Have any of you killed a buck on opening day? I know that Moundhill did a couple of years ago. Just wondering...

From the DNR

I set out to a new property yesterday that I had been getting pics of gobblers on. WIth the conditions I figured I had better set up on the cornfield.. I had one gobbling behind me at first light. SO I figured I was in for a good day...About 30 min after shooting light I had 2 hens come through...

The opening day forecast looks pretty awful. Around here, they're calling for 30-40 mph winds out of the north and possibly 1-3 inches of snowfall. I think I'm going to cancel tomorrow's vacation hours and go to work. What's everyone else planning on doing?

It is high time we get back on the BOTM train and there is no better way to kick things off than a story of opening day success from the 2011-2012 deer season! I've had the pleasure of meeting this young man and it is refreshing to see some quality outdoorsmen present in the next generation. He...

For the first time in over 30 years I won't be deer hunting opening morning. However that don't mean I won't be out with a gun in hand. Got invited to go this weekend to Middle Bass island for a duck hunt. We'll drive up Saturday, hunt Sunday and Monday morning and come home Monday PM. Had...

Once again I managed to make my wife a weekend widow, as I packed my gear and headed back to Sandusky County on Friday night. We hunted some leased ground on Saturday morning, just southwest of Sandusky Bay. There were 9 or 10 guys hunting, spread out amongst 3 blinds and a borrow pit. My...

If you guys have not had a chance to check out the latest episode of Midwest Whitetail Ohio, click on the link below and give it a watch! These guys do a great job of filming and editing a semi-live hunting show available online on a near weekly basis. I've met Jason Huntsman a couple of times...

Here's the deal - Hunting spot is 2 hrs away. I gotta be back for a 50th b-day party for a good friend/coworker Saturday nite. I've already cleared Monday off, so I got a 3 day weekend. Should I drive 2 hrs for a half-day hunt and then turn around and go back Sunday morning? Should I...

Congrats to Mike Cottis on being the September BOTM here on TOO! Mike's great opening weekend buck is the kind of deer we all seek to let the air out of come opening weekend. His story is sure to stoke the fire inside that has been slowly building steam all summer long! Thanks to Mike for...

I should say opening night......nothing like spending a friday night under the lights!

This morning started out with gobbling everywhere, but they were all at least 100 yards away. As it got light I realized I had set up right under 4 hens. They were getting pretty fired up, so I was thought they might bring the toms my way. Unfortunatley they flew down and went the wrong way...
