The Long and the Short of it !

Russ, the deer are definately on the move. My best friend just took a hog 13 pt in Ohio.
As you know, I have a 167 acre farm in Ohio, and will probably spend Wed afternoon sitting in a tree also--I am really not much of a bow hunter, but will probably be to hot to hunt the setters that afternoon, and I have been getting trail camera pictures of some real wallhangers.

Good Luck to You Harold ! They are moving here also ,I had a dandy 20 yards in front of me this morning but couldn't get him to stop for a Good Shot ! If I would have had my 270 Winchester Bow Id bet I would have made short work of it !

Well I stuck to the " Old Bow " and didn't use the Winchester Bow I mentioned in an earlier post but it finally worked out about 4:58 Last evening ! It was well past dark till I got him loaded and off to the butcher shop ! Hes a pretty good Buck for our neck of the woods !

Russ,
Congratulations on a very nice deer. I'm also trying to split time chasing birds with my Brittany and deer with gun and bow. Managed the eight point opening day of archery season and the eleven point opening day of landowner rifle. Pretty good year so far but I still have tags and the freezer has room for a couple more. Good luck on the rest of your season. Larry

I prefer the versatile Rem 870 bow myself.

Sweet "P's", Russ! I always duck hunt with a 16 Gauge. One of them came from you.
I sure could use a 32".................
Thanks for the pics my friend!!!

When I used to come up and hunt the Poconos with a group of Doylestown friends it was hard for a southern guy to grasp the regs in PA . One buck and a doe or two .

Heck in VA your big game stamps come with three antlerless tags and three tags for buck or doe . Then on top of that we can get unlimited antlerless bonus tags .

When I hunted Maryland just in the region I hunted I think the seasonal bag limit was 30 white tail doe and 6 buck in the three seasons combined as well as 3 Sika Stags and 6 hinds in the three seasons combined .

Russ, Larry congratulations. It is gray, rainy and chilly--perfect day for deer to move . Leaving for my farm ASAP.

Good Luck Harold ! I was laying down a Scent Drag line yesterday and Flushed a Woodcock , a beautiful crisp burn't orange breast and a very long Beak , I figure a Female , she was beautiful !
