I’ve been getting out about once a week since deer gun season. The pups have matured into a pretty good pack of young dogs with few bad habits. (knocking on wood).

The fellas over in Harrison Co. did a little damage.

Boy that was a good day. We went out last Friday and really struggled to jump rabbits. I think we only had 5 up all day.

No doubt!

Oh man. I remember having those boots in the 70's! 0 grams of thinsulate in those things.

Got out on Saturday down in Harrison County. Frost made it tough at first but things got rolling pretty well. Had one chase go 2.5 hours. Finally shot the rabbit so we could give them a water break! We probably had 8 up all together. We never really got out of sight of the truck all day.

Little buck came in about 8:30 and bedded down dead straight away 30 yds. In front of my stand. Not a stick between us. I have been pinned for almost an hour. About froze Couldn’t stand it anymore. Busted him and some deer behind me when I moved. Think I’ll drive over east tonight if the wind...

Good luck fellas. Going to be a pretty sunrise in Fairfield Co.

I can't get my friends in gear until after deer gun season. I run my dog 4-5 days a week year round around where I live. But can't seem to get anyone else to go any earlier than December. A lot of the landowners we hunt on don't want us to start before deer season either.

Wet and miserable. Only saw one little buck and about 40 turkeys.

If my first priority was coyotes I wouldn't have thought of the 45-70 first. I bought one whatever year they first became legal in Ohio for deer. I've shot a couple different types of factory ammo through it and was pretty underwhelmed by the performance. I decided after a couple years that a 12...

Yeah it was. Nobody had been in there yet this year. The guy bow hunts it through January so we usually don't get to hit it until Feb.

Haven't checked on you guys for awhile. Sounds like everybody is still after them. I've been getting out about once a week and it's been mostly good. I skipped the really warm weekend because of the deer ticks though. Hunted 4 young dogs near Cadiz yesterday. We jumped 12. Most of them ran -...

My sentiments exactly - Lets Go! Glad to get gun season behind us. I'll be heading down to Harrison Co. on Sat. to meet up with some friends and hunt for real for the first time. I'm hoping it's cold enough this week to slow the daggone ticks down some. They were really lousy down there...
