New hunting ground...

[...]

I have been given permission to be 1 of 2 people to hunt a friends property in the Maumee River valley area of Ohio. The property is 35 acres of combined creek, woods, and a 20 acre hay field with a 400 acre bean/corn field the neighboring farmers owns. It looks very promising for a kill or 3 this season. Watch this space for updates!

Scouted the property today. It's actually 28 acres, not 35. Lots of deer signs. Tracks, rubs, and even saw 4 does bound off as I walked through the woods. What used to be a hay fueld is currently corn. Very excited to get set up and hunt. Henry county is a 2 deer county, so a "kill or 2" would have been a more appropriate opening comment 😂😆

Nice Danny, the Weber is at your disposal!

Oh wow,. this is something that I've been considering more and more and the years progress. Went a few times a teen with some friends. Definitely very exciting for you.

Was it Bow or Rifle for you?

It is exciting Drew. The landowner leases the front part of his property to a horse stable business. The only hunting permitted is bow hunting (I use a parker thunderhawk crossbow) so the horses don't get spooked by gun fire. Kind of cool cause deer may come to the woods on this property as a refuge when the bullets are flying during gun season. That's my hope anyway 🤔😊

The pencil tip shows the property. The field behind the house & stables is where my stand is. There is a running creek and about 100 acres of woods that the creek runs thru. Its a great looking spot with food and cover fpr shelter from the elements and protection.

OH WOW! Yeah that makes total sense. If no one is really allowed to hunt there typically, the gun season will cause it to be just that. A resort of sorts. Perfect advantage for bow hunting I must say!

So cool.

A lot of respect for hunters, bow in particular. I hope you do well this season Danny.

Thx John. I went out this morning. I didn't see anything but my mate Charlie saw 2 does. Didn't get a shot as they were 100yds out and moving away. Once the corn and beans are all off the deer should be moving around more. Right now its like having a loaded refrigerator and a toilet in your bedroom. Lol. Patience and time in the stand and we should get blessed 🏹😊👍
