Anybody call bear from a treestand.Thought I would use my climbing stand with my scorpion and a fawn decoy to try to fill my spring bear tag.I'm hunting by myself and I thought it would make me feel a little safer.Have a cougar tag too.
 
I think I will set up a 1/2 hour before daylight and toot a cow elk call when going to my stand to cover any noise.I'll wear rubber boots and head to toe camo and climb 25 to 30 feet to hide any scent.
 
Another suggestion, find a wallow that bears are using, or a meadow where they are eating grass, skunk cabbage, wild onions, so forth. and use a climbin treestand, It's real tough to "cold call" a bear. They have the attention span of a ten year old boy. But if you find a spot where bears are feeding, or coming for water on a regular basis, you will have them. Just a fact, bears need water once a day. If its dry, water is a huge bear magnet.
 
Last year I found a area by a beaver pond where there was lots of scat with skunk cabbage.Up in the heights I seen plenty scat with salal berries.
