Michigan bear

[bowhnt]

Wanted to post pictures from my first bear hunt this season in Michigan. Hunted hard with the bow all season but finally got it done with the 30/30
Ended up right at 300 lbs

Persistence pays off . Were you in the U.P. or Lower ??
Sure looks like that U.P. country !!!
My fingers are crossed to draw this year I have been stacking up points !

Nice bear . Just keep putting in Rum Man , I figure my applications for elk and bear are paying someone's salary .

I'm super excited about all the new Price increases. They like to kick us when we are down .

Sad to see for sure. I'm glad I was able to get my bear and elk tags drawn before and increases

Congrats! Looks like a good one. Love that you used the good old 30-30, it's still a fine cartridge.

The elk hunt was a unique experience. Nothing like traveling west. But still amazing none the less. I'll happily keep donating each season for a pure Michigan hunt on the off chance I can draw another one

 

[Rum Man]

Wow !
That's a Beauty !
It's nice to see someone actually draw that tag !

17 years it took. I don't know another person who has drawn a tag. Sounds like they had a tough hunt this year with some lower success with all the heat.

I will agree out West does bring different challenges in it self ! I really enjoyed my time out there in Montana!!
Thanks again for the Ausum pictures!!

Nice looking Michigan bear ! 300 lbs. and up not to many harvested !
I guided bear hunters for 14 years started bear hunting in 1973 in Michigan....always hunted the last hunt in the UP because of guiding and it was easy to get a permit every year ....but you needed to fill it before the October 10 or it got very difficult even some years they were already in there dens for the winter !
Michigan needs to charge non-residents a lot more than they do for tags....look at what many States are charging a lot more !
