Orange season I guess I will just use my gun that shoots arrows
I have a split opinion I guess. I live and breath bow hunting. I will gun hunt Monday but I WILL set and not drive deer! I also take in to account other hunters and their choice. I'm not gonna screw a guys set up for antler greed, I take their choice into account. I am totally against deer drives. It's not fair hunting in my eyes (although it does has its challenges). It is fun but a 120 inch buck looks big bolting thru trees but when you bow hunt, you understand that it is not huge. I haven't shot a buck going on 2 years bc I haven't seen the one I want. A lot of gun hunters are in a "if it's brown its down" state of mind and I disagree with that on every level. Seems to be that gun hunters aren't real worried about good herd management and letting their deer develope, they are just out for blood. But hey, there are a ton of anti-hunting duesches out there so we are better off to stick together.

If there were 8 days in a week I would hunt 8 days
Lighten up fella's! This site is open to everyone, including gun hunters!! Many of you started out gun hunting and likely switched over at some point. Some of you may not be a fan of gun hunting and that is your opinion and stance. Don't cram it down the throat of the next guy that may cast a ballot whether to allow hunting in the future...period. As many have said, we are all in this together and if we don't stick together some day that other 'group' might not be there to help you out when you need it. Absolutely ridiculous to hear this kind of talk this day and age and especially after such an important election. Shame on some of you.
BNM to answer the actual question you asked, the rut is likely starting to dwindle through most of Ohio. There may be some does that got missed or some early born fawns coming into estrous so who knows. Bucks will likely still be looking some and the weather will have a lot to do with it too. Usually once the lead starts flying the breeding won't be on the top of their lists that's for sure.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

And that's ur opinion lol we all have our own and I think deer drives are for lazy hunters! And not to mention dangerous. Anytime I hear a story that starts out with "on this one deer drive" I get up and walk away. Lol like I said good luck to all the people who will be out be safe. Shoot straight and don't shoot towards oil pumps lol! Hope to see a few biggens over the next week but also can't wait untill this week is over!
Rut is surely winding down in my area... I hunt medina county... things were dead for about a week around my neck of the woods and seemed to pick up a bit friday... and we did see some bucks on their feet and cruising saturday and sunday... both young bucks and mature bucks...
I haven't been in the woods yet this week but from what i am seeing driving around things are certainly slowing down...
And I will be out monday with my father... I started gun hunting with him as a kid and from that grew my love for bowhunting which I have sort of passed on to him... once only a gun hunter now he bow hunts with me and we get to spend more time together in the woods because our love for hunting has evolved together! Kinda funny how things work sometimes...
Be safe out there guys! Best of luck!
Enjoy your hunt- the long sit......... the cold.......the rain and snow......the peace and quiet, it may just be your last hunt........... you never know.
I just threw my pro hunter and 11-87 in the garbage
ive hunted my whole life, the rest I just wasted
