I know that everyone here is waiting for deer season next year, as am I. I can't wait for next year to get here but before it does, theres alot of turkeys that need a shootin. Many peolle on this sight don't have a clue who I am. So I'll tell you, I'm a sohpmore at OU majoring in Spring Turkey 2003. This is my last quarter before classes start to suck ass. My earliest class is 11 on WF, other than that i can hunt any other day of the week week, with access to several hunderd acres of good hunting. Let me say that these are all private access. Anyone who knows what they are doing and has some free time let me know. dt290201@ohiou.edu

[Rt53RecMan]

Sorry for the ****ty spelling, I did say that I'm a OU student. Besides the turkey hunting did I say that I Drink more beer than most.

[george tinkham]

yuo don't say...i'm originally a wood rat from the area but now live in columbus...you picked a good college for partyin and for huntin...

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Welcome to the site there Rt53recman i heard that about those turkeys can't wait to give it a try this year.

[rjolenic]

Welcome RT 53 recman. You must be from sanduky county with a name like that. Do you work at REC 53 near Fremont? I do some hunting out that way.

[Rt53RecMan]

I actually did work at 53 Rec, now that i'm down here at OU I only work there over break, and maybe the summers. I worked in the Archery Department for 5 years mostly during High School, can't think of a better job than shootin and workin on bows all day long.

[rjolenic]

rt53recman,

You have probably done some work on my bow. I hunt out there in Helena at RT 590 and RT 6 in the big patch of woods in that NW corner. Some good hunting there! Maybe I'll drop you a visit this summer at the shop.

[OLDHAT]

Don't any of you @$$holes know that is is "GOLF SEASON"....give it a break for awhile fellas, there is life beyond "Deer Camp", really, there is!

hehehe, I'm back!

Been knocking it "dead stiff" on the golf course, I did however see a few deer, a few Turkey, and even a pheasant today, but not a one of them would "make the book" like the "trophy beer girl" I chatted with today!

FORE!

Oldhat

[Q2XL]

i dont think so oldhat

[rjolenic]

Hey there Oldhat,

I was wondering what happened to you! Good to hear your golf game is already in mid-season form. I am also knocking it stiff off the tee, the irons are tight and the flatstick is making me the boss of the moss. Nothing over a bogey for me in any round this season. The handicap is standing steady at a 2.9 for an 18 hole round. Good luck and good whacking!

128 Days until archery season opens up and 167 days until Deer Camp !!!! Come on hunting season.

:D

[Tailfeathers]

One expensive hobby is enough.
Beside I’m sick to of seeing potential hunting property cleared to make golf courses.
First come the golf course, and then sub divisions………
Golf courses are spring up like dandy lions in central Ohio!

[rjolenic]

Tailfeathers,

You are right about these golf courses popping up all around with future development as a possibility. It "erks" me too! I love golf and hunting so I guess I have to sit this one out.

You are pretty much right though.

rjolenic :(

[Thunderflight]

I'm anti NASCAR and golf.

TF

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Golf whats that.Hunting is life thats all there is to it.And thats all i wait for every year as soon as the season ends i start counting untill next year.Golf is for rich sissy:D Just kidding ray

[Caribou Dreamer2]

I wonder if we could get these golf course to let us in to shoot all the geese and deer hanging out,Whoops i forgot those golfers love to watch wildlife when they are playing there wonderful game of golf:D Me to right under my tree stand,You now the difference between a golfer and a hunter.The golfer waits for the deer to move so he can play on,A hunter waits for the right quarter shot to play on:D

Golf what a wonderful game
Deer camp what a wonderful hobby

[Thunderflight]

I was hooked up with a golf course in Granville last November.

The wifes family of one of our pilots owns the course and was going to let me hunt on or around it. I ended up shooting two deer on the other property I have access to so I never checked any further into it.

I did call and thank them though.... Never burn any bridges...:)

Thunderflight

[OLDHAT]

Rjolenic:

Sounds like we could get a little game going on....I'd have to give you 3/10ths of a shot (I'm a 2.6)...little $20,$20,$20 with 2 down automatic press, press when your "pi$$ed", closeout press, skins, etc.

hehe, I stoked it the other day. I was a sub in a leaque. Anyway, I was playing against the CFO of a farily decent size company. We'll, I had to give this guy 6 pops (I',m a 1 handy as a sub) anyway, the stroke holes...I birdied everyone of them on his butt! I had 6 birds in 9 holes. Didn't even birdy any of the par 5's. This guy thought I was freaking Tiger woods or something, he just watched and kept saying"why arn't you on tour, why arn't you on tour" (little did he know I was playing out of my butt). I swear, this guy would have carried my bag if I woudl have told him to!

Was a really easy course though, only played about 2600 yards for that nine.

Oh, since your a golfer, you'll apreciate this. I went to a "big money scramble" down in Ky last month. One of the guys on my team is on the "Long Drive Tour"....this freaking dude beats it! I'd throw it out there anywhere from 265-290 and this guy would absolutely blow it by me. His longest on the tour is 390 (has to stay in the fairway). He hit one on a par 5 in the scramble that played roughly 513 yards...we hit little knock down p-wedges in from 110 yards. We naturally eagled 2 par 4's....he "cut" driver on 2 diff par 4's that played in the 360 range! When this cat swings, you know how your "parallel at the top" in the back swing?..this dude, on his back-swing had the club-head just over top or behind the ball!

keep your eye out for him if you ever check into the stats on the long drive tour. LasVegas had him ranked 10th in the world when the tour came out there. His name is Rick Fannin.

Ever need a 4th, give me a yell, we could partner up in a best-ball or nasau. If I remember corrrectly, your from Toledo correct?I played college golf and played against (correct me if I am wrong) Toledo State University..was a small school, w/a bunch of hackers that came to an invitational...they could use some help, you should try-out...I don't think any of them carded below an 80...that was 6 years back though!

Oldhat

[rjolenic]

Sounds good to me Oldhat! We can partner up and get a game going any time you want. Ooooooh .... 3/10ths of a stroke, bring it on!!!!!!!! I never get strokes like that and honestly I'm tired of giving them. Name the game.

Pretty cool story about Mr. Golf Ball Whacker Guy! It's neat to watch them blister it out there 350 - 370 and then watch them "meltdown" with the short game. I know a couple of guys like that, but they aren't on the long drive tour .... that's pretty cool that you had him on your foursome.

By the way, that little school in Toledo is the University of Toledo, they just finished in a tie with the Buckeyes in the regionals of the NCAA not too long ago ... a miserable tie for 18th, but at least our Toledo Rockets are making stride. Don't forget, last years Ohio Ametuer winner was the on University of Toledo golf team as well.

I was once involved with college golf, but they were forced to release me due to excessive partying, womanizing and "TOM FOOLERY". So my stay in division one college golf was short, yet it was fun! Keep it straight and out of trouble!

later,

[Caribou Dreamer2]

159 deer on the wall, 159 deers on the wall take on off and pass it around 158 days of deer camp left.

WE are getting closer we are now in the 100 numbers

[OLDHAT]

Rjolenic

Cool, didn''t know the OH AM winner came out of there.
Play a lot of golf with a kid that is on Ohio State's Golf Team. Justin Collins is the kids name. Will probably "make it" on the big tour once he is through.

Keep your eye on the Canadian PGA...am sponsoring a kid by the name of Josh Sine on it (I almost made th move to a mini tour back 6 years ago...won a few college tourny's..wife siad "what do we need to do to get you on "a tour"...I told her 2 years of nothing but practice then I'd be ready....couldn't do it though, I hit it well, but there is some guys out there that absolutely flat out "hit-it", send my butt home sucking my finger!

Funny you mention the "melt-down" effect of those long knockers....you hit it right on the head there....inside of 130, the kid didn't even have a club in his bag he could hit....only knows one speed, and that's swing hard! I on the other hand am death from there in.. I hit this little "trrevino" punch spin..love it.

We need a game!

Oldhat

[rjolenic]

Hey there OLDHAT!

We will get togther someday for a little 18 hole deal and some cocktails afterwards. Let me know if you will ever be in the Toledo area and I will see if I can "pull some strings" and get us out on the historic Inverness Club here. They are hosting the 2003 Senior Open. We have had a few PGA events there and Arnie, Jack and Trevino sem to love the track.

What ever happened to the idea of the Deer camp in your little secret place we were talking about a while ago???

let us know,

ithoyt's (rjolenic)

ps - Inverness is historic, but Sylvania Country Club is a nicer.

[OLDHAT]

RJ:

Hell, I don't know what ever happened to it...I proposed it and sounded like a few of you were up for it, then it was the "Now lets go to penn", now let's go to zaleski, now let's go here, now let's go there, to tell you the truth, and the way I see it, you guys have a lot of good intentions but I think all of you (including me) has A-D-D!

hehehe, if you guys (or anyone) is ever interested in "hooking up" and hunting, let me know, "I'll be there", but "running around like chickens with your heads cut off is pretty silly" don't ya think.

Not picking on you guys, I have went through the same thing with "groups of guys hunting", one wanted to go "here"
, one wanted to go "there", one wanted to "stay" one wanted to "sit" and one wanted to "bark", finally I said "screw you guys, I'm hunting "right here" instead of running around like an idiot.........get my point?

Anyone and everyone is welcome at my "campfire" (besides for a few from the "other site"......hell, I''ll even hang a few extra stands so you don't have to waste hunting time to do it)....all you gott do is "say so", and it's a good as done.

Oldhat

[rjolenic]

We will always go to Zaleski during the second week in November, that's just a given. Good times, good friends and some quality time in the woods with the old bow and arrow.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

I have been hunting the same spot for the past 8 years so i would have to say that my mind is made up.We just throw other ideas in for maybe a second hunt but the orginal hunt will always be in Zalaski .The only thing that changes from year to year is the amount of hunters that so up,Some will make it and some will not for some kind of reason or another,but the past 8 years it is always the same core members.We will wait and see what this year brings.

[george tinkham]

i seen some trads cars that there bow prolly cost more.an that would be my case too if a caved in an bought an overpriced xpensive custom.bowyers charge way too much an are driving out those who would like to particcipate in archery.they act so dedicated to archery,why not slash there prices in half.they can afford too.

[Dear_Hunter]

I got my backpack out to get the spider webs off of it getting ready for deer camp since it comimg so fast. Ok lets see the first thing in is a roll of hunter orange trail marker ribbon. Hello Spitfire how are you? Im doing good.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

What the trail marker for to find you way back out of that big forest.I know someone that got lost the first year down there need a little direction indicater.

THe first thing in my pack is always the compose then a few candy bars you never know and off i go.

[Spitfire]

Who got lost? can't remember! Yea, off you go alright, you don't know when to stop.

[george tinkham]

better be careful carryin those candy bars if you know whats good for you...

[Dear_Hunter]

Yep better watch carring them candy bars in the woods if a big bear get the scent of those he will chase you up a tree and swipe your snickers bar. :D

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Ah nothing beats a good snickers during those long days on stand.

[Q2XL]

id rather have a piece of venison jerky in stead of a candy bar

[WickOhio]

Can September get here already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shoots will get old, tuning the bow will get old, work, food, life, oxygen and everything else.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Wick are feeling a little tense here buddy,I agree can't get here any faster

[Q2XL]

looks like your ready too deer hunt wick

[Spitfire]

I can't agree more Wick! I can't wait to go cap off some rounds at some Dove & Geese. Maybe even an occasional bushytail. August should fly by for me cause I will be gone for a week or more in Montana. There will only be about 10 days till Seprember when I get back.

[WickOhio]

Just feeling the heat today. Lazy day bored and thinking about the season. Got my 7mag out today messing around but I will have to shoot that another day. I am going after the bushy tails this year for sure!!

[Spitfire]

I am going to try and do a little more bushytail hunting myself this year. I did alot of Dove hunting last year and that is a blast.

[Dear_Hunter]

Oh Yea
I want some "BUSHYTAIL". Heck I will shoot Thumper.

[Spitfire]

I thought you were thumper?

[Dear_Hunter]

Your right thats me Thumper, Tree Thumper

[Spitfire]

Better to be a "tree thumper" I guess than a "tree humper"! LOL!!!

[Dear_Hunter]

Your right Spirfire, hey you should have been at the safari shoot today it was a blast.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Ah come sept. we will be hunting bushytails and then one month after that it deer time will be here before we know it.

[Spitfire]

It always was a good shoot. I had several things to get done around here so I decided to stay close to home and get back at a decent time. I'm kind of surprised you all liked it, CD didn't care for it the first time he went.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

You were right i did not like that shoot because i thought it was 3D targets i had my hopes up to shoot 3d elephants and rhino's not flat backs but after shooting 3 d targets for a few years it was nice to go back and shoot them.I believe i will hit it again next year i like the change of pace a little bit.

[Q2XL]

yep sure liked the shoot but man tthose targets are sure deceivin at long distance

[Spitfire]

I tried telling you that a few yrs. ago. You thought I was crazy for wanting to shoot them. I always thought it was fun cause you don't see that kind of target anymore or those animals.

[Dear_Hunter]

Those Black Baboons are very hard to see at 40 plus yards

[Q2XL]

especially with that 6x bifocal lense you was shootin dear hunter

[Dear_Hunter]

I cant help that blind in one eye and cant see out of the other. Heck I had a broken beer bottle jabed into my right eye many moons ago.

[Q2XL]

hey you caribou how many more days left till camp.

We went ahead and got that one. I was just wondering if you guys have reserved your cabins yet? Hope to see everyone down there. We are staying at the Forest cabins near the lodge.

Are you just upset that you won't be able to hunt this year TF? I'm sure the boys will be thinking of you at camp this year, and might even drink a cold one for you.

[Q2XL]

sure will drink a couple of cold ones for you thunderflight

[Caribou Dreamer2]

I can garuantee it will be more than just a few cold one

[Dear_Hunter]

Come on 65 days

[Hoytme2]

what will it feel like once the countdown has hit ONE day til deer season. I will be getting all jiggy. probably wont be able to sleep!!!!!!!!! Not to far away boys. Hope you all are set up and hittin the 10 ring.

[rjolenic]

Not the gettin jiggy trick .... did you learn that from me? Or did you learn the sleeplessness trick from me????? Hope you are all just hittng the kill zone, at this point, screw the 10 ring. Let's just get some meat ... straight from the ol' double - lung trick and the no track job trick (50 yards).

[Spitfire]

I'm ready for the season to get here but i'm not prepared yet. My yardage estimation has been off the last couple weeks so I need to get that fine tuned. I still have to check the tree stands and other equipment. I can't wait til it gets here but right now i'm not ready!

[rjolenic]

I'm ready for the season to get here already! We only have a measley 2 months to go. So we better get he crap ready boys! I will be going out next weekend to hang a couple stands with Hoytme2. Yes, Bri, you heard me right, next weekend!!!! Starting to get that restless feeling, does anyone else know what I mean?

rjo

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Ah sure do,Walked a woods on monday and it sure gets you pump up,But the skeeter man ah man they will carry you away right now though maybe another month they will be less active

[Spitfire]

I'm going to try and get a stand up this Sun. w/ all the crap that is planned I don't know if it will happen. If not, I will do it the following weekend.

[Dear_Hunter]

CD are you starting your scouting the woods already ? Man your on the ball.

[Q2XL]

[Thunderflight]

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Best of all I'll get to hunt too!!!!! :)

TF

[rjolenic]

Good luck to you Thuderflight. God knows that if anyone on this site deserves a good hunt, it's you. Sorry you will only be able to hunt a few days of your season, but I guess it beats not being able to hunt at all like you originally thought.

rjo

[Q2XL]

yea good luck too you thunder let us know how you do..

[Thunderflight]

Man what a morning.

I was on stand at 0540 or so. Around 0600 I heard a deer milling around behind me. Around 0700 I saw a doe and two fawns.

Around 0830 I repositioned my stand and went to work. It was getting hot and I really needed to get back. I used my thermacell and it kept the bugs off too.

All in all it was a great opening day. I don't normally see alot of deer in this area, but it's all I've got. I was pretty stoked just to see a couple deer.

I'll be heading back out in the morning.:)

TF

[rjolenic]

Sounds like you got into some decent action. It's always good to get the heart pumping in conjuction with the overall excitment of opening day. Good luck to you during your shortened season Thunderflight!

rjo

[Thunderflight]

Hopefully I'll get a shot at one tomorrow. I need to relieve some stress.

TF

[rjolenic]

I will put the voodoo on you! It usually works with the other people that I hunt with. So here it comes, don't let any of it miss you. Good luck !

rjo

[Q2XL]

oh no thunderflight you got the voodoo on you now and that not good :eek:

[george tinkham]

remember a fawn is better than none at all especially a short season

[Caribou Dreamer2]

87 deer on the wall, 87 deer on the wall take one off and pass it around 86 days of deer camp left.

[Thunderflight]

Hey, that voodoo was some bad voodoo.

I went out this morning and thought I had a good wind. As soon as I climbed in my tree I realized that it was swirrlying and pretty much blowing in the wrong direction.

So of course I didn't see any deer and I hope I haven't ruined the spot.

TF

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Dang gone must be nice to be sitting in a tree stand in late Aug.i believe it might be a little warm but still be worth it though good luck thunder.

[Thunderflight]

Yesterday wasn't bad. It had rained most of the night so it was actually pretty cool.

TF

[Dear_Hunter]

Oh YEA getting closer Sing It Again Caribou

[Hoytme2]

I promise I will spend more time in the tree this year. No really I will. If I can get out of bed.

[Dear_Hunter]

Hoytme2 dont worry Ray will wake you up to go hunting. Then drink 3 shots of Hillbilly Juice and you will be jumping from tree top to tree top.

[Thunderflight]

I've got one or two hunts left.

TF

[george tinkham]

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Better get off the computer and hunt some there thunder if you only have two hunts left under your belt good luck i hope you score before the big boat goes out.

[Thunderflight]

Trust me I would if I could, but work is killing us. Shoot we're only getting one day off before we leave.

TF

[george tinkham]

you could always" MISS SHIPS MOVEMENT!!!"

[Thunderflight]

Yeah, but that wouldn't help my chances of getting selected for CWO-3.

TF

[chopiq]

I was in the Navy for 6 years, I missed ships movement in Thailalnd once. They didnt appreciate that and they let me know by hiiting me where it counted most, in the wallet. It was worth it though, sweet little Thai girl..lol.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Ah those girls will get you every time

[george tinkham]

i wonder if their is a hooters in ridgeway or montrose near where we will be elk huntin in colo.

[george tinkham]

[Thunderflight]

I had a friend who hooked up with an Airforce chick in Tejon, Spain and missed our flight back to the USA. Lucky for him we had a second plane come in a few hours later.

He got meritorously promoted to Corporal two or three months later.

[WickOhio]

Good time! I wish I could have shot more. Broke my bow down last night and I am going to do some hard core PM on it. New string and replacing lots of little peices.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Good luck wick you will have it back together before you know it and backed shooting.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Another digit down

79 deer on the wall, 79 deer on the wall take one off and pass it around 78 days of deer camp left.

[Q2XL]

too bad a bout the bow wick.keep countin the days there caribou

[Thunderflight]

Look at it this way.

It's better to have had the bow break now then when your drawing on a 180 class monster.

TF

[Spitfire]

Hey Wick, get that bow up and shooting again. I think that thing going off scared me more than it did you.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

You got a point there thunder for once.

[Thunderflight]

Dang CD2,

That kinda hurt......

I'll have to remember that...;)

TF

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Sorry thunder just picken

[Q2XL]

okay now ive seen it all

[WickOhio]

I am having trouble finding info on Golden Eagle. Does anyone know who makes those bows now? All I need is that small bushing to fix the darn thing!

[rjolenic]

It's tough to find any info on Golden Eagle bows. I will check with Mike at Gander to see if he has any info for you. What model is it and what year did you buy buy it? We need to get that bow working for you asap.

rjo

[Q2XL]

ill do some checkin too wick we will get her fixed back before season starts.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Hay wick we need the model and the year of that bow and if it a single or double cam.I think Fred Bear and North American archery bought Golden eagle some time ago do a search that way or contacted them directly by calling 1- 800-342-4751

[Q2XL]

yea good thinkin CARIBOU.that might help :D

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Hay wick check this one out.Time to get that plastic out and treat your self to a early christmas gift.

:D

[Q2XL]

there you go wick that a nice bow

Here's the web address to The North American Archery Group.
Hey CD, you going to get the Buckmaster out and wipe the cob webs off of it?

[Caribou Dreamer2]

I'm sure thinking about it ,she is all setup and ready to go,I believe she will still see some action come this fall,Can't let the old best rest just yet."OLd faithful"

[Q2XL]

you need to leave the buckmaster alone and give them deer a chance caribou:D

[Caribou Dreamer2]

With the way i'm shooting thats what i will bel giving them a chance ,but if old faithful has to come out she will proval:D

[Spitfire]

you shouldn't have messed w/ success! Now your going to be all messed up. :D

[rjolenic]

Keep it simple and stick with what is working. If you can avoid being caught up with the name brand game, you can have a lot of money and shoot just as well as those guys that use that high priced stuff. Just my opinion of course.

rjo

Oh by the way, only 39 more days until we are perched in the tree or sitting in the ground blind waiting for our torphies to walk along.

[Thunderflight]

I only have a matter of hours left.

Deployed man walking....

TF

[rjolenic]

Keep us safe Thunderflight, thank you for your duty and may you return safe with the rest of the crew.

May God Bless America,

rjo
