Has anyone tried a fawn distress call hunting over a bait and if so, how was the results?[/b]

[atomikall]

Have tryed almost all predator calls and have had lots of success with rabbit in distress more then any.

How do they respond? is it in a aggressive manner or is it more out of curiosity,i just want to know if i have to drop the call right after i sound off, or will they casually come in? ::-k

A couple came in slobbering and hot but most were out of curiousity slowly comming in to check out the noise.

We can bait here in Idaho and I have never called at anytime. In my opinion if you are baiting right, the bait should be enough attractant. I am not saying I won't try it someday, but baiting in our country is not easy so I just let the bait do the attracting. Good luck with the calls.

[atomikall]

Yes I bait. My hunt starts in 8 days, I've been baiting for a couple weeks now and have a few nice prospects comming in to eat.

I use my calls just to keep myself sharp, and they work. Plus Im waiting for the day not only a bear comes in but a nice timber for me to pop.

I use knight and hale game calls. :thumbsup1:

[atomikall]

We'll good luck man. I know people that do honey burns every year but I never had too much success with em. Im sure they work under the right circumstances but Ive given those up. Try mixing a bit of sugar in it, it works pretty good also. :thumbsup1: Good luck.

I live in Ontario and as you know the Bearwise program made me not need luck this year. The bears are everywhere I have a feeling the hunters around here are going to do really good this year. My baitsite is getting ripped apart.

I have watched alot of hunting episodes on bear hunting in alberta and ontario, it's hard to imagine that many bears in one area, that's like r deer here.

Yea you can deffinetly compare them to the deer there. This year is going to be nuts I'm still waiting to see if they are giving second game seals.
