    Rut is in full gear. 2 8 points chasing doe. Both grunting. Got to hear one wheeze. And one was drooling while he was sniffing the licking branch…and peeing on the scrape. Had a front row seat! But both were too young. 3 bucks, 4 doe just this morning. Also before the sun came up I got to listen...

    Ohio Bears

    I spoke to my neighbor last week who said HIS neighbor just spotted one. I’m not an expert on bears but I always assumed their mating season was in the summer and they would come over from PA or WV.…and KY. But that bear..or any sightings tells me they’re resident bears living here full time...

    Abdominal separation

    Quick question, is there a certain type of doc I need to see? I’m not real trusting of my GP and who he might refer me to. And is this commonly addressed in the PT world, in other words should I be going to a special PT?

    I did talk to my neighbor who has about 120 acres. His was only 800 bucks so I feel better about that.

    Apparently ODNR is not doing free management plans anymore. Ours is expiring and they’re given us a list of consultants to call. Our rep couldn’t say what they charge but said it’ll pay for itself in about 2 years which means it’s Gonna cost us about 4 grand. What a crock of shit. How much money...

    Abdominal separation

    Sweet! Yeah I could do without surgery. I’m guessing some PT and hard work?

    Thanks. Zero pain other than a weird feeling of constipation. Hoping PT will heal it.

    Abdominal separation

    Anyone ever had one? Saturday I’m laying in bed with my hand on my stomach and I go to sit up by lifting my legs up and I feel what felt like an alien rise from my stomach. Did some research and found out it’s a separation called diastasis recti. Not me but this pic is spot on. CT scan scheduled...

    Perfect morning. Heard hoof steps behind and to my left. I violated my 10 minute rule (don’t move for at least 10 minutes if you think you hear a deer)…just had to adjust my mask after convincing myself it was nothing….it ran an snorted. Then 30 minutes later a thick but tiny rack 8 point with a...

    Funny story...couple years ago I had a blind pretty deep in the woods near where this one is. I nailed these reflective tacks to the trees to guide me back through the dark with my red lense. I'd forgotten about them till this morning. I saw 3 in a row spaced out, then saw 2 pair off to the...
