    2017 Random shed thread

    It’s a nice area in Iowa. Definitely a lot more popular than five years ago. Good luck in Illinois! We almost went there instead this year. I have a friend from work that is from Schuyler county that was supposed to pull with some ground out there but didn’t. I have a small piece there to hunt...

    2017 Random shed thread

    We were south of Des Moines this year. I saw probably close to 200 deer between driving in the evening and walking and never saw one with either side. They seem to drop a touch earlier than ours. The locals also get a lot soon as they hit. I walked 14 miles according to my phone Saturday to...

    Muzzleloading sabots

    I agree they are costly but i'm not planning on using a lot of them plus I like to shoot long range. If you don't push the velocity with some of the different types they won't expand either. My smokeless is built specifically for them because of the pressure and velocity I need the thicker...

    Muzzleloading sabots

    I wouldn't count out Parkers custom bullets either. I have a custom built by Hankins Custom rifles and it loves though bullets. I pushing 27,500 with them and grouping well at 300yds. I custom size mine with a special die so It doesn't require a sabot. http://www.parkerproductionsinc.com/

    Newbie question

    I manage my clothes in a similar fashion as Iowa buckeye. I use the non scent soap and spray down regularly . I personally don't rely nor trust any of it. Using the wind and terrain to my advantage is my number one priority. I've been winded with optimal scent control many times. I've had them...

    Ridges vs Bottoms

    Always a good reference to what's going on with your scent and thermals is watching a chimney on a house in the winter. The days it's going straight down so is your scent which is opposite is when it goes straight up. Which in my opinion is why there is times when it seems like a deer can't wind...

    Ridges vs Bottoms

    If you come to our area in North east Ohio we don't have terrain so it takes that out of the equation. I do agree with the statement on thermals. I personally don't focus as much on high and low as I do the obvious fresh sign.

    All deer and turkey permits, the Lake Erie charter 1-day fishing license, and 1-day range permit must be printed to be valid.

    Another Outfitter

    I can give you an idea on that. Last year was the most polluted I ever seen the public in Illinois. They have special public now for residents only because they can't get anywhere to hunt on private. Going rate per day is on average $100 per person it goes up exponentially depending on location...

    Another Outfitter

    The outfitters have to show success in order to stay in business. Seems like Ohio is on its way to becoming the next Illinois with outfitters. Just to give you a reference Hadley creek after the year EHD hit dropped there minimum to 130' from 160'. I know just in the past few years out there the...

    Grand River wildlife area

    The grand river area is big and also produces some large bucks. It gets hunted hard by the local Amish community. I trap a piece of private ground which is surrounded by it. We always trap it in the late season but I've seen some phenomenal sign in there from the rut. I wouldn't be afraid to try...

    EHD in Ohio?

    I use minerals as others primarily for pictures so I'm as guilty as the next and agree with others it congregates the deer herd with little benefit. Other states like it's illegal to bait and hunt over still use minerals for pictures in EHD season. Personally one thing I feel that no one...
