CMT---We are looking to get to OH possibly Saturday morning November 1st....setting up camp then hunting the afternoon. I am thinking we could hunt from Sunday the 2nd to Wednesday the 5th, give or take a day. Also, anyone that plans on going please PM me your e-mail. We can set up an email distribution list and discuss all kinds of things like supplies, topo scouting, etc. Also, nothing is set in stone. If someone has a better option than the Wayne National Forest I am all ears.
dmen, I am happy you can make it! Also, anyone that plans on going please PM me your e-mail. We can set up an email distribution list and discuss all kinds of things like supplies, topo scouting, etc.
Do we have any specifics on where we want to stay. If we are looking at meeting up on Saturday morning I will have to leave Fiday the 31st and crash at a cheap hotel somewhere close by. It will probably be a 14 hour drive for me. I will plan on hunting all week, if anyone else is interested in staying that long.
No specifics yet. I was looking over some maps the other day. That is why I am trying to get everyone on the e-mail list. We can narrow down where we want to camp in proximity to the area we would like to hunt. I think Saturday morning would be a good time to meet up. We could set up base camp and possibly still be able to hunt the afternoon for a few hours.
I thought I sent you my email address, if not I will pm you it again. Feel free to send me some emails of what you ar looking at. A guy from my local archery shop has hunted a lot on public land in Ohio and told me he could give me some ideas of places as well. I could pick his brain with what you are looking at and look for other suggestions as well. Let me know. I have not camped out in many years so some ideas on what I need to pick up to be comfortable would be greatly appreciatd as well.
Ill prob be down at the Wayne when you guys are. I PM'd my email so I can keep in touch with you guys.
Sorry Dmen. My wife got a new job and I will be switching shifts at work. Hopefully they will honor the leave I've already been granted. I should know in the next couple of weeks.
I should be ok because I have some help with the kids. I don't think I will have a problem getting my leave days honored. I am starting to get more e-mails from people stating they want/will be attending, so I really want to make it. I am 90% confident I will be able to do so. Heck, what is the point of me working 30-40 hours of overtime every month over the past three months if I can't hunt a little!
Even though my wife's job changed and it makes things a little more difficult for me, I still plan on attending. I am thinking about arriving early Saturday morning on Nov 1st, set a quick camp with you guys, then hit the woods in the afternoon. I can stay until about Wednesday November 5th but I am sure some of you would like to stay the entire week and that is cool. Or people can start arriving as early as Oct 30 or 31st and start setting a good campsite before everyone else arrives. That right there would get you a free case of beer from me. So does arriving late on Oct 31st or early on Nov 1st sound good to you guys?
Same here buddy. Once your life slows down a bit we can do it again! Please get stationed somewhere there is good hunting.
