It's not like here terrain wise and you will have competition... Just be prepared. Scout a ton online and list your top 6-8 spots to see in person before hanging a set. Be prepared to deal w a hats. Go to small areas over looked, go half day hike in and camp far, canoe access, but have spots that aren't off main trails or easily reached. know how to find buck wind tunnels on the leeward side. Know your thermals. Know your thermals. Know your thermals. Get it? Ohio slobs use crossbows and bait piles- they also drive flat land .... Use the nasty stuff to your advantage. Many times the state is the bedding w nearby ag as food. Pm me if you need anythjng Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'll spare the pissing contest but I'll just state you have no flicking clue what you're talking about or to whom. I'll spend more time in the whitetail world in one calendar year than a few members of this forum combined. Maybe it's my degree, my time at the dec, my whitetail schooling, data logging and habitat work since the late 90s, scouting 12 months a year or just the fact your statement makes me know what you don't. But please feel free to educate me as your confidence has to have some backing better than my little effort. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey chad. The se corner is hilly as in deep ravines- ones you can't always climb. Nasty briars too. The cat is out of the bag w regard to Ohio and big bucks- so avoid the first week of nov and any gun season. That being said- where you're headed weeds out the fat and lazy pretty quick. Some trees that will work w a climber but better off w sticks and stand. Plan on some scouting time prior to your first hang. Learn and understand thermals. Some good ones down there.

Savage 10ml2 smokeless muzzle loader w a sightron s2 3.5-10x42, weatherby vanguard 2 ss 257 wby w minox 3-15x50, Remington sendero 7mmrm w vortex pst 4-16x50.... A few cheapy savages that shoot fantastic but I look forward to hunting w my grandfathers savage 99 300 savage more than anything Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Rather than just say I disagree; What's your basis for that proclamation? I may be a defensive driver but there's still luck in not be injured commuting. Fairest analogy to deer hunting is like playing pro poker. A 5 yo w no skill could win the pot but someone who knows the game and skill set will win far more often on a longer scale. I hunt lacking property in a big pressure area.... And I'll argue you're wrong all day on it just, or even primarily, being luck for everyone. Spend some time w observation stands and logging notes and your tune will change IF you want it to Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It's not what you read- it's what you interpret Most rely on luck to hunt the animal. Deer are most predictable on. Food based movement that occur early and late in the year and fall patterns of movement. Most are too lazy to put any effort forth preparing for these times. I make pinch points- I plant plots- I scout non stop starting the day season ends. Not a luck based hunters approach in anything I do. Does it make me a better person ? Nope. Does it make me a more involved hunter, conservationist and steward of the woods? Yup. Most productive? Not sure what you mean there or what your basis is for inferring what you are. Kill is the singular version.... I prefer to pursue experienceS (plural). Feel free to reference a quality value filled thread on here... Whether a skilled or luck approach is used it will pose a sizable challenge for you Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The loss of the first and last two weeks cripples the guys that scout and out effort forth- chase phase is for the lucky and lazy who,s great skill may be identifying a funnel of some sort Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Best state land tip- and it wasn't mentioned- leave the northeast Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They sell crap and good stuff - totally with Ants though ; shipping typically negates the great deals to just good at best Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The changes they made will affect the season but the past couple of winters will knock numbers down too (for snow belt folks).... No census but they tout great management- ugh Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nothing will increase participation beyond lowering the min age and even that's a long shot- it's and age thing reinforced by our culture.... Not costing. Hell- there is a lack of opportunity that negates the ROI for most folks anyway Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Interesting if they all have the sale Savage 220 will shoot 4-8" groups at 200 yards go with the accutip slugs- they shoot best Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Same 2 yo. Look at the coloration of the legs and throat patch. The nub G4 shows in 1,2,4 pics clearly. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Same time every year- the visibility of day time chasing is what varies dependent on moons phase, pressure (both weather an people pressure) and precip Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Excited about the going out of business sale due any week now in Tonawanda. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Gander Just sells them to stay in business Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Some due better than other but as stated it is the operator who matters most. Then again my savage ml w 300gr Barnes 458 or my 257 weatherby mag seem to hit whitetails ether hammer of Thor kind of force Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great video in every aspect. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Camp can blend you in or break up your outline- the later option works far better in far ore situations Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Scientifically proven by my cams over the past 14 yrs-"most" were to the last 5-10% by mid July ... Not all, but the vast majority Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No one shoots smaller bucks because they wanted to Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

When they ask him about the rutting moon he goes into it in detail. Ultimately you have to be in the right place at the right time. Why are funnels the best? Because they re likely to travel them. Hot does, wind, a gazillion variables can hurt you but a buck, especially a mature one, will travel in cover. Despite what Alsheimer and other deer "experts" say- peak conception is about the same time each year. Some may come in during sept or dec but the 9-12 seems to be the "lockdown" time .... The more does the more subdued... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
