out of season rut or casual sex?

My cousin lives by a urban wooded area here in NW Ohio. He said last night he seen a buck messing with a doe, and then to his surprise the buck mounted the doe. He said it lasted for a while and didn't just seem like play or a dominance act. Question is, have you ever heard of deer breeding in the m...

Re: waiting over night

I have had to leave a couple deer in the woods overnight also, mainly for doubt in shot and fear of pushing the deer. I think the meat is ok to eat, but I dislike it. I have noticed a difference between a freshly field dressed and cooled, with ice or a cooler has a much better taste, no "game&q...

Re: everyone please read..

The first year I had my excalibur I did it twice! Lucky for me both times I had my steel toes on from work. It's a very unsettling feeling when you do it.

Re: would you shoot one?????

I do not pursue them, but have taken them in the past and will again in the future. Not a freezer filler but plenty more on them then a squirrel or rabbit! They are also free of any game taste, feed it to anyone and they never know.

Re: Mounting Video camera on bow ??

I have done it and it works pretty . If you want a still shot of the arrow going in it takes about a minimum of a twenty yard shot for the image to stabilize from the recoil. But that is only about two tenths of a second worth of footage. I used the Excal range finder mount and then made up a piece ...

Re: Arkansas Bears

Boo chooses not to play this game because sometimes the other team is way too rough! :shock: :shock: :shock: Exactly why I enjoy hunting in Ohio and not going out west or swimming in the Ocean! I like in my area being at the top of the food chain is easy. Going bear hunting puts ones self back into...

Re: Cost of tags

Just for interest here's what it will cost a non-resident in Ohio. Non-Resident Hunting $125.00 Deer Permt - Antlerless Only(6) $90.00 Deer Permit - Either Sex $24.00 I know there has to be a reason behind it, but have never understood why the non resident is so high. I think a lot of states do it....

Ohio... $19 for Resident Hunting license $24 for Deer tag buck or doe, only one buck per season $14 for doe tag during archery season and some limited gun seasons, but you first have to buy a $24 tag before you buy a $14 tag, but you can save the $24 dollar tag for gun season and use the $14 first i...

Re: Who else loves hunting in the rain?

I don't mind a light rain, but I leave if its coming down in buckets. I have wanted to sit during a rain hunt and be there when it stops, but just have not had it work out yet for that.

Re: old forum members never die, they just fade away......

To be perfectly honest there is too much politics and baiting happening recently by a very few and a couple of newer individuals with just a couple of hundred posts. I think I help quiet a few here both with information and other things I won't mention. So it deeply disturbs me! I talk to quite a f...

Liver shot FYI post

Just wanted to post this as a FYI for anyone doing a search on liver shots. I had a friend shoot a nice eight point last week, probably around 120 to 130 class. It was thirty yards broadside and after field dressing no lung and center in the liver with a little bit of stomach getting hit but just a ...
