Michigan Bear Guide?

I am putting in for the lottery this year in Michigan for bear. I don't see too many guides or outfitters for this area if I get a bear permit. Anyone have some advice or suggestions?
Thanks

paramedic607:
Do you have any preference points built up?
If you put in for a low-draw area it may take you up to 5 years to draw a tag.
Taken for the Michigan DNR:
Bear drawing success rates vary by bear management unit and hunt date. An applicant with no preference points may be drawn for a hunt that is in low demand, while a unit in higher demand may require 5 or more points to draw a tag. From year to year, applicants may apply for any hunt they choose, and their total preference points will be considered in each drawing.
Applicants may apply for a harvest tag or apply for a preference point only, banking the point for future drawings. Applicants must be of legal age to hunt in this year's bear hunting season to be eligible to apply for a preference point (Hunt No. 00). Only one point will be awarded in a given year.
Persons who fail to apply or are ineligible to apply for a license for three consecutive years will lose their points.
Take care and Good Hunting!
Best Afield,
Steve

I put in for either one of the two high demand zones. I think for the next few years (I wasn't drawn) I will do preference points only till I get to about 5 or 6. I am thinking about heading up to WaWa for a black bear hunt, I have viewed alot of big bears come out of that area.
