I was able to visit Ohio last week while I was out of school and went turkey hunting with Kenny for three days. We had a great time, but unfortunately, didn't bag any birds. Every day we saw deer either up in the winter wheat field or the meadow. One morning, 5 deer came across the meadow toward me from the wheat field and from what I could tell, they were all bucks (see pic below). That bodes well for deer season this fall. I also had a couple of jakes come to my call from across the meadow. They got to within about 100 yards and then Mass drove by the corner of the meadow on the OSU field with his tractor and they got spooked and flew off. Leroy (Ken) and I also fished a little bit on the Big Darby Creek in West Jeff. I was dumb enough to try and wade across the creek without shoes on and just about fell in 5 times. Kenny couldn't stop laughing at me. In the first picture you can see one of the new tree stands I set up on the property. It is right where the meadow, the winter wheat field, and the bottoms all come together. It overlooks a section of the fence where the deer have been crossing. The other tree stand is set up right in the middle of the bottoms along the old logging road that cuts diagonally across the woods. I took a machete down there and cleared out all of the brush around the stand for shooting lanes.
