We have seen a doe this year that has a pronounced limp, but I haven't got a good picture of her injury until last week here. I can see why she is limping. Check out her back left leg. You can see the bone! That must be painful. The second pic is of a fawn that I saw a few weeks ago that...

Check this out..... http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/HuntingandTrappingSubhomePage/DeerHuntingResources/deerharvestcomparison/tabid/24154/Default.aspx The Division of Wildlife is now posting harvest statistics weekly. This is one advantage of the newer check in system. Looks like...

Reading other threads about what bucks people would shoot/not shoot, and different areas of the state and habitats we hunt, got me curious about how many shot opportunities everyone has a year over the course of bow season. I know we all have various levels of experience, standards, and amount...

Caught this litte 6 point mid velvet shed. You can see that there is velvet hanging and blood still on the main beam. Check out the temperature...

I hung a scouting camera over a different plot we planted because I thought it would be cool to see how slow/fast it came up, depending on the weather. This plot is in southeastern Ohio and had a mix or turnips, radishes, a few different red and white clovers, and cereal rye. We had to plant...

Just over a month left. How ready are you? What do you HAVE to get done or want to before bow season starts? I finally finished all of my food plot work last week. This week I am moving on to hanging a few more stands and trimming back some shooting lanes. I have four different places I...

Over in coyote land I got a cool series of photos of a momma doe chasing away a coyote so she and her fawn could feed in the clearing. I like how she pins her ears back in the second photo.

What is this mower worth? $800? I have had this Ransomes 48inch mower with a 16hp Kawasaki engine for about 12 years. It runs great, I had it tuned up this year and put new turning belts on it. My back has been bothering me so I am going to sell the mower and get something with electric...

It's salt man. Apparently salt does more than attract deer. Check this trespasser out. He had to walk at least a half mile, through lots of poison ivy, in sandals, to get back where this camera is set up. At least he didn't take the camera and I doubt he was scouting for deer.

Saturday morning we were drinving past Tappan and saw two ambulances at the boat ramp and an older guy strapped on a stretcher. We rounded the next bend and were blocked by a fire truck. A few minutes later a life flight copter landed in the gravel by the turn off next to the lake. They...

I got started on my new fall plot project this weekend. We are putting in a new plot, about a half an acre, in part of an old, secluded field. The field is surrounded by a giant thicket and there is one good tree on the east side of the plot I can get a stand into, which set us up perfectly...

It you havn't checked out google earth, maps etc. lately, I just discovered they updated maps for lots of southern ohio. I checked out areas from Coshocton to Tusc to Jefferson Co. and all of the image dates are 5/16-17 of this year. I can now see areas where we planted plots, and where the...

I changed the card in one of my cameras and was excited the readout listed 451 photos in two weeks and hoped I would finally see something worth shooting. All of the pictures were coyotes :tantrum: The landowner has been seeing a pair with 6 pups. The camera must be close to their den. I...

Anybody listen to Zac Brown? The new album came out Tuesday. I have only run through it a few times, but it's a good one. It has a little bit of everything, some islandy Buffett-like tunes and some southern rock, especially in the title track Uncaged. The track Natural Disaster is pretty...

Ohio has been getting its share of wicked storms lately. We had a wicked hailstorm last week that hit our house with golfball sized hail. My garden is toast and my trees lost about 20% of their leaves. The west side of the house has about 200 holes in the vinyl siding. It looks like we got...

I have 5 different cameras out in three different counties and not a single 2.5 year old or better buck this year.:smiley_depressive: I thought I'd share them in this thread, haha. This is a strange year for me so far but I know they will show up eventually. These pics are from an older...

Check out this young buck. I think we'll call him Gonzo. He has one heck of an overbite. From the pictures we have, it looks like a birth defect as opposed to an injury or wound. He must have dispersed here from West Virginia :smiley_crocodile:

What type of sting wax do guys you use on your bow? I have a stick of what looks like a candle that I have been using, but my string keeps getting fuzzy in the area around the release. My bow is a bowtech and the string is stock if that helps. Thanks!

I had my dad change the memory cards last week and can't start my own thread yet based on the lack of quality I have so far this year, haha. The sad thing is that I had this camera out for a month at a place year after year that produces. Long way til season to start worrying though.

I don't know if this image is too small, but this doe is loaded with flies. That would make me nocturnal.
