Are you Ohio Boys done playing with your barbies?

Ohio boys, where are all the deer you are supposed to be pulling out of the woods? I am wondering if you guys even go out to the woods or if you just stay home and play with your barbies all day? I hope you guys hunt hard over this break and bring home some big deer! Good luck, stay safe, and have a great Thanksgiving!

Squirrel Down in Ohio!!

This is my nice female squirrel that I took with my bow the other day. I was walking to my stand in the woods and she just popped up on a stump about 5 yards in front of me so I let her have it. I almost cut her arm off in the process.

Jev the Jackhammer strikes in Pittsburgh!

Jev knocked down an 8 pt for the count the first night at a property we just got permission to hunt. He was very excited. It is not the biggest buck ever, but is first PA whitetail buck, and with a bow no less. It was a great shot and he only made it around 100 yards before he went down.

Squirrel Down....with my bow!

Jev the Jackhammer and I went out in the Pittsburgh woods and got us a monster Squirrel with my bow. I had a 7 point come in that I decided to pass on. Jev bet me I couldn't hit the squirrel with my bow, but I proved him wrong!

How to properly Cape a deer for a shoulder mount!

This video would have greatly helped Kenny and I the other day. We did an ok Job, but this video shows the proper way to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA3_E5

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!

The Ken "Big Hillbilly" Hunting Extraviganza!!!!!!!!!

Well Boys lucky for you the weather has pushed a little cold front in. Looks like the time you will be here the temp will stay at or below 65 degrees during the day and push in to the mid-to high 30's at night. Not to mention that the sunday the 4th of oct is a full moon. The conditions look prime for the pre-rut to start. I think that we will have to take a few man trips beside the hunting. One to the Der Dutchman for a wonderful breakfast buffet. Sunday night will be a cook out wich we will make a dry run of Rays turporken turkey around a chicken around pork loin with stuffing, Baked beans, Pasta salad, Cheesse potatos and pies from the Der Dutchman. Then the Therman Cafe it made the man vs. food look at new youtube clips. But this should be a fun week of manly activities.
