I feel like I've seen a handful of posts with your name in the past. Maybe the 230+" buck you had pics of?

Either way, good to see you chiming in. Most of us have met or gotten to know each other virtually thru the forum. Pretty amazing to think the first time I met Jackalope Joe in person. . . He drove to my house. We went to the airport. Flew to Gulfport Mississippi. Bought a truck. Stayed at a cousin's in Jackson ,MS. Drove to Nashville to stay at a friend of mines house and a night on the town. And back to Ohio with the new (to me) truck. I'm not saying you have to take a road trip with a virtual hunting buddy. You don't even have to go to a TOO event. BUT, there have been some pretty solid friendships made around TOO camp fires. Feel free to make yourself at home.

Thanks for all the comments and looking forward to getting to know you guys more. Had this trail camera picture come up in the summer at a old mineral site. Maybe 7 of them and plan to work on them after deer season. I have zero experience but what I’ve read on here before plus YouTube I’m hoping to pick off a few before late Spring.

Welcome. I live in NW Ashtabula, where did you grow up?
I grew up in North Kingsville close to the Lake Erie by which I spent my fair time out there with dad. Great walleye (no weights) and perch catches however now the perch have disappeared in that area which bums me as for years I looked forward to taking my son and daughter when they were on fire.

Welcome aboard! Cabin looks awesome BTW! Looking forward to meeting you someday at a Strouds event! You’ll be amongst the privileged few to see how thee biggest A-hole in the community works on perfecting his craft and personality. It’s really quite remarkable how much assholishness can fit in just one body but our one and only @Dustinb80 proves it each and every event, but we still tolerate the Irish fan no matter how much they SUCK!😎🖕🏻🤣

GO BUCKS!!!!! O……H………

Welcome to the site!
I look foward to more of your posts.

I grew up in kingsville. There was a time when I was the only Ashtabula member here. Now there are 4-5. Strouds is a bit of a haul to get to but once you start going, it’s a given you’ll go every year!

I live in Oak Ridge which is just west of Knoxville. I call her the Campbell Cabin which is really more of a small home where I plan to retire. I bought the property in 2019 which included the cabin that was constructed approximately 20 years with structurally insulated panels (SIP) and nothing inside was finished. She has a strong foundation however had to replace the roof as well as most of the rafters (spliced boards between panels with leaking skylight), utilities brought up to it, as well as everything else you see with a lot of hard rewarding work, etc…. Has been great to work on with my dad and uncle and obviously couldn’t do without them as I look up to both of them and try to make the most of the memories we have from it. Gradually will be working on the inside to get that cleaned up and finished with hopeful plan for a wrap around front porch to finish her off with.

That ain't a cabin that a damn house bud! Looks awesome.
