    How many different types of weapons have you taken an Ohio deer with?

    I've taken deer with four different types. In order of success... Shotgun (22ish) Crossbow (4) Muzzy (1) Compound Bow (3) Took the Super Redhawk a few times...shot at one, couldn't hear for days (except the ringing in my ears) and didn't hit the deer.

    Frost Seeding

    I've never done this, but I'd like to this year. When is the best time and what are the best conditions to frost-seed some clover? What type of clover have you had the most success with frost-seeding and at what seeding rate? Also, does this unusually-mild winter change things as far as...

    Reducing deer browsing

    This may have already been covered somewhere, if so please point me in the right direction. I am looking for some ideas on how to reduce the deer damage due to browsing the buds and new growth on tree saplings. I have in mind an enclosure of some sorts, such as turkey wire around the tree, but I...

    Killed another deer

    After stopping to my buddies shop last night to fix my salter I slammed into a stupid doe. Dumb thing was standing in the middle of the road. At 55mph I had no way to avoid her. I kept it straight, as I slammed on the brakes. Luckily my Snow Dogg MD 75 Snow Plow scooped her of her feet...

    food plots not just for deer

    I have had three toms and up to 30 hens feeding in this plot on a daily basis. I sure hope these boys stick around this spring. This is a plot of winter rye/oats and clover.

    Deer Vision Question

    I searched around the site to see if this had been discussed before, but could not find anything... Please let me know what your thoughts are regarding the vision of deer. I went to a seminar last year put on by Wade Nolan and he spoke about deer vision. He said that deer see in ultraviolet...

    Want your deer aged

    Here's a website I was told about by Derry when I dropped off my deer. I had him remove a small portion of the lower jaw bone where the front teeth are so I can later remove the two middle incisors. I haven't done this yet but do plan on doing it soon. I believe it's the most accurate way to age...
