Nice pictures Blow!!! Well yesterday was the opener of the Ohio 3 Day Muzzleloader season. It was a crazy morning. First, I had a buck walk in at about 50 yards. I thought to myself this is to easy. Then I lined up my cross hairs and pulled the trigger and a little "pop" I thought to myself are you kidding me. My cap had fired but failed to egnight the black powder. About an hour later I got down out of the stand and was on the way to the trucks with Ray and Old man River. When we looked out on the corn field and seen 12 deer in the open corn field well out of range. We got down in some cover and hoped that maybe they would get pushed are way. No luck on that happening and even if it did the chances of the riffle working was in the back of my mind. Those deer never did come back are way. When I fired my riffle to unload it still wouldn't fire. SO, this afternoon I cleaned out the nipple with a pin. I'm hoping that if I see something tomorrow that the gun will fire. This has taught me an important leason in life always keep your nipples clean.

Old Photo

My wife just found a way to make new pictures look old and worn like the pictures lining all of the walls at Cabela's. She is going to show me how to do it and then I will pass on the info. I thought it would be cool to do it to some of our classic hunting/fishing pictures we have.

Well is the season to be jolly. Some of us that killed bucks early in the year are sitting round the fire well the rest of us endure frigged Ohio winter. The hunting has been slow and cold since the Ohio deer gun season. However, we get another shot to get it done the weekend of the 20th with are shotguns and Four days starting the 27th with our muzzle loaders. In the mean time I hope everyone has a great holiday season. Enjoy the hunting but more importantly reflect upon the Saviors birth and the great gift it was to all of us. Oh yeah!!!!!!Enjoy the hunting with your families to. Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S Try not to shot Santa's Reindeer this might be hard to explain to your kids and the game warden.

Gun season comes to an end with two bucks and a doe!!!

This is Tharrons 5 point buck that he shot on the thursday that I decided not to go out and he sat in my stand.

This is how we grow them in Ohio this bad boy will score right around 150 I believe which may put old man river in to the Ohio Big Bucks club.

This was Tony's first deer it came on opening moring never had a chance with Tony and his new shotgun waiting on him to cross the field.

Here is another look at the monster dont day dream on it to long. Wish i could have been out there when this one was taken. People followed the truck to the check station to take a closer look at this once in a life time trophy Buck.

Mark Watson's farm

This is the property we hunt at in Ohio. There have been some monster bucks taken off of it. Hopefully there will be many more to come! I know that I have missed marking some of the deer that have been shot here so you will have to let me know so I can fix it, and where all of the current stand locations are. Just leave a comment. All of the stands that I know of are marked in yellow, deer kills are marked in light green, and the spot where I shot the coyote a couple of years ago is in purple.

I can't study!

Well, I should be studying for my 7 finals coming up in the next week but I just can't seem to concentrate. All I can think about is my baby girl that is due any day now and our big deer hunting trip to Ohio this time next year. I know that it is still 11 months away but I have already starting planning it. My good buddies Ryan Gebfert and Tyson Murdock are going to Ohio with me from Pittsburgh for 1 week next November to hunt with Kenny and the boys. Should be great fun. 1 whole week of man time/hunt camp. All the fartin, burpin, poopin, and eatin we can handle. And I am confident that I can say that I will kill the biggest buck since I am the best hunter/fisherman in the world! Congrats to Tony for killing his first whitetail. Ya baby!
