This Weekend

[joejoe8]

Been planning on a shed hunting/scouting trip to Ohio for this weekend awhile now. Do you guys think the snow will be gone by Friday? I would love to be there right after the snow melts. But I don't want to waste a day looking in the snow. I will be in southern Ohio (Athens area) Thanks

 

[Gordo]

Id put my money on the snowing being gone. You 'll b good to go

 

[joejoe8]

Thanks Gordo, any tips as for where you've been finding them. Looks like you are having a good year so far.

Yeah, we have temps near 50 tomorrow and Friday. Should be good to go.

Snow should be Gona. Look in the thick stuff

 

[joejoe8]

Thanks! I'm starting to get pumped about the trip now. Maybe Ohio will change my shed hunting luck, Nc has whooped my butt so far.

The one thing ive been doing differently this year is not limiting myself on where to look. Been looking everywhere.

Just about all of them i have found have been in the woods around browse.

Im doing some driving right now and the snow is definitely on its way out.

Drop a line if you go out for a beer or anything in Athens.

I could be wrong, but I would think NC bucks would still be holding since some Ohio bucks are as well. Aren't southern bucks slightly behind schedule of northern?

I thought the same thing! I know they have great rutting action into our winter months.

LOL! we don't have great rutting action all year. Our rut falls about the same as Ohio, Nov. 3-15. Most of my day light buck trailcam pics are when I'm in Ohio. I know 5 different buck shed between Feb 3-8 on our Nc farm. My buddy found 5 in one afternoon, thats unheard of around here.

Huh, interesting. Must be the later rut for bucks farther south. I learned something today!

I guess its because, I'm only 9 hours southeast of Ohio. I've always heard about states like Miss, an Texas the rut runs right into mid Jan. I wish it was the case in our part of Nc, but my wife DOES NOT. lol

 

[finelyshedded]

Interesting to me as well. I know I've seen TV personalities hit Bama in January for their rut. I guess I just assumed NC was more like them instead of Ohio.

Have a safe trip and good luck on the shed hunting!

What part of NC are you from?

My sister moved to asheville a couple years back, and it looks like my folks will be moving there for retirement.

My brother in law just gained access to two prooerties to bow hunt in that area. Im lookin forward to doing some out of state deer hunting in the future!

The terrain reminds me of SE ohio, except for everything being bigger.

If you like beer id suggest going into town and grabbing a bite at Jackie o 's. The students should be filing back in after speing break, but it shoukdnt be TOO bad.

I live an hunt in the Ne corner of the state, very flat an very thick. Thousands an thousands of acers of timber company land. Asheville is other end of the state from me, should be good hunting.

Yes, I'll will need a cold one or six after walking them Ohio hills. We will look Jackie o 's up for sure. If any of you guys want to drink a few an talk hunting, let me know.

Hey Gordo, you ever eat at the Maple Wood Tavern? It's good.
