Tip's 2024-2025 Hunting Journal

Earlier in the year I put out some Bag R Buck mineral "drips". One is being hit ok...a small divot has been dug beneath it. Also went out and put some cameras up. That was a fiasco. The first one was set too high on the tree for the downhill slope and I got 25 pics of ears and heads. The other one "fell off the tree" due to shenanigans. A four foot long zip tie fixed that issue.

Ended up getting pics of this guy. Keep in mind this property is not managed and is an absolute free for all when it comes to hunting. So, I don't expect I will see this guy again.

Also made my annual donation to the ODNR. Three of us put in for 8 dove draws apiece. We got 1. That's a total of 48 opportunities over the two day opening weekend. We got 1. That's just freakin ridiculous.

But, Zach and I will be at Fallsville on opening day. Its better than fighting the mexicans at Deer Creek!

There is no more down yonder. That club dried up and blew away two years ago. I will be going to Missouri again this year, hunting the family farm there, hopefully. Other than that, I've just got a couple places here in Ohio where I should be able to get a doe.

My stepson and I went out to Fallsville for our draw dove hunt this morning. The fog that rolled in just before sunrise made for an interesting time. Those birds were on top of us before we could see them coming. All in all had a very fun hunt. Left the field just before noon with 23 birds between us. Will post pics later.
