2025 Rut Report

Glad somebody can see a Diddy party in OH.

Athens
2022-EHD
2023- Hard Drought
2024-Record Drought
2025- Drought and Record EHD

The real concerns changing bounce back time to me are the: new weather pattern and hunter behavior. While EHD is pocketed, you'd have to be one ignorant fug to be shooting does right now....and there are. The local low standards shitbag outfitter and others have no problem shooting anything within crossbow range...the shortsightedness will just push that rebound date all farther out until "never" due to ignorance. At some point, the "hunters" need to have accountability ....not sure if everyone is waiting for the ODNR to do something way too late or will just call it quits when there are no deer left
You are right. $850 an acre
