Hi everyone! My name is Alex and I am a resident of Western PA and this will be my second season hunting Ohio. Wasn’t sure how non residents were accepted on here so last year I just sat back and followed threads especially the “live from the stand” thread. Enjoyed it quite a bit and realized you guys seemed quite welcoming on here so this season I have decided to hop on board. My buddy, I, and sometimes my girlfriend all bow hunt public land in Ohio. I will be making the drive this afternoon for an evening opener sit. Hope everyone has a great season, and I look forward to following along!

Well there were no harvests, several opportunities to harvest does for me but I was waiting on horns. My buddy messed up a chance with a 130s class 9 in the rut and missed a running big buck in gun season. He was seeing lots of deer though in bow season. And the girlfriend had one chance to harvest a 100-110” 8 but it didn’t quite come together for her. Overall for our first year and me and her only hunting it one week during the tail end of the rut, I was happy with how we were able to find deer while they were heavily pressured. I’m spoiled with private land around home so the public is a totally new experience. I learned a lot and am looking forward to applying that this season. Hoping eventually I can find some private land or a lease.

Welcome! I think you'll find this about the most NR friendly lace around. Looking forward to reading posts about your hunts.

Welcome! Out of stater right here and yes you’ll feel very welcome once you pass the initiation period!! Never mind the banjos in the background! Oh and don’t be fooled, @giles may ask for deer ball pics but we all know which ball pics put a smile on his face!
