I have heard of people calling spring bears in.
Can bears be called in the fall?
-
Yep, or at least I think so, I didn't but a local man I hunted with did. Sounded awful to me but he swore by it and he killed 3 that I know of while saying he called them!

Apple's, road kill, lots of things call em. LOL!!! A rabbit squealer should work just fine. Find the bear sign and set up your calling!!!!!!!!

Talk to Dave Hodgkins about this topic. He's learned in this!!

No Nets... the bear calling foo ROTFLMBO
Not being around bears, I didn't even know you could call them in... I thought honey was the magic recipe!
Cannot wait to see what the bear hunters have to say.

Randy Anderson , of Nebraska , he calls bears with prey sounds on a mouth call.

Any squealing rabbit call works great! Just be alert...............Bears come to the call aggressively!

Many bear hunters use bait or dogs, for calling I prefer a cub in distress although they will come to rabbit distress calls. I make bear calls using a fairly heavily bladed raspy call,go a little at a time until you get it right as you can easily ruin a reed, and you have to experiment with the barrel to get it the right length. Once you have it correctly bladed and the right barrel, it makes a realistic sounding cub in distress, I use a LV002 JC reed although some use a medium voice, (sounds more like fawn balling/distress though). Once you start calling to a bear, you have to keep calling, if you stop calling the bear will lose interest. Sows tend to come in more agressively than boars, it is not a sport for the faint of heart if you have a sow come charging in.
Personally, I advocate the shooting of boars only, abandoned cubs if they survive,can become nuisance bears, more of a problem when the cubs are young, in the spring, than in the fall.

I've called bears before using natural voice distress bleats...Black Falcon is correct in saying that they sometimes come in agressively when they do respond...Probably not a good idea to call from the ground while bow hunting unless you hunt in an area that lets you carry a pistol while bowhunting. I have had them just suddenly show up at close range looking for lunch. ROTFLMBO
