[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2102550, member: 5429"] Calling bruins, can and does work. I've been calling bruins since the early 90's. I've called in over 60 of them (think the actual number is 66 would have to look at my notes). Personally, I wouldn't reccomend cold calling (calling without seeing them first) for them especially in tight cover. Main reason being, from my studies on it I've found that 75% of the time the sow will put the little dudes up a tree and then...come looking. Too darn easy to put the hurt on Mom and leave orphans. I've found that about 1/3 of the bears will pay absolutely zero attention to the call (I use mouth calls and I hit it hard), 1/3 of them will sort of mosey this way and that in the direction of the call and the last 3rd they'll get the positive flow going as they will come Mach 4 with their hair on fire. I like to call with a partner, for one we can watch more territory, and two soon as I'm gassed then my partner takes over. I call with a lot of intensity so I can only go 45-60 seconds before I need a break. And when you're calling it's my experience that you want to call non stop. Once you stop....they stop.
