After watching Inslee’s speech the other day I am almost certain it will be extended and bear will be cancelled. It sucks.

However, I will still be driving over the same weekends I would have hunted in order to scout hoping I draw the tag again next year!
Good for you ,this crap is depressing as @$!:#
It's good to get out and get some fresh air .May luck be with ya ,maybe find some sheds or something.

I haven’t seen any bears in 101 yet but the roads are thawing out! By mid may when you guys can come fill tags it’ll be perfect. Keep your hopes up gents!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

Kodiak brown bear spring permit hunt closed also. 2020 permit holders get tags in 22. Not sure yet if you have to maintain residency.

Best two weeks of the season though.  Green up and pre rut.  I know a majority of bears, where I was, were killed after June 5 last year. If it were me and I knew I would be able to hunt the last two weeks of the season, id keep the tag and hunt for sure.

Nope not burning my points on 11 days to hunt ,when the season is normally 2 1/2 month .No way .
You will see my points in next year's draw.
If it don't open by may 5, I'm out .This is the first permit I've ever drawn and I've lived here my whole life but only have been hitting points for about 5 years so not in the game very long.
But for a first draw what a peice of $@!#.

I was all set had vacation from work.I had watched every spring bear hunt on YouTube,Sighted in my rifle ,and just general target practice in March .Had a game plan that I'd be working the predator call double down for bear or cougar in April ,Did Alot of e-scouting in March.Then into may I would just start glassing every cut I could get my eyes on.Was gonna take the 7mm for distance the same rifle I sighted in in March.To tell guys the truth I've been a little on the depressed side ,and really just turned off by anything hunting related besides this forum lately.I pretty much have all my cams out by now any given year haven't done it .
Alot of other hunting related stuff that I just don't care to do.

Michigan governor just signed executive order to open outdoor activities, such as fishing and golfing, after they had large protests last couple days at the Michigan capitol.  Apparently sending emails didnt work in Michigan either...

Well if that psycho lady can open up hunting and fishing then Inslee better get on it!
