    Moon Phase Effect on Rocky Mtn Fall Bear?

    I've never worried much about moon phase with bears. Food sources are the key, along with the temperature/time of day for me here at home. I do like to shoot my bear by early October, as the shorter daylight hours later in the year start allowing the bears to use the longer nights to their...

    Calling Bears

    I have always called solo except sometimes for coyotes/bobcats. I'm always hoping a Mt.lion will appear, but so far I haven't been that lucky (that I know of :) ). It just seems if you only go when others will go, you will miss out on a lot of opportunities. It would be cool to call wolves in...

    Calling Bears

    Called this sow in this spring after hearing her down in the creek bottom. She came in to about 30 yards, but had little tykes in tow and would try to put them up a tree and come see what the commotion was. She never did really figure out what was going on so she went back across the creek and...

    Calling Bears

    I think it has to be the right bear at the right time and place/situation, because I have watched bears that I've called to and they looked for a second and went right back to doing what they were doing :).

    Calling Bears

    We can't bait here, so I mostly spot and stalk with the calls used as a good way to try and make a bear show himself when i've snuck in and just can't find/see him. If you are in the thick stuff like we have here, it also works when you can hear one grubbing and rolling rocks, but just can't...

    Calling Bears

    I have always had pretty quick responses, like within 10-15 minutes. But, as stated earlier, I usually know a bear is close. either I've seen it and by the time I get there he slips away or I hear what I believe to be one in the brush by me or I see some super fresh sign, but can't spot a bear...

    Calling Bears

    I used a old Lohman predator call (rabbit in distress). Interestingly enough I've only called bears in with this mouth call. I have never had any success with my electronic call!

    Calling Bears

    I have called in a few bears over the years. More spring bears than fall, but have had a couple show interest enough during early fall to get them shot. During the spring I have called bears right up close and personal (20-30 yards). I had a sow with two little cubs come in to 30 yards this...

    FL tag app time

    Good luck on all your draws. Sambar sounds pretty cool; I've heard it's a tough hunt! Good luck on gator tags also. I was actually looking at our OR draws and opportunities the other day and thinking the same thing about having a lot of options to get out and hunt.

    Yes, I am getting pretty loaded with points in NV for sure :). I have a MT deer tag and should draw a lower tier unit CO deer tag. Maybe UT or WY will draw my name yet too :). I have a few other fun hunts in the works, but they aren't locked down yet. OR should be fun this year too; seasons...
