Although I have many examples over the years kind of attesting to this. Saturday was one of the worst. Literally spent 30 mins breaking branches to get to where i wanted to be in the tree. Got settled in and not 15 mins later these kids started riding quads not 600 yds away. Literally rode in...

I hope that this is not true although I have not been out scouting to know. I did check a PA hunting forum that is usually very up to speed on this subject and did not see any inclination of EHD this year. Last year was pretty substantially basically affecting the whole Ohio River region from...

I as well live on the Pa-Ohio border (i.e. actually hunt the right on the border of Columbiana Oh and Beaver County Pa on State Line Road). Last year was pretty dismal and I actually spent more time hunting in other counties as I was not seeing much deer activity at all. This being said I would...

You wouldn't have happened to measure those spurs? Those are some serious hooks based on the picture be interested to know how big they were. Congrats on a brute of a turkey.

That one gobblers head is gorgeous. Some nice looking birds.

Not to bother but I have actually been looking at the same thing....was wondering what this double discount you speak of is my dad has a sc membership so I don't know much about it but do have membership access.

Nice to see that there are still some good bucks around after the rough year your area seemed to have with EHD. Good luck at filling your tag this year but if nothing else should be encouraging for next year's opportunities.

Hey awesome thread and glad to see you having some success. I noted you were from Pa and was hoping you might be able to provide me with an understanding of how I find one of these required cable restraint classes as I ran a snare line the year before moving back to pa and would love to start...

Just my opinion but that 136 doe could potentially have definitely aided in the repopulation efforts. Figure 50% birth rate (I would assume that may be low but don't know the statistics for chances of pregnancy) and assume each of those have an average of 2 fawns. That's the equivalent of...

If you hit him and he is bleeding out both sides it may be worth spending a little extra effort searching. I have had (2) that were low brisket sort of around that shoulder/behind the shoulder area that went probably close to a mile after being shot. Both were pass through shots and both were...

Seemed to be a pretty bad bout of EHD this time as I frequent both PA and KY hunting forums as well and it seems those counties that border the Ohio River corridor at least up here in PA/OH/WV got the brunt end of things, but then Eastern KY sounds like it got slammed really hard to. Around my...

If you dont mind my asking is that a Summit County buck? I used to live/hunt out that way and can say there are some absolute monsters in that area. One year at work they found a set of sheds that grossed 192 and some change....I got a chance to see that buck in person while driving in the plant...

I used to live out near Orrville so I would tend to lean towards smuckers but if you want real world proven results you gotta go with some homemade "amish" jam you ever see the way those fuggers kill deer got to have some slimy secret. I as well apologize to the OP but based on the non response...

Just remember it's gotta be "two pumps on each shoulder, two pumps on each knee and two pumps on each boot"....you skimp on that left boot and you will never shoot a P & Y

I was suprised he didn't throw out another sales pitch for the strawberry jam sh_it you rub all over your body and the big bucks coming prancing right in.

My advice would be if you have the option go during the week. The few times I have been down that way hunting near Plainfield I have ventured to both Woodbury and Salt Fork during the afternoon to maybe do an evening hunting but turned around after seeing the amount of hunters. I don't know if...

Not one typically for conspiracy theories but just like the complete randomness in how large densities of coyote populations started to appear in the early to mid 2000s (i.e. this being at least in the areas that I hunt as in the 90's it was very rare to hear of coyote sightings) I find it...

I am not sure nature's intent is to grow "record book" deer and although an unusual sequence of events I would think it would be hard to draw any definitive correlation between the two. EHD has no boundaries it kills does, fawns, little buck, big buck all the same I am not sure how that could...

I can relate to this feeling after this severe outbreak that has occured this summer. I haven't shot my bow in weeks due to spending most of my time scouting for dead deer and honestly have lost all motivation to even try so the bow will stay in the case for this season and I will focus on other...

I was having the same thoughts as it's all beans around my house this year but I was barely seeing any deer in the evening. I thought it was maybe just mass crop but after I have seen how sub par the red and white oaks have been around finally took the initiative to do some walking around. Found...
