Ohio Traditional Deer Hunt 2012. Success!!!

[Longbow Dale]

I am another Michigander who would like to join your hunt in November. I would also like to order a shirt Size Large.  Please let me know how to pay for the shirt and let me know if there is anything else you need.  I am really looking forward to this hunt -- it sounds like a lot of fun!

Larry I live near buckeye lake.

Charlie, Are you going down friday night? I'm gonna bring my rifle so I can wack some squirrels while I'm down there. I also asked alex and logan what they thought but haven't heard back from em.
Did Tony get ahold of you? He told me he may not make it down this year because they are starting a new contract and he won't have any vaca time.

My parents live on off 21 in Massillon. I grew up in Canton and played football at McKinley for a couple years before "retiring" due to too many injuries. You can guess how I feel about their move to Massillon!

Navarre has some EXCELLENT deer hunting spots from what I have heard. Never got to hunt the area myself, but have heard plenty of stories back in the day(80's) when I was a kid.

You are still welcome in camp Larry, even if you are a fan of the boys to the west of Canton!           Just messing with you. I haven't really followed the McKinley vs. Massillon rivalry since I moved away from the area. I know it is still strong, but I have bigger fish to fry!

Matt,

Yeah, I heard from Tony. He might make it down for a day, but that's about it. I won't be down to AEP for the scouting trip until Sat morning(8th). I will leave as early as I can to get there at a decent time, but leaving Friday night isn't an option.

Hey Larry your on the top of the page!

[Boester19]

Just got back from camping at AEP..was nice to get back out there, got me even more excited for the hunt!  

[celticknot]

Did you and steph go out fpr your vaca?

[tking308]

Anyone that has been to AEP before...
I've been looking over my Ohio "topo" atlas at the are we're hunting and I've got a couple questions. First,  my topo map isn't really a topo map. No contour lines at all. What's the terrain like?  My map shows lots of ponds within a mile of the campsite, are the areas around these ponds wooded? I've got to find a REAL topo map.

[Longbowlogan]

Almost all the land is wooded there, only a few crop fields and grown-up fields that I know of. There are a lot or patches of pines that have been planted through out AEP property also.

You need to be part mountain goat to climb some of the hills down there

Dale,

Just saw your post. You are welcome to come on down. I will put you on the hunt and shirt list.

God bless,
Charlie

Well last weekend I hiked through guernsey countys course 3 times and shot 105 targets and today I probably walked 8 miles finding dove fields so I'm getting the legs warmed up for the hunt. Anyone goin dove huntin openin day?

[celticknot]

So how many people plan on attending the scouting trip, itKs my bday that weekend but fortuanatly the wife is working so I'll be there. Yall get to see me become an old man, turnin 30.

[buckeye_hunter]

It's looking like we don't have much interest for the scouting trip. That's okay. That will leave more squirrels for me and Matt to shoot while scouting! Larry, have you decided on whether or not you are coming down?

[GingivitisKahn]

I might be able to get out there for some or all of the 8th (not the 9th though).  No clue about Dylan though - his schedule is currently very girlfriend-centric.

Are you guys camping there Friday night or just showing up sometime Saturday?

[kennyb]

Hey Guys-cannot make the scouting trip in early September! Please keep us posted on how things are looking or whatever you find i.e. rubs, scrapes etc.! I'm saving my vacation time for November.
Dale-look forward to meeting you at camp!
Thanks Charlie & Matthew!

sounds good jim it'll be good to see ya more than once a year
lol

[celticknot]

well heard from logan today, way it looks him and alex aren't coming to scout.

[buckeye_hunter]

Scouting trip is being cancelled due to lack of interest. That's a lot of gas money etc. for no one to show up. Matt and I are going to hunt locally that day instead. Not a big deal, but I figured I could save the gas money for all the other things/sports my kids are using my money to buy or play.

[celticknot]

Is anyone still excited about this hunt?
