Michigan bear hunt

This fall I will be hunting bear for the first time here in Michigan! Are there any MI bear hunters out there? Looking for what area should I apply for? Is there a good way to be successful with little to no scouting and not using dogs?
 
Hello, there may be a little more info at https://www.michigan-sportsman.com/ , if not already there. We have property in the ‘Baraga Unit’, a relative dabbles in bear guiding, booked out a few years. He does the bait piles.

In MI it’s either a bait pile or dogs, other than that, extreme luck. One needs a good spot, then run the pile early enough to get bears coming in. The good spot allows daytime visits, that 2:00 A.M. camera shot does little good for hunting.

I’d get a plan before putting in for a tag(May). The 1st ‘period’ is best, bears not as spooked.
