Color Phase Black Bear Called and Taken In Idaho
Tom Sorenson of Base Camp Legends contacted us about a Black Bear he called in on a cool spring day in the mountains of Idaho. This is a nice color phase bear, Tom and his wife had been scouting this area for a few weeks prior to calling this beauty.
Tom Sorenson and his color phase Black Bear called in.
Tom lives in Weiser, ID and called this bear less than an hour from his home. Idaho does not allow the use of electronic game callers for big game, including bear and mountain lion. He used a Primos Hyper Lip Cow Call to call the bear. Tom and his wife took up predator calling about a year ago or so, looks like they are catching on pretty quick!
Below is an excerpt from Tom’s story:
“ The game plan was much the same as the previous week – lots of hiking and glassing, and lots of calling. Predator calling was something we’d started last year and in all the sets we’d had yet to call in a bear – call that a bit of foreshadowing. I don’t know the exact score, but I’d imagine it was somewhere around 30 sets and no bears. For the record, those are pretty bad odds. But the law of averages says that we were due.” (more…)
