How'd We Do Ohio?

Recommended Posts

Ohio's first gun season just ended about 2 hours ago, and I didn't see any posts from Ohioans.

Just curious how everyone did seeing as I don't gun hunt too much.

Personally, I passed 3 shots, 2 on the same little buck, and one on a small doe or fawn, really couldn't tell what it was.

Here's what the sunrise looked like out my back door.

seen less deer this year than ever.. probably due to the weather. Saturday I hit a nice nine pointer. Had a lot of blood but then it thinned out near a river. I think it jumped in and couldn't make it across and got swept away. looked all day Saturday and couple hours Sunday. It's definitely dead somewhere. frown.gif

4 out of the 6 guys we hunt with all killed bucks, the other 2 guys had their chances but couldn't close the deal. Biggest buck was around 140", smallest around 120" so they were all decent bucks.(jefferson County)

2 Down for my Family. I drove out a swamp to my Dad, and he got a little Doe that I had taken a shot at and missed on the previous drive.

Then my Mom tagged a Doe later on, it was one that escaped from the Neighbors deer pen. I had Trail Cam Pics of it, nicknamed it TED.

The Last day I took a shot at a small Doe, Looked like a good hit from the way it acted after I shot. But we followed the blood trail and it wasn't very heavy at all, just a couple drops, so it got away. Felt bad then.

put down 2 does saving my last tag for a big one if it happens. talked to the couple that runs the local check in station and they said the were up from last year with more buck killed this year.there biggest one checked was a 16 point.out of the guys i work with several bucks killed mostly 130 to 140 class bucks.but one guy killed a monster in bow season that has not been scored yet i bet it might go high 180 or even bigger cant wait till it gets scored. all in all not a bad year cool.gif

Finally, After 5 years I get my first Ohio deer! Second day of gun season, about 8am he walks out of a very small patch of woods and gives me a 40 yard broadside shot. First shot just went over his back and the second one I drilled him! The only deer that I've taken previously have been in GA, and this bucks body looked huge. He weighed around 190-200 and had a rack that was out to the ears and 8 shorter points. Not the big racked buck I saw at the beginning of archery season, but he was plenty big enough for me!! The check-in guys said that he was probably a 2 1/2 year old.

I was lucky enough to get a decent 8 point on Saturday of the gun season. Not my biggest 8 point but still a decent buck. Here are a couple of pics.

Later!!

I got a nice 9pt but missed some really good 8pts during youth season because my gun misfired twice since i was using a m-loader
