Been applying for a couple of years, haven't drawn, looks like it's possible to draw the 3rd season/period this year, though more likely next year....

Do I want to hunt the 3rd period? vs. the 2nd vs. 1st?

Is one really better than another?

I think I don't have a problem waiting to draw the 2nd period, instead of the 3rd, but not sure I want to wait for the 1st period.

Going to be hunting the Baraga unit when I do....considering bow....?

What are the best options? over bait? dogs? spot n stalk?

How is baraga? the UP? Have taken 2 nice bears before, so would be looking for something nice, not just anything, though sounds like a trophy/monster is unlikely.
