What kind of hand calls are you using? Are you using bait as a lure, or both in concert? I'm thinking you're hunting as a team as those things can get pretty nasty. I've had some run-ins with Grizzlies up in Montana just south of Glacier NP. Many years ago but they left an impression I'll never forget. Went to buy a drift boat for a fly fishing guiding business I was involved with, was warned but like the idiots we were..set out anyway. The potential for disaster was there, but it didn't happen. We left in one piece. A couple of hunters a few weeks earlier weren't so lucky, hunting birds, small shot, dogs...you can imagine the rest.
Anyway, it's a dream hunt for me. The ultimate in dangerous game in my opinion. It'll happen.
