Controlled hunts

[NWOHhunter]

I swung and missed!!! Anyone successful on their draws????

 

[nathan.luthman]

I didnt put in for any online. Still have the TRC drawing on Wednesday. And a couple others I'll go to.

 

[Mike]

I'm not even going to look. Haven't hit for 10 years.

 

[Buckmaster]

0-2 for me.

 

[OhioWhiteTails]

I didn't put in. Every year I say that I'm going to enter some and never do. Can't win if you don't enter....

 

[Mike]

I spend $18 each year.

Just give me your $18 Mike....

 

[giles]

It’s $18...I’ve seen you eat, you could easily spend that on one fast food meal. Keep playing!!!

Good luck, how’d you two end up with shed hunting this year, Nick?

Sounds like a good money maker for the ODNR

I was pretty lucky with the draws 12-15 years ago (Ravenna x3, Plum Brook, Mosquito x3). I no longer buy a license so you can’t apply for a controlled hunt without a license, which is stupid. I’d freely pay the $3 for each opportunity and buy the license if chosen but that’s not an option.

We did okay. It seems to get harder and harder to spend time walking for sheds as I get older and busier. We picked up quite a few small ones this year, nothing too crazy. Sarah did find a side of a nice up and comer we had out back last year. Hopefully he is around again this season.

Awesome man! Doing any traveling this season?

Surprisingly, less than 10% of licensed hunters in Ohio actually apply for the controlled hunts. I bet the state's not breaking even. There will probably be a day when these controlled hunt opportunities are gone.

No concrete plans just yet. I have a standing invite to hunt in NY with a buddy of mine and am also considering PA again but am not thrilled about the Saturday gun opener. It will mostly depend on if we can get our bucks on the ground early here in Ohio.

My uncle pulled a Plumbrook archery hunt and asked me to join him. Signing paperwork this week for a Sat. 2/1 archery hunt. Even though I grew up on a dead end road to the facility and have had the opportunity to help the ODNR with the hunts, nothing compares to entering the complex knowing you are there to hunt.

It's gonna be cold, windy, snowing and there won't be any antlers but it's still a NASA hunt....and the Orion capsule just rolled into her gates this AM for testing at the SPF
