  1. Been a rough year for me this year., took last week of crossbow off and 1st 3 days of gun with a total of 110 hours in treestand  and no shot opportunities.Only saw deer in 2 of those days.Took my climber yesterday and went on the state land that borders my property and found a swamp with lots of sign and found a perfect tree to watch from.Got there today at 2:30 this afternoon and this buck came out at 3:45.

  2. I have been hunting the woods. Yesterday was the 1st time I have seen a deer this season.It was at 605 am , just when you are able to make out shapes and see the trees.It came within 5 yds of my stand but I couldn't tell if it was a buck or doe.My guess was it's a buck being that it was alone and I was saying to myself why couldn't you wait another 30 mins when I could see better.I hunted all day and at 1155 am I turned my head to look down the logging road to my right just in time to catch a very large bodied deer crossing the logging road. Another second or 2 and I would have never seen it. Unfortunately I didn't get a good look at it's head.No doubt a buck cruising.I am on vacation until Nov 23rd and plan on hunting everyday all day. The weather forecast looks pretty good. Good luck everyone.

    No you idiot, they counted in person ballots first and the went to mail in ballots... Democrats voted majority by mail it’s not rocket science. This really isn’t difficult to understand for anyone who can read at a 4th grade level

    You keep believing all that Merlot.  Fact is as I stated. He’s got Big Mouth and he’s an Ahole and that’s why he lost. 

    It's true, he was on his way to win with a landslide. He was way ahead in all the states he needed to win.700,000 in PA with 75% of the vote counted, then at 3am something I've never seen before in a election, 3 states quit counting that had Trump with a large lead, PA being one of them.Guess what? when they started counting again Biden was ahead in 2 of those states and within a couple days he caught up with Trump in PA. You say there's no voter fraud. Really?

    Nice looking mount.  My largest-racked buck was a similar "hole in horn" 9-point.  The holes give them a little character.  I like a typical rack, with character, more than a "perfect" one or almost any non- typical.

     My uncle, who did the mount for me, claimed that the hole was caused by a fly bite when the buck was in velvet.

      

    Thanks, Yeah the hole makes him unique. My taxidermist also said it was caused by a fly.

  6. My wife and I went to Ohio for a few days to visit our daughter whose going to college in Cedarville and also spend a couple days at our property.When I got back to the motel after checking my trail cameras, I immediately took a shower to wash off any loose ticks that I may have Last Spring when I was down there the ticks were awful. I did find one but other than that I thought all was good.The following morning I noticed a few bumps on my ankles.We left to  go to Cedarville to see our daughter and when we got there my ankles were starting to itch and I noticed that I was breaking out really bad.The next morning I had red raised spots from my feet all the way to my waist and the itching was unbearable.My wife went to Walmart and got some Cortizone 10 cream to help stop the itching.She ended up going back to get more as one tube wasn't enough.I thought I must have got into some poison ivy or sumac.I looked into the internet and saw pictures of people with similar red spots and realized that chiggers were responsible for my discomfort.I heard of chiggers before but really didn't know what they were, now unfortunately I do.Here's a pic of one of my ankles.I 'm guessing I must have 300 to 400 hundred bites altogether.

  7. Had my property recently logged and thought I would try planting a food plot along a 50yd  stretch of the  logging road.All I had for tools was a garden rake, lawn rake hand held spreader and a chain saw.It was a lot of work but I enjoy this kind of stuff.I put 400#s of lime on it , then used Bio Logic ph fertilizer and seeded it with White Tail Institute's Secret Spot. Here's a couple of pics of what it looked liked after 1 week.Need some rain.

    Nice pictures of an obviously great property!

    I'm currently looking at bow hunting public land in Ohio this fall.

    Any suggestions?

    My nephew has been hunting public land in Muskingum County Ohio, which is 1 of the top booner counties in Ohio.He shot a 221# 10 pt last year that grossed over 160 with his cross bow.That's probably all the information I can give you without him getting too mad at me.He just got the mount back , what a buck.
