Hopefully I'll be hunting in Michigan next month for firearms.... Of course my costs will be a little more involved as a non-resident.

Sounds like a good deal you got there in Michigan, then again, there are a heck of a lot more all around sportsmen up there than there are in Indiana.

I like the $36 bear permit I read a few posts back in Canada.... we don't even *have* the suckers here in Indiana.... you have to get drawn for it in Michigan, as you do elk... not an easy task either.
