just wondering if anyone has had any luck calling in black bears in eastern US(South Carolina, Georgia, or North Carolina) with predator calls...

Never called outside of Washington state. But I have done well with predator calls and cow elk calls. I love to see one with slober all over his face.

I have baited them,but never called them.

I'll let you know how it works on Kodiak brownies in about three weeks. I leave April 22 for an eight day brown bear hunt of Afognak and plan to use a predator call.

Stay safe, man! Wish you a good hunt!

Maybe you should take an electronic call full of gun shot sounds... LOL

I am getting the shivers (in a good way) just thinking about calling in a brownie.
Man what a rush that would be.
Good luck.

Thanks for the encouragement RH.

I have to admit, I am a little nervous about this hunt. Those coast brownies are just tremendous and I understand they can take a pounding before calling it quits.

You just want that Rush!
Have to be mighty sure of yourself! No quessing!
