deer

This was the first September 1st in many years that I didn't get out to shoot either doves, geese, or teal. It was tough to hear of my brother's group shooting 3 limits of doves in just under 2 hours, or of Jake whacking 4 limits of geese by 7:30... I mean, that's just fuggin lights-out action...

Now I was never one to name deer but I fault no one for doing so. So don't get me wrong now on the following. I raise my own organic cattle for the family with a Scotish Highland and Poled Hereford cross. And when city folks come over and think that is just neat. Then they ask what their names...

Does anyone know of any deer processing businesses around the Cleveland area? Use to do it in NY when I lived there but now I just don't have the space.

Does anyone used deer decoys and do the work for you? Couple years ago I used a Montana doe fold up doe decoy. A doe walked up from behind it and I guess never seen it until she was beside it. And when she was beside it at about 10 ft and seen it she almost jumped out of her skin. She jumped...

I invited my brother down from NW Ohio to deer hunt couple days. He and my nephew came down on Saturday and we rehung a tree stand on my neighbors property. I am a all day deer hunter and my brother and nephew are basicly short drive deer hunters from NW Ohio that is a prime farm land and very...

I have half heartly tried bow hunting in the past 40 yrs and have cleanly missed 2 deer. But a 68 now I figure time is running short. Handgun hunting has always been my 1st love followed by shotgun and if need be muzzleloading. Anyway I have been battling MS for the last 32 yrs and no longer...

That was the question my buddy asked recently of the ODNR. Some good information that I thought I would pass along. Here is his email & the response listed below: -----Original Message----- From: Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 5:34 PM To: Wildinfo Subject: Packing out a deer Now that we...

Since the broadhead selection threads fun I figured why not list what you've killed with.

Found this on their FB page and figured I'd pass it a long in case someone missed it..... http://www.ohiodnr.com/home_page/NewsReleases/tabid/18276/EntryId/2946/ODNR-Offers-Special-Deer-Hunts-on-Seven-State-Nature-Preserves.aspx

Now that I have scratched a few heads. What is everyone's thoughts on hunting deer with rifles in pistol cartridges such as 45/70's, 44, 375, 444? Just asking. My reasoning is ammo is so expensive and the thought of reloading is so much cheaper. Box of 5 sabots are 20.00 or so. I like to shoot...

It's that time of year again. Throw you're name in the hat for the 2012-13 TheOhioOutdoors deer hunting contest. :smiley_clap: This year we're working on a prize list to be announced later. :pickle: 50 Post minimum required. You don't have to have 50 posts today to sign up here, just...

Well haven't posted in a while but have kept up on the reading. Finally got a pic of a decent buck when I pulled a card today. I'm really turning up the heat lately in terms of trying to find some slungers, so it'll only get better from here. Nothing spectacular but worthy of my first...

Heading to the apple tree that finally produced some apples this year. Couple of the young studs for the future

For the 2011/12 deer season I would have a new tool, trail cameras. I have wanted to start running cameras for years, but the thought of them getting stolen always kept me away. I finally broke down and purchased two for the upcoming season. I ran one camera at a property in Geauga County...

We must reduce your population to minimal for this.. :smiley_boos:

Mixing the minerals was a pain. I cut the recipie down and made about 3 batches instead. This barrel helped to mix them well. I got ahold of 4 pieces of thin angle about 16" long and bolted to the barrel.... Just tip it up on the edge and roll it back and forth....... Insta Mix!

Not being a smart aleck here. This time of the year, it seems the deer just vanish. I understand there are does ready to birth. I am sure they are not moving as much. I would assume they have been feeding heavily at night close to where they bed. What about the yearlings though? What about...

I picked up my deer from this past deer season yesterday...Overall I am pretty happy with it.

Just wanted to start a thread of the off season work I'll be putting in gearing up for the fall, and be able to ask questions and gain knowledge, as I have been for a couple years from you folks. At this same time last year there where a lot of things I wanted to change at my main property...
