Ya it is different I live and hunt PA, but I also avidly hunt Ohio. I'm currious of the number of doe that will be killed. I only hunt game lands so it's difficult no matter what, I know a lot of people are making a big deal about it, I talked to ODNR and they said it's to thin the doe numbers out and to make an intense rut. Guess we shall see

 

Wonder how many bucks get called in Monday morning? Should be humorous

I'm sure there will be quite a few that get called in and a few that won't be called in.

 

In the stand this morning, 4 does spotted so far. Nothing in range.

I've been off work for a solid to weeks (thanks gov't shutdown) but have only been able to hunt twice. Partly due to hot weather, but mostly due to getting things done for the wedding. My wife wanted us to make most of the decorations ourselves, so I had been working on that. Was going to hunt this morning, but instead, I'm sick in bed. This bites. Can't hunt when I'm coughing up lungs.

 

^^ I seem to have the same crap. Yuck

Had a close call yesterday morning with a dandy though. Just needed a bit more light..........

 

saw a heavy 6 pointer this morning, but not much, went this evening with the wife, she slung one out there, but missed, bad lighting probably, but she got one out there!

 

Well Guys I made it in the stand tonight. Unfortunately I didn't see much. This was a new stand that I put up last Thursday. I was really optimistic but I didn't see anything. I think I had a bad wind. I picked the better of my two stands based on the wind but in all reality the wind wasn't good for either. Also I think until it cools off a little more the deer won't be moving much in the daylight. Just thought I should give an update. I'm guessing the weather is going to change fairly soon which will really help.

 

I went over to our lease on Friday afternoon. I knew it was going to be a bad weekend with the temps and wind. Filmed two bucks that came out at 6:10pm and milled around for a bit then took off. Might go out this coming Saturday but really just waiting until the end of the month when things should start popping.

 

Heading to the stand this afternoon. Checked a Mock scrape this weekend and a buck had just peed in it.

 

In the stand for a quick 1 1/2 hr sit.

 

Well guys my #1 hit lister is finally back. Tunnel vision for me now

 

Shouldn't be too long before he starts to slip up during daylight.

 

Awesome Bro! Come on Cold Weather!!

 

Got out to the stand at 3:40, which was about 40 minutes later than I wanted to. Was walking into the woods and swore I smelled deer pee. Got 20 yards from where I put up my climber and kicked up a deer. Brush was too thick to see if it was a buck or a doe. Wish I'd gotten here when I wanted to. I figured I'd try anyway since it didn't snort or stomp, but have seen nothing but squrrel since.

 

sorry i have't been on for awhile. Its been going good. i had a buck yesterday i was going to shoot but he got into the brush before i could shoot. don't know how big he was but i looked at the rack from the side and i liked it it. 5 points and the g-4 was 4 to 5 inches long. dark rack. i put up a new stand for next morning i can get out. my old one broke when i stood up to try to shoot this buck. one of the cables on the side broke. glad i had my safety harness on if the other one would have broke. Good Luck everyone.

 

Things are starting to heat up here. Seeing more and more deer. Almost that time!!!!

 

I have yet to see a deer from the stand yet. Only 2 weeks and 2 days and I will be enroute to Kansas. Pretty sure I will see some deer out there in stand.

 

We are Finally getting some really cool weather here. Thursday High 56/Low 37. Friday the same. Saturday morning 32!!! It should be WILD here the next few days and I am PUMPED!!!!

 

Well I made it in the stand last night and saw nothing but a black squirrel. It was cold yesterday. Wind blowing 15 mph at 32 degrees. I thought the weather would make em move because we had flurries for a while but nothing came in. On a cool side note while driving out of the woods a few miles down the road I witnessed my very first white deer. I couldn't tell if it was an albino because it's head was facing away but it was completely white! Also I finally have some bucks on camera which is a relief. I almost thought I've bought my cam for nothing because all I was getting was does, squirrels, turkeys, and tons of raccoon pics. Here are the pics I got in the last few days of the bucks.
