    Anyone else annoyed with the start date being on Monday?

    Being on Monday is a blessing for dedicated/avid turkey hunters as it keeps the number of "Saturday Specials" (i.e. guys who go buy a license just for something to do) down and gives those willing to use vacation for such events first nabs at the easy birds that they have been scouting for...

    I applied for a job near Findlay and would mind inquiring how the hunting is out that way? More exclusively deer hunting but as well turkey and small game. I currently reside in NE Ohio.

    Does this place actually exist..............and if so does the guy like import deer onto his farm every year? I scrolled through his pictures and they was literally like 100+ buck shot of his ranch in like 2 months all of which obviously look like pen raised freaks of nature. Understood his...

    Beard Displays (Shadowbox)....Any examples

    I am looking at making and/or buying a shadowbox display for my beard collection. As a passionate turkey hunter I am looking for something more than just the standard "Shoelace" beard chain. I was wondering if anyone else has a design or more so wanted to see some other hunters beard displays...

    Squirrels

    So if I am interpretting right you are saying that greys that have some orange/red to them similar to a fox squirrel would be brown-black. As well I was aware that blacks and greys were the same species i was more distinguishing the color variations that I see. Also I would suspect that fox and...

    Setting snares

    Sorry for digging this up but I didnt want to start a new thread a get referrenced. It seems like their is a few subject matter experts in this. Was once an avid trapper but that was before snares were legal in PA. I was wondering if anyone could point me towards a good instructional video on...

    Live from the stand!

    In western PA the Amish culture owns a significant amount of land all of which they allow public access......as well their are state game lands............and a lot of landowners dont post..........tresspassing is not needed. Although they have a bad persona of shooting "all the deer" as...

    Tips for Late Season Baiting...??

    I am still uncertain of my feelings on the subject matter as in PA its illegal so I have never actively "baited" before although one could say hunting near cornfields or apple orchards is similar. But hey since its legal in Ohio and its late season I figured why not give it a try...

    Live from the stand!

    Where I call home back in western PA driving is still a commonly used practice. I tell others of this method and they gauck at the thought. To me it is what I know and love the most (especially PA bear season). 20-25 Grown men hooting and haulering through the woulds like a well oiled machine...

    Squirrels

    Moved to Ohio this summer....Extremely extatic to be in state that starts squirrel season before deer season. Coming from western PA and then North Central PA and now Eastern OH it amazes me to see the variations in species vs population size in just the couple hours of driving distance...

    Home already

    I like the pedestal shoulder I think the little bit extra that if offers adds so much more character to a shoulder mount. Quality wise my dad ran a taxidermy shop for years (of which I helped a lot) but it looks very well done which I struggle to say for a lot of work that I see. To many guys...

    How average hunters can fix the deer decline

    My personal feelings on the subject matter would be that I rather see a thriving deer herd than a few big buck. Pennsylvania a few years ago began an initiative to attempt to manage deer herds (partially of which i think was funded by auto insurance companies). Some background for those of you...

    Jackson County Area ?

    I do not disagree by any means but for one antler size does not define maturarity (thats why I said "I do not disagree with people for hunting mature as in "aged" deer but a deer is no older, smarter, wiser, or more successful of a harvest solely based on the size of its antlers.") A 4 year old...

    Jackson County Area ?

    Western or Eastern PA?..........I am pretty sure the original topic was some guy from like NH or NC wanting a lease. Although PA hunters anywhere besides PA is probably bad for that state. They take the term "slaughterhouse" to a whole new perspective.
