Bear call (update with bear picture)
« on: April 15, 2010, 01:43:05 PM »
Here is a Bear call, Cub in distress, going to New Brunswick for the Spring Bear hunt. The wood is Chechen Rosewood, bladed for a lot of rasp, squalls of a young Bear. Thanks for looking, Dave

Just want to share a picture of a nice Black Bear taken Tuesday with one of these bear calls on a Spring Hunt in New Brunswick, called in to 23 yds taken with a bow

 Nice looking caller, certainly not your everyday run of the mill item...I have experimented with bear calls with some pretty scary results..once while watching several bears feeding on acorns I bleated at a sow and she immediately turned and charged..stopping just feet away ( I was unarmed)..another time in Northern Canada I tried the same thing on a solitary bear that was just ambling along...same result..and , get this, I was sitting in the cab of a diesel truck with the engine running and the bear came right up to the truck. I rolled up the window and hit the accelorator. all in all I think bear calls work pretty good.

Thanks for the kind words guys, and for the stories Charlie! That made my day,,,, bears will charge, swat bushes, usually and lucky for you it was apparantly a bluff, interestingly cubs will exhibit the same instinctive behavior as their mother which is cute when they are cubs, including teeth clacking, a bit worrisome when dealing with a full grown bear. When they come in to a call they are usually on high alert and ready to defend and attack.
I made three more of these, lenghtened two of them by 3/4", bladed them a touch more and have the sound I am looking for. Hopefully no one gets hurt, mauled, or shoots a sow that has hidden her cubs looking for the one in trouble.
