  1. Ohio Whitetail Deer Hunting
    My buddy won the lottery and invited me to be his secondary this Saturday. Any advice from folks who have hunted this property before? We don't know our quadrant yet so looking at Topo maps hasn't been fruitful. My slug gun is zeroed for 50 yards... anyone get a sense for the max range of a...

    Why has no one lobbied Mr. Trump for hunter things. First day of deer season national holiday, first day of gun season the same. Maybe ask him for more buck tags allowed and more public land to hunt. O how about nighttime hunting for stubborn bucks, thats a movement i could get behind. There has...

  4. Ohio Whitetail Deer Hunting
    There are many forms and discussions out there about how to get deer to come out during the daytime and for the most part things like mock scraps, rattling, hunting in doe bedding areas do work.

  5. Ohio Whitetail Deer Hunting
    The deer are going to start moving. Lets start a play by play for the prerut, rut, and post rut. If you're in the woods or have been in the woods what are you seeing, is rattling working, grunt calls, doe estrous, etc. Lets make this a 1 stop shop we can all use to see what the deer are doing.

    So while many people out there say to thin the heard on does before the rut not many say how many. With the rut coming up what is a good ratio you go by?
  8. Whitetail Deer Habitat
    In the spring I am going to set up a few food plots. I am aware there are many options out there for plot seeding but i have recently read that apple trees and fruit trees are the best value for food plots becuase of the year to year return and not having to go there and maintain. I see the...

  10. Ohio Whitetail Deer Hunting
    I have been a life long hunter. For the last 20 years very little has changed in October and November. You could always count on when the prerut would happen and the rut every year. The last few years though this seems to have changed. Has anyone else noticed the prerut seems to be much later in...
  11. Deer Camp Talk
    I live near the town of New concord. St route 40 runs to the highway 5 miles from there. 4 out of the 5 miles is heavily trafficed by deer at all times of the night. There is very little lighting and almost no fencing or anything to deter deer from going on the road. With deer movement picking...
