How to Call in a Black Bear with Clay Owens

Bears will come into a predator call!

It’s really pretty simple…much like calling coyotes and other predators.

  • When you’re calling black bears, use a jackrabbit/bear cub distress sound…being as “sorrowful” as possible.
  • Call loudly and don’t let up for 20 up to 40 minutes.
  • Seeing bears before you begin to call always ups your odds of success.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
