It's gun season in Ohio tomorrow AM!! Best of Luck to all the fellow Ohioans & Be Safe!!
Looks like someone is planning on using a muzzle loader rather than a shotgun. Is it because it shoots more accurately or that it shoots further accurately?
My doe permit runs out at 5:43 p.m. today and I plan to give it one more try this afternoon. It doesn't look promising.

Who's drinking outta that mug of Christmas balls in the background? Is that what they call a "Mug o Balls'?
Holy balls :doh2:
Jerry-- Yep & yep!! :biggrin: Somebody may disagree with me but thats cool. We're all different so it's all good. I use it mainly for the one deer one shot theory. I know too many folks that can't kill a deer without unloading the shotgun on one. :rolleye: Tis certainly a shame they just can't judge distance & in most cases,,, the actual ground speed of a running flat out scared to death 100 plus pound furball. :rolleye:
Hope you fill your tag!! I had to throw mine away. :sad:
Jimbo-- :laf: @ the mug o balls!! Them aint mine!! :pout: Mine are actually much :nofgr: thats nunyo bidness right there!! :pout:
:laf: :laf:
I came back from the field empty handed and wet. It started a light rain about 3:30 p.m. and then picked up a little more as the 5:13 sunset (yea, right) approached. I was in another guy's tree stand and came down at 5:30. It would have been nice to pick up another, but that wasn't supposed to be. I am just glad that the camo I had on was waterproof and had a hood. I am glad that I got the buck when I did, it looks like it is going to be wet and cold tomorrow.
Good luck with the smoke pole.
Jerry

^^^^ was that a ruthless post?? :shrug: :laf: :laf:
Well Glen, all I gots to say is ....... :hahaha: KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY! :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
Raining like the cow & the flat rock thing here. :nono:
Great opener for the Ohio deer gun season. :rolleye:
Bonehead is out using a 45/70. :eyebrow:
Good luck Hamer.
Nothing wrong with a muzzle loader. I haven't had my shotgun out for deer in years.
Are those TC shock waves I see there? I love those bullets! Accurate and absolutely devastating on deer.
It stayed dry all day VV. :biggrin:
I used the ShockWaves but when I went back for more I couldn't find them. Those are Knight Premier 250gr copper bullets with the poly tip. Last years doe got a taste of them & wasn't too happy. :eyebrow:
What rain?? :shrug: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Kinda looks like it does here. We had light rain and fog, but around sunset the fog came up off the river in waves..... kind of a surreal evening, but didn't see a one.... was pretty though.
There is a tree out there at 275yds. I will show it in this next pic. At times if I hadn't known the distances I was looking at from past experiences I would have been way off on my guesstimation of how far things really were out there. The treetop I'm referring to is the diamond looking one way in the background. My little Kodak EZ Share was maxed on the zoom for this. :laf:
Here it is in B&W. :biggrin:
No it wasn't ruthless :nono: But the poster is ruthless :eyebrownod: :laf:
Hey those foggy mist shots are cool! :yoyo:
:biggrin:
Thanks!! I liked em too. I was just playing around with the camera is all. I figured I should know how to do more than 3 things on that thung by now. It's only been 3 years & all I can do is take regular pictures, videos, & use the timer. :laf: :laf: Now I can do the B&W shots too. Amazing what you can find when you just start pushing buttons!! :roflmao: Here's my orange vest hanging in the tree above the blind to signal there is a blind hunter :confused: :doh2: :laf: :laf: right there. I guess this is how a deer would see it. I guess they are color blind. :shrug:
A blind hunter!! LOL! :roflmao:
Not only is that hunter blind, but so am I. Maybe you have really good camo on because this blind person can't see you or your blind. :shock2:
Jerry
:roflmao: It didn't sink in what I had typed until I went back & read it again before posting it!! :laf: :laf:
I'm not in any of the pictures. Don't want to break the camera you know!! :laf: :laf: The B&W pic shows the inside edge of the front window. :laf: Here's a picture on the inside of me & my little buddy. :wink:
Looks like a good way to stay warm or at least keep from freezing. Now get that deer today.
Jerry
It will keep the chill off Jerry. I worked today & unemployment starts tomorrow!!!! :biggrin: :biggrin:
I got busted by 4 does around 3:15 then by 2 more at 3:30. They all wanted in the cut corn field I was watching. I'll have a better place to hide tomorrow!! :eyebrow:
not that i really know anything, but seems like the morning was better for the bucks. try one series of soft grunts and then be patient FWIW
I will tomorrow Stu. Thanks for the tip!! :wink:
Oh for god's sake Glen quit the chatter and kill something would ya?
I been following this thread for a week with anticipation and am getting nothing here, go , go, go :roflmao:
Well, Jim, just because you are getting nothing there doesn't mean that Glen isn't getting some there. Maybe that is the reason there haven't been pictures. :shock2:
Jerry
That very well could be Jerry!! And I'm not posting those pictures for Jim's selfish pleasure either. :pout:
:roflmao: :roflmao: I'm hoping to be out there for the last 2 hours today & most of the day tomorrow. :biggrin:
It's that time of year :eyebrownod:
Have you put that 50 cal in anything yet??
:biggrin:
Yep!!
The bank at quitting time today!! :roflmao:
I had a 6-8" spike 30yds in front of me on top of a hardwood ridge with 2 houses in the background. He worked downwind of me & left. No big deal. If the weather holds out tomorrow afternoon I'll give it another go. :biggrin:
And this is how it ended. This picture was taken at 5:05PM my time as I got back to the truck. I thought it would make a neat picture. :eyebrow:
I was only 20yds from the back of the truck.
Glen,
That is a neat picture. I drove back from Columbus and had several places where it looked like that - THICK.
Jerry
Thanks Jerry. It was only like that on the ridgetop. The valleys were clear as could be.
The 1st time I ever heard coyotes howling I was in the back of my old Bronco getting my gear together for a squirrel hunt early 1 AM. I was parked about 250yds further down the road in thick fog just like this. The coyotes were howling to the left along those trees back where a gas line cuts across that ridge top. Freaked me right out!! :biggrin: It made the hair stand up on the back of my neck it was so cool.
Glad you made it home Safely!!
