survivalshop Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 I just got back from Ohio for gun week & it was not a normal gun week . It rained non stop for four days,three of them being the first days of the gun season ,at the end of the of the third day when it stopped , I saw my first Deer & shot it in some thickets . Small buck ,but meat for the table .Opening day saw an almost 50% drop from last years kill & the week ended with a 39% drop from last years .I normally see 9-15 deer on opening day ,but I'm sure the weather had some ting to do with it , because no one wanted to go out in it (well at least the real hunters went out ALL day every day ).Got colder on Thursday , but still no Deer . I drew a bead on another buck on Friday morning with my 44 , but buck tag already filled so that was it . We had one guy in camp that was shooting daily , but only shot up a bunch of trees & did good at center punching them though . He was using my spare 1100 & shot good at the range ,but there are no trees on the range ,LOL.All in all , it sucked for a gun week , but you have to take the good with the bad , its the way it is . At least I came home with meat .One thing I can say was my rain gear worked flawlessly , every one else got wet every day, I was the only one that came back at night dry. I bought a TRUE SPEC ECWCS parka , I was told it was made in Indonesia , but found it was made in China . It worked for three days when all the other name brand ones failed , so that's enough for me . I plan on getting the pants to match , my heavy vinyl ones are getting holes in them from the briar's.
98Z5V Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Awesome, man - I miss the hell out of slug season there. I'll have to call my brother and see how he did. He's WAY INTO bowhunting, but he always goes out for slugs, too. Hunting is hunting for him. <thumbsup>
98Z5V Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Not in Ohio... not for deer. It's 12ga slug only - or bow.
