2008 Spring Turkey Hunt Ohio

I just found this video and some pictures on my computer from last years turkey hunt and thought I would post them for your viewing pleasure. The video is pretty funny. Someday, Kenny and I will have our own show!!!

Hunting has been slow even though this should be the rut !!!!!!!!!!

Well here in Ohio the hunting has been rather slow as we head into next weeks gun season. I thought that the deer would be chasing more but that just does not seen to be the case at all. I haven't seen a buck in over a week so we must have to many Does that the bucks were able to bed a doe early and not have to do to much fighting or chasing. Lucky think is we have seen many does and Anthony is trying to single candidly take care of the problem with his third deer of the year and second doe. He got her after his belly was full of turkey last night. I'm hoping that opening day of gun is a great day and that it is a successful as last year was. I'm hoping that we can off a few of the coyotes that have been running around so that the Turkey population continues to go up so that we can have fun hunting in the spring too.

P.S: I think that it is time to start thinking about the First big man trip. I'm thinking a big hunting/fishing we have conections in Utha, Idaho, Montana. And a few other places in the country but if we plan something now this gives us time to put a way into our man accounts. just something to think about would love to hear any ideas.

My second deer of the season. A perfect 20 yard shot right to the lungs. She ran for about 100 yards into an open field and just laid down and died. Just some more meet in the freezer!! Second deer with a compound bow!!

Anthony's first deer with a compound!!

My first deer with a compound bow!! About a ten yard shot through some trees. I hit him between his shoulders which made fall where he was. Who would have thought that if I had waited just ten minutes more an even bigger buck would have given me a decent shot as well. That's the way it always is with hunting!

Another good day of Ohio whitetail hunting!!!!!!!!!!!

The deer were every were again this morning we only seen one small Buck though but many does traveled through. Anthony missed his third deer of the year early in the morning. Then this doe and another came in to about 45 yards out. A little far of a shot for me but I though forgert it and let an arrow fligh. Miss!!! Again so I stand up recock the crossbow and she comes in to 35 yards better shot. Miss!! Again so I cock it one last time last arrow and she comes in to 15 yards lay the red dot on her and let on flight double lung and heart shot she ran 150 yards and died. I'm ready for another this time with horns.
