My brown bear was a spot and stalk, he passed by after I spotted and set up on him. I've called in black bears for other hunters several times and called in a brown bear sow that I passed up the night before last. I've also set up treestands for them just as you would a whitetail. I checked: passer-by (treestand/blind), calls and other (spot and stalk).
