I agree with Dan, saw a little activity over the weekend, but nothing too hot and heavy yet. Sunday I did see a small buck (couldn't make out his rack from the distance) dogging a doe across a field. This recent cold snap should really make the hunting great at the end of this week. I'm travelling to the south-east corner of the state this Wednesday to hunt Thursday - Saturday. Good luck, hope you bag a bruiser.

That's a great way to up our team score! Great buck, a real trophy!

Way to go! That's a bruiser for sure, and great to see that you got him. Well done!

Very good job, pretty neat how you mixed your profession in w/ it. I definitely like high-visibility wraps.

Very nice! I like the looks of that...definitely got me thinking. Thanks Dakota,

Can't wait to see the results, keep us updated. Hope you roll a BIG one (well, as big as they can be for Ohio). I still wonder if Chris' brute from last year may have been a transplant?!

Any idea where you could find a .32 caliber ML? I read an article a while back about hunting them w/ black powder, sounded really fun. Can you shoot shot through a regular .50 cal ML? (Mine has the rifled barrel, so this probably would scatter the shot quick.)

Add one more to the team! 11" tail:

You got it, thanks for the invite. Sounds like we're having a Genuine Realtree Forum Squack Hunt! Semper Fi!

NICE! That's the way to do it. Good shooting, I know how twitchy those little buggers can be.

Thanks DD, we need to hit the woods soon.

Went out tonight and got 2 more: 11" 9"

Snuck out this evening for a little squirrel hunting...the rains stopped and wind laid down. I saw several but was only able to come away with these two: I wish I'd gotten a better pic out in the woods because the leaves were real pretty, but I was too busy running and gunning trying to get a few more before dark.

You did the right thing by ending the suffering. I remember the first that you took earlier with the bow...don't beat yourself up at all...you put a heck of a shot on a coyote, you did the right thing, and I would have tried the exact same.

That is a dandy buck, and a great FIRST one at that. Good job to you both, glad it worked out so well.

Oh man, my stomach is hurting! Good grief that made me laugh.

Good job Slash, that's another great doe. I use Muzzy 100 gr MX3's, and am really pleased. Glad to see you like them as well. WTG!

I decided to carve one more, printed off a template and let my wife chose her favorite...the templates are harder than I thought...

I didn't think you'd mind. WTG on a successful hunt.

Thanks jm, I have read the same advice. I appreciate it.

I shot a doe earlier this season that ran up a pretty steep hill and then expired near the top...she ran quickly up the hill and out of my sight...but ended up being dead very close by. I also have always thought that they will not run up a hill, but she sure did. It makes it tough, especially when the blood trail stops.

Great job Ruth! Any taken with the bow is a true trophy, you should be proud. Congrats again.

After reading some of the chapters that Bluelk wrote, and hearing several stories of the man, I think we could write and write and never answer the original question. Quite a man, great for the sport, and a true outdoorsman. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

I have an opprotunity to pick one of these up from a friend, used of course. I know that it's LNIB, he shot it a few times but has decided to move it now. I like the looks of it, I like the feel of it, but being his, I never really dug into it that much. Well now he's offering it to me pretty cheap, and I want to ask for any opinions? I'm looking online at a few reviews and I see good stuff, but I'd definitely rather hear some first hand accounts if anyone has anything. So what do you say, Remington Genesis ML...good gun?
