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.

kill a big one :yoyo:

Not me :pout:.  Good luck and remember I like pics.

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.

Jerry

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


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!!  :yoyo: :yoyo:

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..... :biggrin:  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... :nono:  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  :laf:

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

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

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. 

Jerry

Coyote Kate & I scoped out a new farm & there were deer freeways all over!  :eyebrow:
Seriously thought about going to Walmart & getting a tag. :wo:  There are things to do today & I gotta go to work this afternoon so I didn't ..... Thank God! :sneer:
Boy is it cold & miserable out! :rolleye:

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

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

Not many shots heard round here either Jerry.  :shrug:  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.  :shrug:  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.  :laf:  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.  :laf:  I let the little feller have a pass today.  :biggrin:

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

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.  :biggrin:

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

This is just too cool!!!

Looks like this Buck has a pretty good rack.

He does look a little "light" tho.

 :laf: :laf:  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.   :laf: :laf:

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

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

 :roflmao: Now I like that :yoyo:

I had a blast even though I didn't see any deer. I arrived at camp about 4 pm yesterday. Loaded the shotgun and stood on stand til dark. Went to Wally World for some provisions then ate supper at Edy Ryans in Coshocton. Didn't see a deer all morning. Went to Pearl Valley Cheese for some jalapano trail balony and hot pepper cheese then ate lunch at Milller's in Baltic and shot the bull all afternoon in camp since it was raining. Stopped over at Bill's for a spell to tell a few lies stories then headed home. Worth every minute of the drive.  :yoyo:

 :yoyo: :yoyo:

that is a good one :roflmao:

We were just sitting down for supper When Chris said there is someone at the basement door  :confused: Heck I thought we were under attack cause we always get a phone call when folks are stopping by cause we live so far back off the road nobody can find us,but I answer the door anyway to find a feller I have never seen before.He introduced himself as Mike msmith I invited him in offered him some supper,he declined said he couldn't stay long and 1 1/2 hours later he left  :laf:

I enjoyed the visit
Thanks for stopping by
Next time your up this way stop again

Under attack :laf:
