Sunday, January 10th, 2016 - Meet at 9AM
We will meet here: Hook Lake- Campground A - 9160 N. St. Rt. 83 - McConnelsville, Ohio 43756 - 39.727849, -81.708157
They are known to lock the gates on the campgrounds, but there should be enough room on both sides of the road for us to convene if they are locked. I chose this spot because it's right on St. Rt. 83, which is the main drag through AEP and the one most of you will end up on anyways.
Please RSVP via the poll so I can plan this thing accordingly. Please don't vote "Yes" until you know for sure you will be there. This is going to take a good bit of legwork on my part, so I don't want to plan for 25 guys and 12 show up, or worse, the other way around. We'll do the hard drives first, and the easy ones last. I expect to do anywhere from 4-6 drives and we will walk ALOT. Also, don't be surprised if some of us do a couple drives, then find a spot to stand around and bullshit for a while. I'm going to make sure we have some quality drives lined up, but I'm not holding hands all day either. You're all big boys and this is a big ass place, so you're all free to do as you wish if several members of the group decide to grab a tailgate and enjoy each others company. This is as much about getting together as it is killing deer. I mention this so that you know what to expect.
More details will surface as we get closer, as well as during the meeting prior to the hunt.
You can view a map of the AEP grounds here: AEP ReCreation Land Map
You will need a permit from AEP, which is free and available here: AEP ReCreation Land Access Permit
I will check to verify a valid permit, hunting license and at least one either-sex tag. If you are missing any of the three, expect to take a lot of shit and get a cold ass while you sit on the tailgate of the truck waiting on us to come back. The last thing we need is for someone to get nailed for a wildlife violation.
And as always...
