Saw the email, checked the website and had a couple hundred people in front of me, and got on a work call. When I got off the phone I just happened to glance at the screen and see that I had a pop up saying that I had to sign on or I’d lose my spot in line. 6 of the 10 minutes in the window had passed. If I wouldn’t have left the message on my screen I would have missed it completely.
June 26, 20232 yr I'm honestly not too worried about it - I can get DMAPs from the landowner of the property I hunt. Just think it's predictable and hilarious that this happened

I expect more doe tags to sell the first day than normal, but overall sales will be in line with prior years. I signed on this morning because I knew I’d be working in from of a computer all day anyway and figured I’d see when I was able to actually get in to make the purchase. The crazy thing to me is that a significant number of the people that are so worried about getting their tags are probably the same ones that would mail their pink envelopes on the Friday before they were accepted to make sure it go to the post office Monday morning for WMUs that still had tags available in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
July 3, 20232 yr Michigan fishing upcoming. This Thursday the 6th somewhere in northern Michigan and then up in the UP on the 11th. I have no other details as the couple we are going with booked both excursions. Guessing it will be smallmouth and maybe brown trout the first outing and then walleye fishing with some pike around. If we get anything, I'll take some pics.
July 7, 20232 yr Update; I missed the first day of fishing due to flight getting canceled and then not getting to Michigan until almost two days later than planned. The other guy on the trip was already in Michigan so he made it. He and the guide fished for steelhead and got two strikes but didn’t land them. They switched over from flies to spinners and he caught five smallmouth. I’ll put a pic up later. Next chance is early next week up in the UP. He has booked an outing for lake trout and salmon.
July 11, 20232 yr Success on Lake Superior today. Five lake trout, two coho salmon, two pink salmon. Big one got away, of course. I’ll post pics once I’m back home.

Got the kids 5C for the easy pickings and I got 3C. I'll get 5C round 2. Kids are still under the mentored program so they can only get one tag.

July 17, 20232 yr Reminds me of one of my old calculus professors whose wife wanted him to take her on a cruise. He told her he refuses to get on board any boat he can't fish off of.
