Who is hunting opening day in Ohio?
« on: September 26, 2007, 12:04:00 PM »
I'll be out  in the morning, but have to work that night so i wont get to go in the evening.

Having a hard time finding a food source this season. I can' find but a handful of white oak acorns.There are several red oak acorns but they seem to beeating them as soon as they fall and moving on. The hay fields in my area are mostly dead and have no access to corn fields.

Scott, I will be hunting all day in two locations. One morning spot not over water and an evening stand by the water. The stands are 22 miles apart. The drive will be my only break for the day. I will do this traveling around 11:00am.

No food source and it is hot. We have not had rain in over 15 days with record high temps. So, I say hunt the water holes and find a good place on a small creek holing water with a cut feild and a thicket as transition and staging zones.

Last weekend those were my thoughts, but now they say rain tonight and tomorrow. If so, that blows my plans and hard work I put in last weekend. See,,, I hung a stand in such a spot not to close to where we usualy meet up.
Maybe the plan will work out regardless of rain or not.

Who knows,,, I may be done and dragging by 10:00AM.

Scott or anyone here who know where I am talking about, can use my stand anytime. It is located in the mines past the 3 ponds by the old building, 1st dip in the road and on the right there is a dry wash grown over. Follow the right side of the wash down to the bigger creek. The otherside of the creek there is a hollow and the stand is just up the hill/bank in the center of the hollow and overlooking the first flat. It's in a smaller maple with limbs, but you should see it and the steps.... Big buck sign too!

Dang Mr. Adkins, If you're out there at the mines drive by and honk or come by at dark. Look for the jeep wrangler, green.

Haven't missed opening day in 21 years.  Be out all day Saturday and Sunday.  Gotta get the bags of ice ready 'cause they're calling for 75 and sunny!

I have to bring my mom and dad up from circleville this weekend.  :banghead:  Wont be able to hunt this opening day. First time I've missed one in a long time. My parents helth is not great so its time to move them a bit closer. I guess it's ok to miss for a good reason. Luck to all that go out

Looks like I gotta sit this one out. New job and we're behind, means working Saturday. Then tonight we learned that my wife's grandma passed away. She was in her 90's and has lived a long good life, we expected it. The funeral will probably be Saturday.

I keep telling myself it's too hot anyway...lol...

I will be there all day.  Taking Monday off as well to hunt.  I am counting the hours.  Hung my stand last Saturday and scouted some.  Saw 15 deer that evening, so I am pumped.  The forcasted wind direction could be a little better, but hopefully with the morning thermals and the hill I'm on, it will be OK.

I checked at one last area this morning and found alot of white oak acorns and a dead buck


 


I saw one real small buck and was able to get within about 10 yards. the pics is fromabout 30 but the camera doesn't have any zoom. Deer is by the tree


 . there were acorns every where but not a whole lot of sign.

Joe, I may drop by your jeep on saturday at dark and see if you need any help dragging. I'm not going to hunt sat evening because if i would get one i wouldn't have time to cut it up before work. I went ahead and took next week off fromthis sunday to next sunday.
