator calls.

Yep. I spend most of my bear hunting spotting, driving to another cut, spotting and repeat. If I dont find a bear while spotting, before moving on I always let out a call with my bear buster if its a huge area, or an whiny calf elk (primos ivory plate) call if a smaller area.

I started doing this for spring black bears after I acidentally got a Griz to stand up and reveal himself while blind calling up a slide for elk.

Ive since used a call many times and got a spring black bear that had remained out of sight to reveal himself in one way or another.

And dont forget to look behind you!!!!

To quote the synopsis: "It is illegal: 34. To use recorded or electronic calls
to hunt wildlife except Wolf, Coyote,
Cougar, Lynx or bobcat or any bird listed
in Schedule C (see “What is Wildlife?”
Section)."

Well I am fairly certain you can use electronic predator call in BC. Its unlawful to use them for anything other than Wolf, Coyote, Cougar, Lynx, Bobcat or any bird listed in Schedule C. So to say that electronic calls are banned is not true. Took that word for word from page 15 of the regulations.

Your right, my reference was to bears, should have been more clear!

No I’m using a old fashioned hand rabbit distress call. Looks like a doe bleat tube.

Looks exciting. Maybe not “chewin’ on your arm exciting” but who wants that again, right? Any idea how Grizz respond to the sounds of a bunny panic attack?

I would say the exact same way as a black bear...they would come right in looking for a meal.
