Egypt Valley

[Bushman]

Hunted it last fall for the first time. Was crowded in gun season i know that. Didnt get to bow hunt it but plan to this year. Did some scouting a couple wks ago and man was it thick still. Rugged also. Not sure how i'd get a buck out since i hunt solo.

Hey, I'm a fellow Vermonter and I did some scouting at Egypt valley two years ago before deciding against spending my time down there. The area holds big deer but it is a tough place to hunt when you only get there one week a year. There is plenty of topography to hunt funnels during the rut and plenty of cover to grow big bucks but getting stands hung and good access on foot (good as in low impact) seems very tough to do without much pre-season work. If you have any other questions let me know and good luck if you do hunt there. LOVE HUNTING OHIO!!!!

Egypt Valley has grown into a giant mess imo. 30yrs ago I grouse, duck and deer hunted all that area. It was beautiful! Open fields with pockets of woods all over. Now all those open fields have grown into such thick scrub brush you practically have to crawl thru it. I always wondered what some 'controlled' burning would do for some of that area. That scrub has just taken over

I hear that it's thick. I'm ok with that but from the area maps it seems to have some oak ridges also. I normally try to hunt those pinch points and oak areas. You guys seem like there is no place to using a climber. Or am I reading to much into this?

Thanks,
Tim

Very nice buck!! Love the color of the rack and the way the ends curve up.
