Local Outdoor Writer Shares Expert Bear Calling Techniques

In a recent workshop held in Livingston County, renowned local outdoor writer John Smithson shared valuable insights on bear calling techniques to attract these majestic creatures for observation and photography safely. Smithson, who has penned several articles and books on wildlife in upstate New York, offered his expertise to a group of enthusiastic nature enthusiasts and photographers at the county park.

During the session, Smithson explained the importance of understanding bear behavior and habitat to effectively use call techniques without endangering the animals and the caller. “Bears are naturally curious but also potentially dangerous. Knowing how to bring them closer safely is crucial for any wildlife observer,” Smithson emphasized.

Smithson demonstrated various call sounds that mimic natural bear noises, such as grunts and huffs, and distress calls from smaller animals that might attract a bear’s attention. He used a combination of electronic callers and manual techniques to show how different sounds can be used under various environmental conditions.

Participants were particularly interested in the safety measures discussed. Smithson stressed the importance of maintaining a safe distance, using bear spray as a precaution, and always observing in groups. He also highlighted the best times for bear calling, which are early morning or late evening, when bears are most active.

The workshop also addressed the ethical considerations of attracting wildlife, with Smithson advocating for minimal-impact practices that respect bears’ natural behavior and habitat. “Our goal is to observe and appreciate these animals without causing stress or harm,” he noted.

Local wildlife officials who attended the event reminded participants of the legal guidelines and safety regulations for wildlife observation in the area. They appreciated Smithson’s efforts to educate the public on responsible wildlife interaction.

Attendees left the workshop with enhanced skills and a deeper understanding of bear behavior, equipped with the knowledge to practice bear calling in a safe and respectful manner. Smithson’s practical tips, combined with his engaging teaching style, made for an enjoyable and entertaining experience for all involved.

This event is part of a series of educational workshops aimed at promoting wildlife conservation and safe animal observation practices in Livingston County. The future sessions, which will cover topics such as bird-watching techniques and deer tracking, are eagerly anticipated by all who are passionate about wildlife.
