WHO: I am interested! WHAT: Long weekend hunt/g2g/beer drinking WHEN: Anytime before Halloween WHERE: Been thinking of hunting Ohio for a while now but really up for anywhere within a days drive. Where are you coming from: Northwest, PA (Erie Area)
Additional thinking (no extra charge)... The CO elk camp, where several from this board gather, is even years...odd year event(s) somewhere mid or eastern US may be a long term option. Selfishly, I'd love to try a Sitka deer hunt...MD I know avails that opportunity. This might be even more doable for some on the east coast.
I am interested WHAT: Early season long weekend hunt WHEN: Columbus Day weekend WHERE: Kentucky Where are you coming from: Northern Illinois Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
You need A spot where there is a ton of public ground surrounding the campsite. I'm talking multiple tracks of public land so guys can spread out and hunt by themselves or in pairs. And I would look at States that typically have cooler temperatures in late October and don't have gun season's opening anywhere near that period. Also, if people want to go maybe a darn good idea to get out there in February or March and scout for a couple of days. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Ohio would work for me. I’m pretty firm on Columbus Day due to being a teacher I’m not really flexible with my schedule Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
well, not so much for the cool temps but that's another reason why I was thinking KY. They have a ton of public land for an eastern state. MI does also, but I don't think anyone wants to pay $200 for a chance to hunt a big ol' 110" Michigan "monster." If I am able to make it down to KY for late season this year, I will do a lot of scouting. Even some boat scouting.
Also, if people have a hard time driving for long periods of time Swamp then you can always ship your gear to someone's house and fly in to a certain location. Then someone picks you up and that person can drive into camp together instead of stressing a person out making them drive 15 hours to a hunting get together. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
I would be interested. Okiebob/Robert Long weekend hunt/ camping Before Halloween/ mid October. Ohio, Indiana or Kentucky Coming from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Could even carpool or pick someone up along the way. I have every piece of camping equipment known to man and then some..
The sika thing is very doable trip. There are camp grounds down in Dorchester country and a ton of public land marsh to hunt them. Black water refuge is the biggest place. The sika rut/bugle starts late September threw October. Early October is the best time. And you have the opportunity to shoot whitetail or sika with same tag. I believe you can shoot up to 3 sika, and 1 being a stag. Sent from my SM-G900V using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Eastern Ohio is doable for me. but again whatever majority wants! I agree with Brett, let's figure at most 10 people show up, we would need a good size chunk of public land to get everyone away from each other. Columbus day weekend sounds like a winner for most? sounds like the easiest thing to vote on right now? All in favor of columbus day weekend? I
I. I can also provide an extensive amount of camping supplies and treestands (climbers and hangers) for those who may not have what they need for this trip.
I live in vinton county and hunt a lot of public. I can honestly say I’ve seen a lot less out of staters this year. I always welcome them and the people that don’t realize their money gives us the land that we are hunting on ha. Mathews Halon Black Eagle outlaws Magnus Buzzcut 4 blades Nasty combo
The Sika thing is a whole deff beast... I have done super cool experience but it’s 180 from whitetail Hunting. GPS, thermacel, hip boots / waders are a must. With that said there is so decent public around black water for whitetails. All that said I still vote OH or KY lol. Need to bust out Busch light and mountain houses nothing like drinking beer around the fire telling hunting stories. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
