If you are in central Ohio get your ass on the woods and now! Went to pull a card on a cam. Had a shooter dogging a doe grunting every step not 40 yards up the hill. Was still pushing her around when I left..

Walked 500 yards to grab a seat cushion. I used in a stand sat and Sunday without any action.. I get 90 yards from the stand and hear grunting every breath.. Out shoots a doe into the field amd a upper 140 class 10 was on her ass. Nose down grunting.. She saw me and stopped. He neber once took his eyes off her and looked at me... He snuck up for a sniff and she took off. With him in tow grunting up a storm.

Go!

Saw two single does and a small 8 point... No chasing or dogging.... The does were by them selves and nothing was behind them..... FML......

Yeah, did you see the Jefferson county #'s???? Man that's depressing.... I haven't hunted Jefferson in a about 5 years but man the deer down there were great.... Always had between 8-10 on an average day.....

No, I haven't seen the numbers yet. I can tell you this though... when I first started hunting in the early 90's there were deer everywhere. Now, not so much.

Wow! I know all my buddies that hunt haven't seen crap during this rut. Cynergy is the only one I know that connected so far. My neighbor took this whole week off and started his all day hunts last Saturday. He called me today and said he's only seen 6 bucks and none shooters.
