your right mrbb, the drive home for me was easy, but for my hunting partner, who only saw two does all week, it was long. He help me a great deal with getting him out. I felt bad for him. He did take it well.

My partner and I hunted for 6 days. The day started at 3:15 every morning and ended about 7:15. For the most part we sat all day sets. Sometimes we moved at midday but I only did that twice. My sightings for the week was 4 bucks and one doe. It just so happens that one of those bucks was a dandy. We believe that we were early and the rut was not happening at all. No chasing, little grunting, and didn't seem any buck I saw or heard was interested in me calling.
We hunted public land and saw some hunters on the road coming in, but once we got back 1 mile or further we never saw another hunter. The spot we hunt had lots of sign, but the scrapes were not being tended at all. They were full of leaves. Rubs were plentyfull. It was a successful hunt for me and I was very happy. Next year I believe were are going to pay more attention to the rut predictions before we book a cabin. Hopefully there will be one open. That buck which I green scored at 163 3/8 is the biggest of my life. I am going to have him scored, and will let you know the net score. Ohio is a great state for anyone wanting to hunt public land. There are more of them out there.

well thats a great week, and a again a great buck
I always took the third monday in Nov and hunted Ohio for 10 days, typically like the say the 14-24'th or so, did this for like 12 yrs, being a 7 hr drive for me, I enjoyed them dates
it was always weather that seemed to make or break my trips more than dates in this time frame, warm weather always was slow deer sightings, cold weather, meant big bucks were seen a lot
don't know what part of Ohio you hunt, but if you Pm me, I might be able to get you a cabin in the area I hunted, always seen a lot of nice bucks and had alot of public lands about, like 5-6 minute drive from the cabin I rented, making life a little easier on time spent!

Griz, congrats on a great buck!!!!! Now, I have one question. Did you shoot 4 antlered bucks in Ohio? If so, that is a serious offense. Here in Ohio we can only shoot one antlered buck.

I got my buck scored after the 60 day drying period. Gross score 161 7/8. Final score after deducts 156 6/8. By far my best buck ever. I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to my trip back to Ohio in Nov. There's no better place to go for trophy bucks on a budget.

Looking back at the picture I posted, it does not do the buck justice. So I see what your saying Stonegod. The pic does not show the mass very well. I will try and post some different pics.

I wished I would of taken better pics at the time but I was on cloud 9 and still in the moment. As I said I will post pictures of the mount when I get it back. Thanks for the help Strother23.
