Good luck and try to stay warm !!!!

Well here are the pics. Not a monster but I am completely satisfied. I have lucked into some nice deer in the past but this one was earned with a solid hunt in terrible weather. So the weather stunk with heavy rain and then heavy rain snow mix and some pretty decent wind gusts. Spent first 3 hours in the stand and saw one doe. Full rain gear but still miserable. Went into the ground blind around 10:00. Stayed dry but very limited visibility. Around 11:30 decided to still hunt some. Came up over the top of a ridge and looked down. There was a doe laying down on the trail. At first i thought se was injured. She just stared at me at around 80 yards but didn't move. I crouched down and starting scanning through the scope. I spotted a second doe behind the first one in the brush.... Was kneeling for around 10 minutes scanning the brush and saw a very white "branch" in some heavy brush about 20 yards from the doe. I figured out it was a buck but couldn't see the body. I belly crawled about 15 feet to a downed log to use as a rest. That first doe just watched me and never moved. After scanning for a few minutes all of a sudden "the buck" stood up and shook like a dog. It was about 10 feet from where I had seen the antlers. I aimed and fired...twice. But the buck did not run. Finally after a minute or two he started trotting to my left (i had thrown two more shells in my shotgun while I was waiting) shot twice more and he disappeared around the knob of the hill. After shot 3 he was clearly hit but I was not too confident. Slowly moved along the top of the ridge and saw he was down. First thing I noticed when I walked up to him is that his antlers were not white at all. I am confident there was a second buck. This one picked the wrong time to stand up while I was waiting for the other one. I am confident I would never have had a chance at these deer if the weather was not so bad. That doe spotted me right off but she just didnt want to get up. Now I am nice and dry sitting in my living room....

Very nice, Congratulations

Good JOB and congrats. Right time Right place is always nice

Congrats, he'll eat just fine

Nice buck, congratulations!

Dave

Congratulations

Sit all day in climbing stand and saw one small buck. Boy it was a miserable day. Got a good coating of snow today maybe it will get them on their feet

Today... Tuesday Dec 1, 2020, should be a good day for this short Ohio Season... Got 2.5 to 3 inches of snow in Licking County, Ohio, yesterday afternoon and last night. It is 29 degrees at 8:00AM... with a high of around 34 degrees. There will be some wind 13 to 18 mph and right now it is swirling. Still snowing a little but do to stop around noon, but could get some light rain. Perfect duck hunting day... LOL!

Good luck Buckeye hunters...

Garry-

Nice Buck!

Well after shooting the buck yesterday I got lazy and did not get out until 8:30. Beautiful out with the snow. I decided to still hunt again. Within 30 minutes I ran across two does. First one split but the other hung around. Thick brush but thought I made a good shot....nada followed her tracks for 200 yards. Not a spot of blood and she was moving. De que red that sit on a log and let it settle down. Not a lot of shooting and a did not really see many hunters out. Only going to hunt until about noon....pressure is off now.

I've been in my climber all day and just had my first deer a small doe come by, hopefully something will show before dark

I woke up around 6:00am yesterday and decided there was not much point sitting in a hard driving rain in the stand or blind on my 10 acres. When I was in my teens, twenties and thirties and probably in my early forties, I would of been out in it.

I was in the stand by 4:00pm yesterday in a hard snow, with lots of wind. Every branch, stem, weed and leaf was heavily coated in snow, greatly reducing my visibility. Two ash trees blew down, while I was in my stand. I saw lots of juncos, doves, a few woodpeckers, 2 cardinals, 1 fox squirrel and 1 rabbit. None of the wrens, titmice or nuthatches that I normally see during gun season were out.

I heard 13 shots. 1 group of 4, 1 double and 7 singles. None were close.

I should be in the stand a little before 4:00pm today.

I was in the stand at 3:38pm. I saw more birds and no mammals besides cats. There was a strong wind with very strong, occasional gusts. The largest ash tree on my property fell over sometime last night. I hope everybody else is doing better. Congratulations to the guys who got one.

Keith
