I'd call bears any time of day that I could. I'm not expert but I've called several black bears and one grizzly, in two Canadian provinces and one state. Black bears don't seem to stir around as much early in the morning, and all that I've called have been in mid day or late afternoon. It seems useful to figure a black bear is like a teenage boy, sleep late and eat every chance he gets. I like to call in timber or small clearings, some less than half a basketball court, but you have to be able to see downwind.
