Tomorrow is the Buckeye firearms opener. Who's goin'? I was going to hit Washington Co. tomorrow, but I may go to work and head for Holmes Co. Tues. eve and hunt there Wednesday.

Good luck guys and be careful.

Right now we are having a fairly heavy rain, which will make things around here a real mess. It was already wet. Forecast is for more rain tomorrow, which will make sitting out in a woods even more fun. So yea, I am heading out.

Well since it's deer season I guess I'll get the rain gear out & go too!!

Mike-- Holmes Co is real close to Bill ya know!! You better holler at him if you get a minute or two to swap a couple lies!!

alscalls · November 29, 2009, 08:16:54 PM

I will stay here and hunt WV while most of yas are going to Ohio so the deer will calm down and start moving again and I will be here waiting.....

I almost got a nice one yesterday but a skyline shot was all he would give me and I aint ever gonna take that shot...

No buck is worth chance.....

Kurtis and I will be hitting the woods tomorrow
Jerry I would like to ask a favor of you and keep the rain out your way if ya could

msmith I am always up for swaping a few lies if ya want some evening

msmith · November 29, 2009, 10:17:23 PM

I'd tell the truth seven ways to Sunday before I would EVER tell a lie in deer camp.

Hawks Feather · November 29, 2009, 10:24:02 PM

Bill,

I have been telling the rain to go NORTH, like straight north and not remain in Ohio at all.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

Coyote Kate & I scoped out a new farm & there were deer freeways all over!

Seriously thought about going to Walmart & getting a tag.

There are things to do today & I gotta go to work this afternoon so I didn't ..... Thank God!

Boy is it cold & miserable out!

FinsnFur · December 01, 2009, 04:20:55 PM

I'm kinda contemplating it myself.
Usually I got people asking me if I want a deer or two, this year not very many people seen any.

The one year I was actually gonna say, yeah I'll take one, no one comes through.

I was hoping to learn how to grind me some burger.

Hawks Feather · December 01, 2009, 05:02:28 PM

The swarms of hunters haven't been out around here which means that I still haven't had a shot. I heard about 10 shots yesterday and a normal first day is closer to 50. Then today there were 6 shots. Maybe tomorrow and then again maybe not.

Jerry

HaMeR · December 01, 2009, 06:18:52 PM

Not many shots heard round here either Jerry.

I let a big fat button buck walk this AM around 10:30. Then as I was getting ready to get out of the tree stand here he came again.

So I watched him for about 15 minutes trying to get a pic of him,, which didn't pan out,, & waiting for him to walk off & the damn thing laid down 40yds from my stand.

I lowered the ML to the ground & went down the ladder with my back to him. I hunched over & untied the gun & went up the hill like that. When I got to the top I found a vantage point & he was still laying there.

I let the little feller have a pass today.

Hawks Feather · December 01, 2009, 06:32:29 PM

At 40 yards he would have been hanging in the skinning shed if it were me. Not as much meat as a full grown, but tastes good.

Jerry

HaMeR · December 01, 2009, 06:36:29 PM

He had a bigger body than most button bucks so I let him walk. I'll be buck hunting another couple days then I'll pop a doe. I figured as big as he was he might grow up to be a dandy buck in a couple years. I've also been watching some does that should go 130lbs field dressed too. There are 3 hanging out together & they are HUGE.

Hawks Feather · December 02, 2009, 01:06:01 PM

The longer this season goes the more I think I might end up with a deer like this one.

SCcoyotehunter · December 02, 2009, 04:50:39 PM

This is just too cool!!!

WhiteHare · December 02, 2009, 05:41:56 PM

Looks like this Buck has a pretty good rack.

He does look a little "light" tho.

HaMeR · December 02, 2009, 06:19:34 PM

Then I guess I better not tell of the 2 nice does, 2 smaller deer, & the fat little button buck that I gave a pass to this AM Jerry.

I won't be bacl out til Saturday AM now & then I MIGHT be thinking "freezer"!!

Or I might just wait til the 19-20th to lay one out. Especially if the scouting shows those couple big boys are still around.

Either way Jerry I'm rooting for ya!! Keep at it!!

FinsnFur · December 02, 2009, 09:03:43 PM

:roflmao: Now I like that
