We had 38 people apply that we hunt with and not one person drew a permit ? You would think that someone would have got a tag out of all of us? Newberry area .

man that sucks 38 people and no tags, thats horrible odds.

five of us applied for the gladwin unit, not one in the bunch got lucky this year. would of been nice for my newbie friend to draw one.

i've been pretty lucky in the past with 3 tags in the last 6 drawings.
just gives me more time now for some of that quality fall fishing.

ive just been racking up the points till im ready for one guy i work with got one for somewhere in the up. how was your luck it gladwin?

Yeah! My 3 freinds and I got one for the Baraga unit last year (1st week) and much to my surprize, 3 of us recieved one this year for the Gwinn unit (2nd week).

It was sooooo hot last year, I only seen 2 bear; I finally connected on a fat sow the last 15 minutes of the last day. It had cooled to about 68 degrees and i was hunting right on the edge of a swamp. It was in the low to mid 80's all week prior.

My father in-law has a permit for the red oak unit. At 70 yrs. old going for his first bear. Baits are slow right now, lot's of natural food's to compete with. :banghead:
A couple of good frost's and things will pick up. :div20:

naw there ain't no bears in the gladwin area.
this one (#347) don't live there anymore!

really theres only a few small pockets that suports bears and lots of apps. for the few tags that are given. we have filled all the tags my group has gotten. except my last one. had quiet a few opportunitys on lesser ones and passed on a nice #300 boar, because the big boy showed up, but the big one just wouldn't play the game right! :banghead: but hey memories are what keep us coming back for more. :div20:
