This weekend?

[joejoe8]

A buddy an I are headed back up to Ohio this weekend. Not really expecting much, never hunted late season in Ohio. Our season is over in Nc, so we thought it would be fun to try it again for a weekend in Ohio. Are you guys seeing any morning movement at all?

 

[Buckmaster]

Movement should be limited this weekend as it will be cold and windy but you can't get them sitting on the couch.
Good luck and have fun.

I saw a few moving back to their bedding areas at first light yesterday but nothing this morning. It was pretty windy here this morning so that may have had something to do with it. I've heard people here say hunting in the morning this time of year is usually not productive but I have a buck tag to fill still so I'm at it every chance I get. Evenings have been without a doubt more productive for deer sightings for me though this past month or so.

Deer will have to be up on their feet moving throughout the day with the very cold temps coming in...hunting should be good.

Good luck man. Keep me posted on how it's going.

That's my experience with cold weather late season hunting. I wish I was home and in the snow, because I am 90 percent sure Id arrow something. Besides anytime there is snow on the ground its a nice day in the woods. Good luck to you.

We don't get to hunt in the snow very often, so pretty excited about that. With the wind they are calling for looks like I'll be hunting low.

I thought about putting in one last hurra this weekend. Doing a noon to dark hunt. I would like to shoot another deer before the season ends.

My buddy has been corning a few spots up for us. Not expecting much, but you never know. I passed a few bucks back in November I'd love to see this trip. Not worried about horn size, just looking something mature. We will see if hbs is as good as they say.lol

FYI.. I went out last weekend and sat all day from 0545 - 6pm and saw a ton of does in the AM and 1/2 of the same doe herd came back in the evening to finish feeding.. I few weeks back I topped off feeder and set it run 15sec AM and PM and I dumped a bag in front of feeder and the 3 cams I position around feeder area and had 11 deer in one pic at 10am standing and feeding and feeding and feeding.. It was crazy.. I was bummed that I didn't see one buck in any of the pics from the cams, but the corn brings in the deer.

JMTC.. good luck...

Good luck, I was out with my sons squirrel hunting in Athens on Sunday. Be sure to verify that it is not a shed buck, I glassed several mature bucks missing their head gear. Also spoke with many landowners there that had several reports of half racked bucks seen from the road.

Yep that would make me sick. My buddy is checking camera's today, hopefully something worth hunting. If not I'll be fine with shed hunting an scouting.
