Human Factors
The 4R5 CTAF frequency was being monitored about 25nm southwest from 4R5 from our departure point DLH. At 15; 10; and 5nm; radio calls were made to state our intention to land. No other traffic reported on the CTAF frequency. During descent; at around 2500 ft with a heading of 310deg and a speed of 130kts; an Orange/White Beechcraft Baron crossed our trajectory (left to right) 200 feet in front of us and 50 feet below. A slight turn to the left was initiated to increase separation the two airplanes. A few attempts to initiate contact with the other aircraft on the CTAF frequency were made; but unsuccessful. Some faint radio communication from Moose Lake sharing the same CTAF frequency (in response to my transmissions?) were heard at that same moment. The other airplane seemed to just have taken off from Runway 22 at 4R5. The integration in the pattern and landing on Runway 22 4R5 was non-eventful. Once our airplane was parked and shut down; what seemed like the same Beechcraft Baron was seen overflying the field parallel to Runway 22 at around 2000 ft; one last try to initiate contact with that airplane was again unsuccessful.
SR20 pilot reported an NMAC with a Beechcraft Baron in the vicinity of 4R5.
