Ohio Traditional Deer Hunt 2012. Success!!!

[Longbowlogan]

Sounds good Charlie! Alex is suppose to send the money for his and mine, I'll have to remind him! If you find me turkeys I'll shoot them  

[bansheewins]

Charlie,  you should be getting my money I put it in the mail Thursday at work.  Can't wait getting pretty excited.

Just so everyone knows it's an option. Me and a couple guys have brought the smokepoles aka bang bangs and done some hunting in the afternoons after lunch for squirrels grouse woodcock and rabbits. You basic hunting license will cover all of this. And for you guys from out of state buy an either sex tag for deer if this is the only time you plan to come hunt ohio this season. And if you do plan to hunt any birds such as woodcock or grouse please do the HIP survey on your hunting license.  I want yall to have a good experience while your down here so you should experience it all.  :D  Bring a good attitude and lots of arras. And all your BS. lol

Looks like due to work I will be hunting the 6th 7th and 8th this year. If I am lucky, I will pitch camp on the 3rd and hunt for that day before returning to work until the 6th. Getting more excited by the day!

[celticknot]

come on we are 2 weeks away and there is barely any movement on this board, lets talk about what your campin in what food your bringin, just talk. lol

That would probably be a good thing since I have not tent camped since I was in Scouts. I am borrowing my brother's tent, which will be WAY too big. I think it is a 6 person. So if anyone is on the fence about coming but doesn't have a tent they can bunk with me. Plenty of space

[tradhunterRN]

Oh and I was looking at google maps trying to find this campsite. Is it on the corner of township road 2 and township road 13?

[celticknot]

Head east on 13 off of 83 and you will see a small lake on the left, the camping sites are on the east bank of the lake. I really recommend for you fellas nylon tent camping borrowing or purchasing a mr. buddy heater, or some form of a propane heater, and bring a grill proprane tank and the adapter hose and leave the tank outside and your heater in, it will save you a bundle on propane sine you'll burn a one pound bottle a night.

it is just past TR2

Charlie, I sent My shirt $ last week.  Let me now if it arrived; don't want you to "cover".

If you have a nylon tent, get a "big" tarp to go completely over it. This will stop the wind from going thru it, and keep some heat it. I dont recomend sleeping with the heat on all night. I personally turn mine on for about 10min in the morning to take the chill out of the air and to dry up any moisture.

Coming from the sunny south there just isn't any way I can survive the brutal conditions in a tent.  So I'm showing up in this.

 

I was actually gonna bring a tent but oldskool balked at the idea.  Something to do about a pee-can, not to be confused with a pecan as pronounced down here.  I don't know the whole story so you guys be sure to ask around the campfire.

As for food I plan to bring the normal stuff like hog jawls, grits 'possum & the like.

[oldskool]

We won't go there Pac

Oh    I thought your computer was still on the fritz

This will be primetime for deer movement when we are down there this year, you won't catch me chasing tree rats during deer season. Especially in November when the bucks will be cruising      I might chase some turkeys with the recurve while I'm down there but no smallgame for me

Might be tough finding a tarp that will fit over a 6 person tent  :(

[tradhunterRN]

I was also wondering; do you guys normally hunt in pairs? This will be my first time on this property, plus it is my first year bowhunting so I want to soak up and learn as much as I can.

[Friends call me Pac]

I don't know if the others are hunting in pairs, it's my first hunt with them too.  I figure I kept oldskool safe from the gators and killer razorbacks when he came down here hunting with me so I'm kind of hoping for the same up there.

I doubt if there are many gators or hogs but I am told bigfoot might be roaming around as well as snowbeast or two.  Plus when I get lost I will have someone to find me out there before I ice over.

[bghunter76]

Get n real close now looking forward to meeting lots of new people this year.

[buckeye_hunter]

Getting lost isn't an issue. Down there, getting out of the woods usually means climbing up a hill. So if you are lost, climb a hill and you will likely find a road!

I love hunting the power lines and ravines! I'm also hoping for a good cold snap and the moon phase should be good as well I think. I haven't done much hunting this year so I am ready to spend some long spells in the woods. If a coyote, turkey or deer shows itself the arrows are flying!
