Mountaineer- Is that axe a Fiskars? Nice piece of equipment in the wood shed if I do say so. Love mine.

$40/night for a cabin? Not worth dragging a 30' camper down if I can drop $40 and hammer down all the way there and back. Cost me at least an extra $20 each way for fuel. Plus, no cleanup on the camper afterword. I am still a tentative. Need to see what the wife's schedule is and when we are rifle hunting in KY first. If I am heading down, i am going to hunt. Sure, I will enjoy the company of the TOO family and enjoy a cold one or two, but I would like to at minimum have a chance at some death by arrow!

I'm just thinking about numbers. Can we all fit at Mikes cabins? Will the boss allow it? If we have to split up, I'll camp cheap at the campground. Then we could all pile in a couple trucks and take the fun to the cabins or visa versa. Thinking logistically...
Click to expand...

The cabins have 2 bedrooms with 2 full size beds, 1 twin bed and a foldout sofa in the den. I checked with the Lakehill Cabins Curator and both are currently available for that weekend, however, this is also Ohio Universities homecoming weekend so I am 100% sure that they will be reserved sometime before October if you guys don't take them. The camper cabins inside the park have 4 bunks each and beat the heck out of sleeping on the ground. The group camp area has its own latrine and fountain / spigot and could certainly accommodate everybody in one place. Whatever you guys decide is fine with me.

Strouds Run State Park... http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/tabid/790/Default.aspx ...has about 2,500 acres of public hunting. There are also 2 isolated pieces of the WNF on my ridge. One is 190 acres and the other is 125 acres. The 190 acre piece is directly across the road from my mailbox. They haven't cut a blade of grass on these 2 pieces of the Wayne in over 100 years. If the hard mast crop is good, these WNF tracts will be very busy. I got several trail cam photo's of this buck last fall on the public property you'll be hunting...and he's still hanging around.



There's a couple private spots close by that I can probably get you on but to be perfectly honest, the public hunting is probably better. Obviously we wont have all this ground to ourselves but I do think you've picked a good weekend to hunt as the pressure doesn't seem to really pick up until the following Halloween weekend. I think there is enough room for up to 30 hunters without stepping all over each other...if more than that show up we may have to spread out into other parts of the county.

Now I'm no Mountaineer, but I have accidentally stumbled off of the King "Rex" Ranch a time or two over the past 30 years that I've hunted this area and there is slight chance I may have an idea of a couple areas worth looking at. As I mentioned earlier, we've got canoes that can make access to the back side of the lake much easier and a whole lot easier to get deer out.

I think this will be a great time and I'm really looking forward to meeting you all.

How can you guys not take full advantage of this oppurtunity? Mike is setting you guys up perfectly. Stay sober and hunt hard.
