    Piedmont Lake

    Hey fellas, planning to fish Piedmont next week sometime. Any one with experience there, could you tell me what the primary forage fish is there? Not sure if there’s shad or shiners, or if the predatory fish just eat the stocked saugeye and perch. ODNR’s website didn’t shed any light and I can’t...

    Plumbing (kind of?) Issue

    So my wife and I finally found a house we liked, and actually had our offer accepted. We closed a few days ago, and the projects started. We agreed it needed a new tub and shower down stairs, so I ripped out the old one. Everything has been going reasonably smooth (especially for a dipshit that...

    Hoyt Ventum Pro 30

    New bow has shipped, so it’s time to move the “old” one. Hoyt Ventum Pro 30, 60lb limbs, currently set to 29.5” draw. Stock strings on it, but still in good shape. I’m also throwing in the Hoyt Carbon Shorty 4 arrow quiver with it. Have it posted on FB for $800 but that’s negotiable. Wilderness...

    Back in the saddle

    I decided after taking my 2023 buck with my compound, it was time to slow down and pick up the longbow again after taking a 3 year break from hunting with it. I tuned and fletched a fresh batch of arrows a few days ago, and got around to shooting them beyond 10 yards today. I’ve kept up with my...

    Cabelas Pro Series Jerky Slicer

    So I bought this thing with hopes of starting to make my own jerky. I was debating between the $60 single slice at a time or this $150 boujie one and figured buy once cry once (that’s why I’m broke). For my lack of experience with these types of things, it’s tits. Slices the meat with little to...

    Illusions Systems Black Rack

    This isn’t a review despite where it’s posted, but I’m looking for reviews on the Black Rack. I trust most of your opinions rather than on their website or wherever from fan bois. I’ve carried a pair of sheds for pretty much my entire hunting career and have no complaints, other than they don’t...

    Unique One

    This fella showed up for the first time the other night. I assume hit by a car, but I’ve never had one quite this extreme. He looks pretty dang young, but it would be a hard pass for me due to the “uniqueness”. Hell of an inside spread for a 1.5 old 😂

    Mohican

    Heading down to Mohican for a night starting tomorrow morning. It’s for a buddy’s bachelor party, and the plan is to rent some kayaks for part of the day, but the cabins (Fryes Riverside Cabins) that we rented are apparently right on the river. I’m tempted to take a rod and try the stretch right...

    Age of a Motor

    I have my wife now convinced that we NEED a boat. Looking to get something in the 16’6”-18’6” aluminum bass boat, something along the lines of a Tracker 175. Leaning towards buying used, but that will depend on what my financing looks like once the bank lady calls me back. I’d rather someone...

    UP Trip

    Went up to the UP with a couple buddies in search of ice and walleyes. Found both. We had a great time and didn’t have any hiccups on our end, but some random dude did. We spent 5ish hours trying to get his rig out. Broke 2 steel cable winches, one ice anchor cable and the whole front end of...

    How cold is too cold?

    I already have my opinion on the topic, but I enjoy reading others thoughts and experiences to hopefully better myself (selfish I know). Up here in the NW part of the state we are forecasted to have a high of 0° tomorrow, and stupid high winds. Let’s just pretend that wind isn’t a factor for...

    Gun Season Cooldown

    I know there has been studies done on deer movement during gun season, rut, etc. But I am curious how long you think it takes for deer to get back to their “normal routine” after gun season closes, if they do? I know there is the bonus weekend of gun, but I can’t imagine it affects the deer like...

    Eberlestock X2 Pack

    After a fair bit of researching, YouTube video watching and going back and forth with @bowhunter1023 i finally made a choice and bought a new pack. I know this is a pack that is way more than what 90% of guys will need, but I think it’ll fit the bill for what I need it for. I hunt a fair bit of...

    Shooting a fall hen…?

    What would you do? I have a very healthy, and well established turkey population. Plenty of birds in the spring, and fall/ wintering flocks of birds north of 50 birds. I have a very specific hen I’d like to kill, but everyone is talking about turkey populations being nearly decimated in some...

    Stone Glacier Gear?

    Does anyone have any experience with Stone Glacier gear? Their Avail 2200 pack looks like its what I want, but the material looks a lot like a puffy jacket material and I’m afraid it’ll tear easily. I currently use a Badlands HDX pack which is fine up until temps start dropping, but its just not...

    Arrow Outserts

    I am currently shooting Easton Axis 4mm, and absolutely love them. They shoot very well from point blank out to 75yds, other than when I hit tree branches 😬 The issue I am running into, is the 50 grain outserts that come with them are aluminum and to be quite frank, they are junk. I’ve replaced...

    Favorite Whitetail Topography

    I’m not sure if this topic has been covered or not yet, but I am curious. What is your favorite topography for hunting whitetails? Saddles? Bowls? etc. And whatever your choice may be, why? And how do you hunt it? Being from NWO I only get about 1.5 weeks (at most) a season to hunt in SE Ohio...

    LEWT Tourney Cheaters

    So this has blown up on social media, Chase Cominsky and Jake Runyan were caught cheating in one of the biggest- if not the biggest Lake Erie walleye tourney. Sounds like they’ve won some big money and a boat fishing these ‘eye tournaments, and have been accused of cheating numerous times and...

    Bino Harnesses

    I know most don’t like bino harnesses due to their bulkiness, but I opt in for using one. I like keeping my binos handy, as well as my rangefinder, milkweed, mouthcalls, headlamp, etc. I have been running the Vortex GlassPak that comes with their binos the past 4 seasons and I’m looking to...

    Northern MI: Part II

    Back up north tent camping with the ole man for rifle opener. Got a couple inches of snow on the ground and what was in the forecast is now no longer which is a little bit of a disappointment. I dipped outta work around 4:30 and was up here around 9. My dad came up early yesterday and spent all...
