I used to look forward to calling bears every year, I used a cub distress call often when I knew there were bears in the area .
Two issues with using the distress call of a young prey animal or the distress call of a cub are
A: if you have a boar in the area hS is going to be coming in to a dinner bell .
B: if there is a sow in the era with Cubs she nay just send them up s tree then come in to help out what she thinks may be a lost cub or or come in to lay a beating on whatever is about to harm said cub!
Either way , these situations tend to invite trouble and arevless than desirable to anyone but a young and crazy Hunter with a longbow or caplock muzzle loader!
After my wife and I had the kids I decided that spotting and stalking was a better alternative....
