    I’ve been shooting for a few months now. Getting the new rig ready sighted in and just getting comfortable with it. I’m more accurate then ever now..... I wait.

    Not prepared at all. I'm going to try to get some trimming done and some stands moved over the next two weeks...

    Moved a stand, shot my bow for 1 1/2 hours yesterday. Pulled a card. Got a picture of a buck that was only around for maybe a week in October last year and never saw him again. Hopefully he hangs around longer this year. 20200904_211922.jpeg 20200904_195514.jpeg

    My God Dude! What a difference a state makes. Being your neighbor to the north in Michigan, it stuns our imagination to see all these pics of quality deer in Ohio year after year. Quality Michigan bucks are a small fraction of what you guys have down there - we have similar numbers of deer I believe but again, only a small fraction of them make it to 3 years old. Ohio's deer managers are definately doing something right, be thankful for what you got! Awesome pics!

    Amen brother! The dilemma has been "how" to stop an entire state from that mentality? It has to be "institutionally" or agency mandated and there just don't seem to be the will to do so. We do have a disadvantage that a lot of other states don't have - Michigan has the single largest tracts of Federal lands east of the Mississippi, which attracts a lot of out of state hunters who I would guess are more concerned with being successful than maintaining a more mature herd. A bachelor group like your picture shows is a rare sight in most places in Michigan.
