    Ramcat broadheads

    I never personally shot a deer with them but I had a buddy that used them for a year and I was very impressed with the consistency and field tip like accuracy from them.

    Team 12 up and running

    I'm here. Just had freak surgery on my right hand...so I had to go buy a crossbow for this season. Hopefully I can still get a good one in the bag.

    EHD in Ohio?

    My buddy found one in western Summit county today. Can't guarantee it was ehd but wide open gaping mouth and what not makes me feel like it is.

    Best 3 days??

    I've got to disagree with you slightly. I understand your point, but spending too much time in the woods you hunt can certainly have a negative impact on deer movement. There are two guys that hunt the same property that my wife and myself hunt. They hunt their same two stands all weekend every...

    EHD in Ohio?

    Buddy of mine found a dead buck in his creek over the weekend. Noble county I think.

    Best 3 days??

    I would choose the 11th-15th without a doubt. I'm in NE Ohio and I didn't even see a buck chase a doe on my main property until the evening of the 12th last year. I took my buck the morning of the 13th and when I took it to the taxidermist in the afternoon, he told us that the phone was ringing...

    The Greater Cleveland area....

    I'm not really in the towns you listed but I hunt a lot of pretty urbanized areas in Summit county so maybe I can give you some insight about what to expect. Cities and towns allow a lot of bucks to reach an older age class because access sucks. That will be your main issue. Urban areas often...

    When's your bowcation?

    What part of Ohio are you in? The more time I spend in the woods, the more I like later in the rut. Took my buck on the 13th last year and saw great action the 12th-14th. Also had big daylight cruisers on camera on November 21st and 22nd. Over the years I think I've seen the biggest bucks...

    What arrows and broadheads are you shooting this year?

    I shot easton FMJ's for years and I really like them, however I have found myself involved more and more in controlled hunts over the last couple years and I'm having to retire more and more arrows every year. I switched to Easton Carbon Aftermaths this year for about 1/3 of the price of the...

    When's your bowcation?

    I think a lot of you guys are short changing yourselves by not hunting a little later. The most insane rutting activity for me has been the 13-14 the last two years, right at the tail end of my rutcation. I'm shooting for the 7th-19th this year, also the first day of gun.

    Ohio Draw Hunts

    I put in for them every year. Been drawn for mosquito creek muzzleloader and was out of state for that one so my dad and a buddy of his went. They had fun but didn't kill anything. Got invited to plumbrook with a buddy but had a death in the family so that one fell through too. I hope to get to...

    Nicks 2017 Shed thread

    I've been slacking on updates. Been walking just about every chance I can. Two weekends ago I found 2 during a 5 mile hike but both were old. One on a hilltop, one on the edge of a swamp Walked again for most of the day Thursday and picked up a 4 point side and a skull of a buck that had shed...

    S.EOhio bag limit

    More notably, if they put a 3 deer limit in SE Ohio counties and the overall kill numbers go up, that obviously means the population is fine, right?

    S.EOhio bag limit

    I emailed the ODNR to try and see if I can get official info...also asked them if there's anything in the works as far as an interactive public hunting map of some sort that is more helpful and informational that what's out there now. kentuckys public access online program is awesome. I'll post...

    Nicks 2017 Shed thread

    A major benefit of being a park employee is that I tend to get to spend a lot of time outside. Although I do have assignments and responsibilities, I tend to get the opportunity spend a little extra time in the woods this time of the year to help get me from weekend to weekend when I can do the...

    Nicks 2017 Shed thread

    Had a rough go at it over the weekend..for sheds at least. We hit the woods for about 6 hours on Saturday only to find a dead doe and see a coyote. Still an enjoyable hike though. Only made it out for a couple hours Sunday and was more so taking the dog for a walk than anything else but we...
