The area we have looked at can be tailored to fit the needs of everyone. Still trying to make time for us to nail down the plan. The parking areas aren’t too far away. We can break up the hunt into multiple small drives or do just a couple big drives. Really depends on what everyone wants.

Lol today is too cold for me.

Any idea on who thinks they would be in for this hunt? Also, preference on hunting style? Sit the AM and put on drives the rest of the day?

Chance, let’s get a salt fork hunt going. I would love to get some of the guys struggling with EHD on deer. I’m fine with being a dog and I know of some decent areas to put on drives if you guys would be up for it.

Marlin 1895. 45-70 will put down whatever you are chasing. Mine patterns real well with the hornady leverevolution in 325 grains. I have a vortex scope and have no hesitation on letting one fly 200+

Man bundle up, throw in the thermacell insoles, and a couple hot hands. I’ve braved it in subzero before. Really only do it if there is something worth chasing. Can’t say I’ve killed anything spectacular with it being that cold. A go to move in cold weather is wearing a face mask and putting a...

I’m all for salt fork. Several years we’ve killed does at salt fork in muzzleloader and the 2 day gun weekend. Lots of area and good deer density.

Awesome. Absolutely kill him one of the next 3 days. He won’t be able to resist the corn pile.

One bad experience with powerbelts. Fortunately found the deer. Bullet never expanded. Did shoot through a small sapling and killed a deer once with a powerbelt. Switched to Barnes tmz several years ago. Patterned great with my tc inline. Every deer I’ve shot since (at least 5+) have dropped in...

Break the pelvis. Way cleaner. This is my combo that gets it done.

Thanks guys. Giles is correct. Love that gun!

That was my grandpas. Carry it with me for every hunt. He hunted PA and had a camp there back in the 50s-70s since there weren’t many deer in Ohio. I like going to PA to hunt in his memory. Had to put the knife on the deer for the picture.

Took my 45-70. The area we hunt is real thick. Had a bad experience using my grandpas 270 and wounding a buck. No issues shooting through a little brush with the 45-70.

PA public land fatty. Awesome hunt. 5 does this evening. Pretty good natural movement for the last day of rifle season.

Hunting last day of rifle in PA with my cousin. On a decent chunk of public. Pushed to him this morning and saw 3 does but no shots. Sitting for the evening. Doe came by already but too far for a shot. Feels like a deery evening. Good luck to anyone out!

Thanks guys. Got him caped out. Skinniest big buck I’ve ever shot. Literally no fat. Really rutted hard.

Me too! I’ll be sure to post it. Lol didn’t want to post a pic with me trying to hold the antlers on.

Yeah, taxidermist said he can fix it. The bases are pretty big and they line up well.

Pretty crazy feeling to walk up on it and not see antlers

2nd rut is on. 4 bucks pushing a doe this morning. Shot a buck that I didn’t have any history with. The ones I was chasing disappeared before gun week. This deer showed up during gun week. Think the neighbors pushed him in putting on drives. Felt good that I didn’t ruin my 8 year streak of buck...
