Pretty successful opening week for the TOO family! Congrats to all who have taken or assited another hunter in taking a bird in week 1 of the season. I'd like to point out that the youth are sitting in 2nd. Special congratulations to Kody and Andrew. We still have 4 participants not...

I just joined this new FB group. I guess they have several groups across the country, and the Ohio group also includes Indiana, Michigan and Kentucky. I'm still checking it out, but the purpose is networking, and information for when/if SHTF. Things I've read about so far include...

I'v got a 4 room re-model going on and shed hunting outtings have been few and far between. But the last two days I've slipped out and had some success. Whats cool and a little inside story to these sheds. A hunter I had in this fall, passed this 8 point on the 2nd to last day of his hunt. I was...

Alright all, Below are the rules for the 2013 TOO Spring Turkey Competition. Format/Rules are the same as years past. That means the buddy bird system is back to help promote the brotherhood of TOO! I look forward to a fun, safe and successful turkey season. TOO Turkey Competition...

Anyone finding fresh sheds in central ohio? Saw a 140 or bigger w both sides on friday. Thanks

Carpn, Kaiser, myself, and our friend Aaron met up this morning with plans to thin the goose population a bit. Yesterday we located a prime loafing area... a picked soybean field that had flooded within the past few days... There were probably 400-500 geese on it and quite a few ducks. Our...

Carpn Jake, myself, and another guy met up in Jake's neck of the woods yesterday to hunt a corn stubble field. Jake's been scouting this valley for a quite a while and, although the geese he saw were always flying and not sitting in the field, we figured with a good enough spread we'd have...

Got an invite to hunt some geese with Carpn this morning over in Ashland County. The first big flock of birds unexpectedly came in cross-winded, jumped one of the wings of our spread, and landed off to our far right... pretty much eliminating any good shot opportunities for the whole group. We...

For those of you that have never heard of Legendary Whitetails, I strongly suggest you follow this link and do some browsing. I just received a couple items from them today and I am seriously impressed by the fit and the overall quality of the garments. I ordered a hooded sweatshirt and a...

What's everyone seeing out there as far as hunting pressure goes? Driving around doing inspections yesterday and today, I've been surprised by how few pumpkin people I've seen walking around. I even drove around the only public wildlife area in Medina County yesterday afternoon at 4:00 pm and...

Hello everyone, my name is Drew Parsons and I am a hunter and fisherman in southern Ohio, namely Athens and Morgan counties..if you guys have any questions on the hunting or fishing down here let me know. I am currently trying to open up a new business Scatter Ridge Outfitters, to cater to...

...when choosing your next broadhead. On opening day this season, I shot a doe at about 24-26 yards. The arrow, tipped with a Magnus Stinger 150, blew right through her like a hot knife through butter... and buried into the hillside about 8" or so. As with most hillsides in Carroll County...

Yesterday I stumbled on this video at youtube, showing a guy's homemade head-bobbing duck decoy... Of course it looked like it would be incredibly effective, and of course :) I figured I should make my own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2mXNqZqew8 After watching the video I immediately...

It only took me 14 years of bowhunting to finally fill a tag on opening day of bow season. Not that I've never had the chance before, it's just never happened. The conditions were absolutely fantastic yesterday morning... a little nip in the air, a balmy 42-degrees. It sure was nice to be up...

The big dairy farm south of me has chopped sileage like crazy over the past month, and the doves are pouring in like nothing I've ever seen before. There must be hundreds, if not thousands, of doves utilizing these fields right now. So yesterday I picked up a box of shells and went out for a...

Headed up to Millersburg for a few days with the misses, thought I might pop into a bow shop while she is shopping. Any shops in the area?

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...

If no one didn't know. Ohio has been hit by EHD.. Everyone remembers the tons of deer dropping like flys around salk fork and not once was it publicized back in 2007. Well i just read a article from the News Herald that a DEER FARM in Southwestern Ohio had a bunch of deer infected with it...

Here are some of the deer i've been seeing. The big one is nice. Guessing a 10 pointer in the 190 class. lol
