    This is the second annual bourbon raffle for Milford Band Boosters. If anyone on here wins, I’d be happy to drive some distance to deliver. I’m in Cincy so if you are in cleveland we would need to meet somewhere. https://rafflecreator.com/pages/68465/2024-milford-band-boosters-bourbon-raffle

    What to make of this buck?

    A buck will shed antlers early if he is in poor health. Wounds from cars or hunters can cause it or rut exhaustion. I’ve seen skinny bucks accidentally shot as a doe during muzzy season. They had no body fat and no antlers.

    Does It Make a Difference When You Shoot Does?

    I try to bow kill a doe early. I have rules for it. I try to shoot a lone doe in an easy access area. Nothing too deep into the woods so recovering is less disturbing. My doe this year damn near ran into my yard before she fell. No disturbance at all. I was seeing more bucks before peak...

    NOT burning out a location

    In my experience one hunt, two tops then you need to let it rest for many days if not weeks. A good cold front can change that but I’m in the south part of the state. Erie area is probably much better.

    Which apples and where to get them

    I started with 8 trees from N Whitetail Crabs planted spring of 22. I’m very happy with their growth. I bought M111 rootstock this year and grafted a combination of crabs and people apples. Instead of babying them in pots I planted and caged them in their final spot this spring. So far I ran...

    Turkey Article

    I’m a believer in no closed season on coons. Sometimes a landowner needs to do what is right instead of what the state says.

    Any seasoned veterans willing to share their go-to hunting spots within Caesar Creek, East Fork, or Vinton furnace to the next generation of hunters?

    I’m close to you in Milford. I’m from SE Ohio and when I moved to Cincy I was lost. Gained permission at a few places through networking and hard work. I now do all deer and turkey hunting back home in Gallia Jackson and Vinton counties. I hunted east fork a couple times my first few years...

    EHD

    If you kill a deer that had EHD but survived, you might see evidence of it in damaged hooves. EHD killed a lot of deer around the mines in Vinton/Meigs about 20 years ago. I found dozens of dead deer in my duck spots back then.

    Origin HUNT Redefines American-Made Hunting Gear

    I like it. At least for the shirt. Climb mountains chasing elk and you might strip off layers down to the base and put them back on more than once during a day.

    GUERNSEY COUNTY BLACK BEAR

    Sometime in the last 5-10 years there was a bear in Milford. Several sightings over several days then he was gone.

    Turkey Population

    Does this same buddy trust the government for everything else? Covid “facts” are a good example of why government should not be trusted. The DOW is just another faction of government.

    Turkey Population

    I bought some DP traps this year to start doing something about the nest robbers. I plan to expand into foot holds for next year. No need to wait on government to do the right thing.

    Wild Turkey recipe ideas

    Check out Hank Shaws website. I use his pheasant piccata recipe for turkey breast. Confit recipe for legs or thighs. Turkey leg carnitas. I used to throw away the legs. Once I discovered Hank, never again. I eat nose to tail. Beak to tail.
