 Understanding Michigan Black Bear May 11, 2003
A very interesting book that covered a lot of places that I have backpacked. I found the bears in the Porcupine Mountains to be very docile when encountering them. I was amazed to find out that people had been attacked in the same area and years that I had travelled through there. There are always two sides to every story and this book tells it's side very well.

 The case for bear hunting using hounds and baiting. May 5, 1999
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Written in 1995, this book argues for the continuation of bear hunting in Michigan and the continued use of baiting and hounds. The author also critiques the opposition's arguments against those practices. The use of baiting was put to a subsequent state wide vote and the practice was retained. This book is an interesting case study of the issue with a pro-hunting emphasis, but it will interest opposition types seeking to understand the pro-hunting case. The book is endorsed by the Michigan United Conservation Clubs organization. It has some interesting accounts of bears and advice for handling encounters based on actual experience but lacks a bibliography and lacks references to studies referred to in the text. Written in a magazine-type style with short chapters, this 187 page book can complement the serious reader's shelf of bear books. This reader bought the book in 1999.
