Sometimes the best laid plans of Mice and Men go astray. The bear hunt for 2009 seems to be unraveling fast, at least for brother Dean and Myself. I was supposed to leave yesterday to freshen baits and set out a couple new ones, but brother Darryl and his son decided to go back up Monday evening and hunt Tuesday and Wednesday. Since there was only one “hot” bait anyway they will be “chucking” that one up, and setting out a new one before they leave Wednesday evening. I was going to wait till Dean gets off work early Thursday morning, and leave for the Upper Peninsula. Now Dean tells me he’s 90% sure he won’t be going.
I’m working on getting Tony to go with me, but no matter I have to retrieve my 4-wheeler, which I left up there from summer vacation. You think I’d be used to this by now, but it’s still disappointing when your expectations fall way short of what you had planned. So my trip has been cut from 10 days to 4 days, and I may be going by myself. Also I check the long range weather forcast for Marquette and it’s calling for two days of rain during my 4-day hunt. The saga continues!

I sure hope you get a big one Uncle Mike! Sorry to hear about the circumstances but you still have a chance!!!
