Ohio Traditional Deer Hunt 2012. Success!!!

[Shane C]

This sounds like fun. I'm moving to Toledo in a month and a half so, finding places to hunt is going to be nice. If I can get away from school for a weekend I will try to make the drive down there and join you guys. I'd take a large t-shirt. How much are they?

Shane,
PM sent. If you can make it that would be good. Is your move to Toledo permanent?

Squaretop,

Welcome back to trad archery! Hopefully you make it out this Fall. Are you thinking of flying to Ohio?

Charlie, I'm thinking P.A.  I'll be Elk hunting with some P.A. buddies in Colorado this fall and will give them my Ohio camping gear to take back. That way I just bring my bow and clothes and either rent or borrow a vehicle to meet you guys. My niece lives in Columbus so I might be able to  visit there as well.

Having your gear in PA would make life easier.

I would like to get out to Colorado for an elk hunt one of these days myself. My understanding is, it is one of the most affordable places to elk hunt.

Are you guys planning to pack meat out on your back or do you have horses for the hunt? Hopefully it makes for some good stories this fall!

Hey Charlie I oughta make it in and see everyone, need to get them ol' boys from Vermont back down here.

[buckeye_hunter]

Good to hear from ya' Levi!    

The Vermont Crew is supposed to come at some point in October. I will have to check with Fred and find out when they will be setting up camp. I wouldn't mind hunting with them for a weekend.

It would be good to see you down there too. How is school going, or are you done?

HOw far is this from Columbus. My daughter teaches at OSU, and it is a 5 hour drive to get there from here in southern KY. Everytime I drive up 71 I see tons of deer, especially in the fall. I might consider this if you guys dont mind?

[Squaretoparcher]

Well, we can talk about that if I see you in Ohio.  I'm always looking for a partner.  I hunt solo every other year  I use a trailer as a base camp.  When I have company I backpack into the wilderness a few miles.  I have friends with horses to pack the meat out if it becomes difficult. it is still the most affordable elk hunt around although tags have doubled since I first started traveling there, now $550 for either sex. My friends drive straight through from Erie, passing through Columbus, they could always use another driver/someone to split the gas with.

Koger,

From Columbus it is roughly 2 hours. You can come up if it works out for you. You are certainly welcome to sit at the fire.

Squaretop,

If you are looking for an elk hunting partner, I might be able to help with that! It would depend on the details, but sure sounds interesting..... Do you guys normally get into the elk pretty good? I have no issue shooting either a cow or a bull. If there are cow only tags and they are cheaper, it would be even more feasible for me to come out that way. I have been to Colorado once and LOVED it.

Charlie, still got around four more years, 2 associates and a bachelors to work on, started summer courses a week or two ago. I'll have to try and get down more this year, I'll take a Large shirt as well Thanks sir'

[buckeye_hunter]

Gotcha on the shirt Levi. Keep in those books!

[tuscarawasbowman]

Seriously considering coming down. I won't know for sure until closer to the date. Looks like a good time though.

[buckeye_hunter]

You are certainly welcome to come and hunt deer or just hang out at the fire a bit!

This is a fun hunt! Last year was my first time going to it and everyone made me feel welcome. My first evening there I stalked within 15 yards of a 135"-140"  10pt. It's a ton of land and you won't even know where to start lol  I saw deer every day I was there. Hope to see everyone down there!

[bowmofo]

I hope to make this years hunt, last year I missed the hunt & the rut due to work, construction work  is feast or famine, I guess I take it as it comes!

[buckeye_hunter]

Hey Mike! Glad to see you posted. I'm just glad to hear you had work. Sometimes it can be hard to come by.

Wished I was able to make the turkey shoot, but had funds and time tied up elsewhere. That is by far my favorite shoot of the year!

You doing the squirrel hunt/fundraiser this year?

Anyway, hope to see you down there this November!

[Squaretoparcher]

Charlie,don't know if you got my earlier message: make mine an XL T shirt.
