Pittsburgh boys head to Ohio!!!!!

The Pittsburgh boys headed down to Ohio for some farm hunting fun! Our host was Kenny "big hillbilly" and we would like to thank him for the hospitality and Ray Martin as well for allowing us to come on down and hunt. Day one of the hunt started off with arrows flying around the farm. I had a buck down within the first half hour of the hunt. My buck was not a bruiser, but he is my first buck ever and I was very happy with him! He was not very wide, but had some very good height to him.

The last picture shows the awesome enterance wound of the rage 2 blade. My shot got both lungs, the heart, and broke the opposite shoulder. He only ran 60-80 yards before dying.

Bryant got a whack at doe the very first morning as well, but neglected to hit any vitals. We unfortunately were unable to find the deer. That afternoon however he managed to put a good shot on her baby button buck when he came back to find his mommy! Bryant said before the hunt, "I am trophy hunting this year". His statement proved true when he drug this 17 lb 14 oz beast out of the woods on the first afternoon hunt.
In this picture if you look closely you can see the milk on the deers lips!
From this angle you can see what appears to be a rope on the deer. This was said to be the umbilical cord.The lady at the check in station said that it was not necessary to check in coyotes, but we assured her that it was indeed a deer.

Tyson "Tux" had a really nice shot on a 6-point buck but he failed to tell the deer he was supposed to die after all the blood was drained from his body. We followed an awesome blood trail that a Helen Keller could have followed for over a mile and we never found the Buck.

All in all the trip was a blast and we all had fun! Bryant is still trophy hunting until Wednesday so we will see if he can bring home a bruiser!
