Some of you really struggle with a differing idea or recognizing you're the problem. Facts- DNR reported numbers show a ~75% reduction in harvest, people found dead deer from EHD in record numbers in seOH... vs "I don't like what you said because.... I want to do what I want to do. " I know we...

Two Crooks....?

In Athens, the local shitbag outfitter is crying that this is unfair and their area was unaffected....shocker. Same folks that ask for permission to hunt properties and then guide on them. The City is still running doe hunts on its properties- because its pay to play. Laws come too late...

I think it was the HUNTR podcast that said "every state wants all the deer dead". At first it was denial in my mind....but theyre right. Even hearing from the Iowa DNR biologist and other....nothing good. Heard Tonk is retiring this year, Clint will have to bid for the job......amongst rampant...

I dont feel like the sportsmans counsel has any desire to change things. An unrefuted reality is Ohio has some very different issues in different areas. Herd density in seOH no longer appears to be an issue following EHD. Limits likely to be changed. License costs have gone up. Even the big...

Glad somebody can see a Diddy party in OH. Athens 2022-EHD 2023- Hard Drought 2024-Record Drought 2025- Drought and Record EHD The real concerns changing bounce back time to me are the: new weather pattern and hunter behavior. While EHD is pocketed, you'd have to be one ignorant fug to be...

Another 4 days of disappointing hunting in Athens. A 5pt, a spike, two does and a fawn. My area has been nuked by ehd and itchy trigger fingers. I cant imagine things could ever bounce back or that next year wont be another drought.

I think there were 3 grays on my last yr - one had a half a tail but it was teased out and fluffy, another carried it folded up and over like a Pomeranian. Everything is a little different near Athens i guess. lol Last years was relentless with coyotes and two bobcats (General Tsao and Robert)...

Hunted (aka bird watched) Athens last week. Horrible at my place.....saw a spike in three days an heard a dwind hater (think it was a doe and fawn ive had on cam) on the neighbors. Not ideal conditions but seeing corn and food still there tells me the nightmare is real. Have noticed a localish...

Theyre awesome- great warmth, no stink but theyll pil quick, take burrs/seeds in deep and the pile/loft of impact areas like the heels will eventually flatten them fast.....or at least the ones i have bough from local alpaca farms...

In my portion of se OH, I have found Beech and Basswood limbs to be beat ropes and vines...another is stealing an existing scrape branch and affixing it elsewhere Loose dirt below, belly button to chest high, vertical and in a logical spot (hub, dwind of bedding, entry to food, ridge, etc)...

Depends on window layout (IE-archery) and it is raised. A subset aspect to consider is transport and assembly....every wants a box blind, many in those thermal hubs in the woods that are an epic PIA to get anything but a quad to. MY pricing system for anything is go on Marketplace and CL and...

Have noticed more and more. Interestingly less yotes and more fox (both gray and red).

Great to read. Were you guys on a changed/droughty weather pattern when it hit? rebounded? Any advice for folks on the front or backside of a hard hit like seOH?

would be interesting to see with a drought/rain map overlay
