Default Calling bears in the fall

Has anyone had any luck calling in mature bears in the fall

I got a big bastard that’s been on camera all week and went mia yesterday and today. Wondering if calling will get him back towards the bait

It's never worked for me. If you get a light skiff of snow, tracking it makes for some fun times.

Calling works with my calf elk calls .
Make sure you kind the wind..
Those big black pillows can smell very well..
Using a stand or a climber will help the down wind bears to commit
