Western hunting partner (Michigan)

You can't even put in for a group in MI.

Baldwin is the toughest tag to draw. Heard it was 12 points.
I thought I had seen where to put in under a group for Michigan. I live just south of Red Oak, but have been putting in for Gladwin
 
I'd be interested. I'd like to do some as well. Muley and antelope for sure. I just began researching how to earn points and been contemplating just doing OTC for them if possible. I'm not after trophy animals, just a couple decent bucks.
Keep Me posted. I put in for co elk this year.

This from the Michigan DNR Bear guide: Q:, Can I apply to hunt in a group with other hunters? Yes, you may apply in a hunt party with up to four applicants (including yourself).All applicants in a hunt party will receive a license if the party is selected, except for those who submit an invalid application. The preference point total for the party will be equal to applicant with the fewest number of points. A party is considered nonresident if any applicant is a nonresident. How do I apply with a hunting party? The first person to apply (either you or your hunting partners) chooses a hunt unit(s) and receives a "party ID" number, which is printed on the application receipt. A new party ID number is issued each year. Provide the party ID number to the remaining partners to use when applying to comp
 
Points = ponzi

What the outdoor marketing machine won't tell you is:

Places you can draw - you don't want to go.
Places you want go - you won't draw.


We're reaching the Tipping Point where all this western hunting hullabaloo is going to collapse on itself.

The outdoor hucksters have killed the outdoors.

I guess it does! However there is no chance I'd burn extra points waiting for people. Person with the fewest points. I know you can get a tag in the UP every year or every other year.

Just putting it out there. Good Luck
 
Any other Michiganders ?
Red Oak usually requires 10 points. I know as I have property there. Lots of bears too. Crazy I have to wait that long for a tag. All private property around me for miles. Don't think my area is hunted much because of this. Oh well, guess I will be 81 when I can draw my next tag.
