Gun Week 2016

Congratulations on the buck Jon! I am sure that was a rather special moment.

Clay - you think like many of us here...let the data tell the story. Unfortunately, it isn't a very pretty story for many hunters (not all, but many).
 
Currently watching and listening to 27 turkeys.

Hunted opener all day and this morning and didn't see a thing in western Coshocton County. By far worst gun opener on our property in 40 years, also the fewest amount of shots heard. Can't believe how decimated the herd has become. Didn't even get any good bucks on cam this year. Last year I only saw 1 on gun opener, which I shot. 2 years ago I saw over 20. I think the liberal bag limits and, oh yeah, the amish moving in the last 5 years have totally wrecked the deer in our area.
 
Really need to plan ahead better for ground hunting. Garrett and I are having fun but I need some more spots ready to go prior to us getting here. Spot we are now would be perfect for a blind.
 
Feels good out...I suspect some hunters had some better luck this evening!

It sure did feel good. I had high hopes. Didn't see a deer. Had my son in the gunner seat. Have pics of a big 6pt I'd love to see him shoot on Nov 25/27 just before dark, but not tonight.
