Good for you  Chuck.
You could use some time in the woods.
You have been putting in some long hours the last few months.

I must have sensed it...I had taken a hunk of bear meat out of the freezer this morning.  Scott "Stool Man" from HuntMore have me a great new marinade recipe at  Compton.  20 minutes in the vacuum sealer and bingo      

Saved the last bite for you to look forward to Chuck!


 


Drop me a line, I can tell you a bunch of mistakes I made, it might help you out.

Good job. Don't know Baraga but I know a really good spot in Amasa (which I would have let you in on). Last time I hunted it I saw four different Bears on opening night. I should draw next year with 6 points after this year. My son wanted to go this year but I wasn't into it quite yet.  The spot is near my dads old house.

Congrats buddy!

Good luck Chuck...I have lots of points but just never given it serious consideration so I'll be interested to hear about your hunting experience.

Hey Thanks all.
This will be very fun and adventurous. This is one of the best bear tags for Michigan, and I am really pumped. Some phone calls have been made and information gathering has begun.
Steve O is next on my hit list for Bear hunting advice AND bear cooking recipes.  

[Lin Rhea]

Congratulations Chuck!

[Mike Vines]

You will not regret getting bear cooking tips from Steve. After having one of the roasts he cooked up at deer camp a few years ago, he forever changed how I look at bear hunting.  Even planning my first bear hunt for Manitoba next year.

I used to think of bears as giant raccoons.  Now I look at them as giant raccoons that taste AWESOME.

oh I like me some Bear Mike. I have ate plenty of em. BUT! I am always willing to try new stuff and that little morsel that Steve posted looks mighty fine.
I will try and take care of the first point of business first. Getting that critter on the ground. Then we can cook him.
I need to have me a chitchat with SteveO real soon.

[Rathbuck]

Congrats!  I struck out again on a bear tag and an elk tag this year.  Just whitetails for me again.

Good luck on your adventure!

Chuck, when you and  Owlbait  come for our stump shoot I will make us a bear roast.
Bear, fried  taters ,salad, Red Arrow Club cake and dark beer.

[Whip]

Congratulations Chuck!  You'll make the best of a great tag, I have no doubt!

[2treks]

Thanks again to you all.
My "Local Contact" will be returning from a missions trip to Alaska this weekend. I will be on the horn with him this week and set the wheels in motion fully.
So far I have,
Decided to grow my Beard starting now.
Going to have a natural ground blind and an
-elevated stand(at least one of each)
Started my "Mountain Man" work-out routine.

Now I need to decide what bow/arrow set up I need.

TreeDancer, that's sounds fine to me! YUM!

[sticksnstones]

That's awesome Chuck! I can give you written permission to camp on my 25 acres in Elo for up to 90 days this calendar year (township limit for unimproved timber land) if a base camp would help ya.
