I think the chic terminology is:

You Go Girl!!!!


Congratulations! My last hunt was 2008 and I'm hoping to draw again in a year or two.

Takes 13 to draw Baldwin 7 to draw Redoak good luck when you do. I should draw a Baldwin tag next year.

Yes, my 2008 bear was a coveted Baldwin unit bear. I had been putting in since the inception of point system back in late 1990's. My next one I'm going for would be Red Oak. With Baldwin unit, they're giving out about 70 permits a year and there's 2100 applying in that unit right now.  Some of those layers (ie those applying with 12 points) have 100-200 applicants, so it will take two years just for that layer to draw tags. The way I figured it, it would be 30 years before I drew another Baldwin Unit tag starting from scratch after my 2008 bear. That's too long, so I'm jumping over to the Red Oak.  Still want to do it all myself, thus that effectively takes the Upper Peninsula off my list.

:clapper:     :shaka:   Congrats! on a great bear, and cool you got trail cam pictures to boot.  I'm always amazed at how quiet bears are when they come in, one minute nothing then you look again and surprise.  Congrats again, and good luck with our up coming bow season.

Congratulations! Nice bear.

A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be . . . time to commune with your inner soul as you share the outdoors with the birds, animals, and fish that live there.
