I was day dreaming about all the states that have alot of big game to hunt and got curious. In my state of Michigan we have Deer,bear,elk and turkey if you consider them big game. Bear,elk and turkey are all by drawing only. Depending on what hunt and in what unit you apply for it may take a few years to get drawn for bear and turkey. Elk on the other hand you may apply and never get drawn . Elk are a once in a life time draw,meaning if you get drawn you can not apply again no matter if you are successful or not. Bear, depending on what unit can be 5 or more years.They use a preference point system,every year you apply and don't get drawn you get a point. I got my bear permit in my second draw . So my question is:1 how many different big game animals do you have avalible to hunt and:2. Whats the application process like? Or is it over the counter?
