    Bring your dog in the woods?

    Do any of you guys bring your dog in the woods during hunting season? I dont mean when you're hunting but when you check cameras or move a stand. My black lab loves to go with me. Prior to the start of the season I bring him with me and he loves it. I've never brought him in the woods once the...

    Ajupsman's 2015 Ohio Adventure

    I've never done a journal of a hunt like this but I figured why not. I've got to know some guys on this forum over the last couple of years and I enjoy reading the other journals too. Anyways, here goes. As some of you know my buddy Pete and I will be hunting with Brock this year. I took him...

    Lead Sled

    I'm going to sight in my new muzzloader tomorrow and shoot a couple rifles. I got a lead sled and this will be the first time I've ever used one. I set it up in the garage. Any of you guys used one before? If so does this setup look right? I think it is but figured I'd see what you guys...

    Issue with my climber

    This incident happened to me last year in Ohio hunting on public land. I've been meaning to share it here for a while but it's a long story so I've been putting it off. The story posted earlier today about the man being killed in Michigan after a fall gave me the kick in the ass needed to post...

    Don't think you have these in Ohio

    I checked my cameras yesterday at my father in-laws property. Nothing special as far as deer go but this big guy walked by one of my stands.

    Tom Brady

    Living in New England this is all everybody is and has been talking about for 9 months. Worst part is I hate the Patriots but I'm forced to be around their a-hole fans on a daily basis. Of course now they all think their pretty boy QB is a saint even though all the judge said was the NFL...

    October Hunting

    I'm hoping you guys can give me a little insight in to hunting Ohio in October. In the past I've always come out in early November for 10-14 days. This year I won't be able to make that happen. I'm looking at a 10 day trip max and the dates that will fit in to my schedule best are...

    Florida Bowfishing

    Some of you may remember I went on hog hunt in Florida last February with West Shore Outfitters and it did not go well. I only saw one small pig in over 8 hours on stand. The owner of the guide service assured me that was not the norm and if I wanted to come back in 2015 he would give me a...

    Anybody ever had shoulder surgery?

    I'm having my left shoulder operated on 2 weeks from today and I was wondering if anyone here has had the same surgery? I've got a torn rotator cuff, arthritis of the AC joint and some bone spurs that need to be removed. Doctor says I'm relatively young at 42 to have this much damage but he...

    Which one is married?

    A teacher asks her class, "If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?" She calls on Ernie . He replies, "None, they all fly away with the first gun shot." The teacher replies "The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking." Then Ernie...

    Ajupsman's 2014 Ohio Trip

    We made it but once again it wasnt without an issue to slow us down. Every year something happens. This is our first year bringing a camper and all was well until we checked the lights. The blinkers and brake lights were out. We spent most of the afternoon Sunday trying to fix it but couldnt...

    Ridges, Ravines and Creek Bottoms

    I'm looking for advice on how to hunt areas with ridges, ravines and creek bottoms. Where I live in NH it's all mountains and big woods hunting. There some farms in the valleys but those keep getting fewer by the year. For the most part deer are very hard to pattern here and we certainly...

    Florida Hog Hunt

    I'm headed to Florida in February to bring my parents a load of stuff for their new house. I'm thinking of bringing my bow along and going on a 1 day hog hunt. I'll be able to hunt one day, maybe two tops so I'm going to use an outfitter. My research online tells me no license is required and...
