I am planning on going on my first bear hunt this fall in the UP and I was wondering if anyone recommended any outfitters up there.

It is important and i dont know anyone i can recommend.

I have one in Wisconsin and am pleased.

Sorry

Keep us posted after your hunt this year, I'm building pts in MI, not sure when/where in the UP I'll be going but in the next few years is the plan.

bow? gun? I heard that you can't hunt bear out of a treestand with a rifle/gun? I think I'm just bowhunting anyway, but still.

Robv,,I take you figure you have enough points to gaurantee you have a hunt this fall.
Next,Which area are you planning on hunting?? also which hunt are you applying for?
Also are you looking to stand hunt or hunt behind dogs??
I can check with some guy's I know and get some names to you.
Another thing yes you can hunt from a raised platform with rifle.
I live in the U.P. so if I can I'll try to help you out.

I have 7 points so I am guaranteed a hunt. I don't have a preference where I go since this will be my first bear. I will be hunting with a rifle and plan on going on the first hunt period. I'd like to get one at least 250 pounds if I can.

Rob check your private messages,looking forward to pass along some info

Jeff Debaker at Superior game ranch has been doing quite well with his hunters for free ranging bears in the UP... Check him out at www.superiorgameranch.com

I have a guide for hunting over bait and one for hunting behind hounds,But Rob you gotta get a hold of me PM me or call me,I'll give you the info and you can go from there.
