How about the 29th.    I'd love to come out and spend a week hunting in Ohio during the pre-rut.

We are going to Shawnee this year or else I would be in. I stayed in lake Hope several times and hunted Zaleski. I saw a ton of big bucks and shot under a huge 140 class deer the first year I went. A few years ago on November 11, 12 and 13 I called in 13 bucks with grunt tube. I passed on a few small bucks within 15 yards, but couldn't get clear shots at some monsters. It is a great place to hunt.

Good luck
Gil

The last four years we have done the Ohio Trad Deer Hunt out on AEP land during the 2nd week of November. Had some close calls with good bucks. I am not sure if it will happen again this year. I'll keep an eye out to see what you all are up to. Might save my days off to do more gun hunting this year. Not sure......

The 22nd could work for me.

Another place that you could consider is Wolf Creek Wildlife Area in Morgan County. It has over 3500 acres with food plots and Wayne National Forest around it. In all there is close to 100,000 acres to hunt. There is also a primitive campground with water. It is a real good place to hunt. I have always seen deer there. If you take St. Rt.78 south out of McConnellsville Wolf Creek is about 8-9 miles south. Also right down the road is Burr Oak State Forest with 1,000's of arces also and there is cabins you can rent or stay at the lodge. There is also a 3-D archery range you can practice on. Hope this might help.

Very interesting. Sounds like a good hunt. I'll be in WV that week.

Im really getting excited about this hunt comming up I bought myself a nice tent and sleeping bag and a air mattress. I plan on bringing a fish fryer and some propane tanks but so far I dont have any fish to bring..lol Its been a busy spring this year for me  and havent been out alot to fish this year the lake here was flooded from all the rain this spring and they couldnt let it down until the flooding in nashville had stopped.Anyway if anyone has some fish they want to bring I think sat night we should have a deer steak and fish night. crappie,walleye and perch are my favs.I hope to bring at least some walleye up.Also I think it would be fun if you have a bow you want to trad bring it to the camp and we will have a trad blanket.I do hope this trad hunt happens Ill be there thursday night and set up camp maybe some of you that are going could help make some signs so that we can all camp close together and not be spread out all over the park.I think im more excited about this than I am about getting married on the 2nd of oct..lol  hope to see yall there..  Robbie

Is there any truth to the rumor that there are feral hogs in there? If so what kind of numbers are you looking at for a hog population there?

Thanks in advance!

God bless,Mudd
