Cool story T J. I enjoyed meeting you as well and look forward to many hunts together. Too bad I can only take one other guy to the private land tomorrow.

Loooooooong day!
Left the house around 3:30 am, picked Dave up at the hotel, drove to nearly Marietta, Oh. Got in the woods just at day light. Flocks of Robins and other small noisey birds kept me on my toes for the first 2 hrs.
Usually by 9, at the place I was, is when it's been most productive. 9:30 showed up but the deer hadn't. I was gettin antsy to get moving, as the frost melted off and the leaves were wet and quiet. I made my self stay a little longer.

Off in the direction where I'd left Dave, I heard a deer blow," Busted" I thought. Then I heard scurrying headed my way. I was on full alert. Then I saw movement, brown hide slidin through the brush. Then it stopped at 20 yards, broadside, slight quartering away. Drawing back, dang brush in the way, better not, doesn't feel right. Oh wait, there's another, stops behind brush, first one moves behind tree, second one still behind brush, lean back slightly to see if first one is coming out, second one moves into opening, draw back, dang brush again, I might be able to get through there, better not try it, uh oh, big eyes spotted me, stamping right foot the game is up ,gone!

Good stories! I'm living through you guys right now, my little one has been sick for three days.  Nothing serious, just a virus. I have been sitting at home with her and lurking around here.  I'll get to hunt later, keep up the good work gentlemen.

Joe I'm having about the same luck here. Yesterday neither my wife, son or I saw anything. This morning I saw one button buck. I think it's the moon.I'm going to go back out today from 11-1 or something and see if they are travelling mid day.

One more day before armagedon   :scared:

All that and only one pic & two stories....

Was it Dave that spooked the deer to you?

Did Dave ever get a shot off or see any Ohio bucks? Bet he was too busy thinking about turkey dinner.   :biglaugh:

Okay. Kenny already filled you all in on the tags and assorted Sundries so we'll skip to the day one hunt.

T.J. and Kenny are supposed to be there at 6:30am so I go out at 6:00am to check on the weather. It is about 55 degrees out and the wind is blowing sheets of rain straight sideways. Figure I'll learn real quick how serious the youngster T.J. is about hunting. I know Kenny is dumb like me and will show up.

Go back out at 6:30 and they both pull in, good starting marks for T.J. We do the cursory introductions and load in. Next time I ride with T.J. I need to spray some PAM around the doorway of his car so I can get into it. I was not a good fit but managed to get in.

We followed Kenny to where we were hunting for the morning. Kenny was kind enough to take a pic of us (T.J. is standing about 8 inches up the bank behind me so we can see his face too. lol). Seeing how T.J. was dressed I knew he was in for a rough day. The temps were supposed to drop about 30 degrees. Wet, windy and cold don't mix well with fleece on the outside. A lesson learned well by him that day.

Kenny said goodbye and T.J. and I got down to business. I gave him some idea of the lay of the land and sent him down a side trail that goes right through an area Kenny had jumped deer in a week before. I headed up the hill and things got fun.

The lower area of this hunting grounds is made up of a mix of evergreens and hardwoods. Excellent turkey roosting area, but Kenny had already told me there weren't any turkeys in here so I had passed on buying a turkey tag    :banghead: . So of course I start to hear what must be helicopters all around me, no wait, it's a flock of turkeys coming down from roost. At least a dozen and the first one comes down about 5 yards n front of me and just stands there. 4 more are about 8 yards to my right and a few a little further up above me come down. Aaaarrrgghhhh!!!!!
