The hunt will be on again this year! :thumbsup: Hope to get a deer, but understand it isn't a sure thing!
T-shirts? I can order them if enough people are interested in getting one. You need to let me know your name, size and address if shipping is requested.
Treestands? Legal
4 Wheelers? Only on main roads.
Where can you get a map of the area? Here: https://www.aep.com/environment/conservation/maps.aspx
*************************************************
Any hunters from out of state that are interested?
Non-resident annual license cost is $125
Either sex permit $24
Antlerless permit $15
You can only shoot 1 buck in Ohio no matter how many tags you buy.
So for this trip, if you want to have enough tags for a doe AND a buck, the cost would be $164
**************************************************
If you all have any more questions please feel free to ask.
Was hoping to get in on this one this year but will be in Florida that weekend. Good luck and be safe and hope to join you all in 2015!
Hopefully next year!
What's the cost of an out of state license run up there?... That's a long drive, but sounds fun.
Tradarcher, I went one year from VT and thinking I might do it again this year if things work out.
Glad it will last less than a week,count the Geauga boys in again this year!

Just getting back into shooting after a long layoff. I would love to attend.
That looks and sounds like a lot of fun. If I lived closer I would be there for sure.
You are welcome to come on out Gerry.
Thanks buckeye_hunter.
TTT for anyone interested or that hasn't seen it.
I might have to try it this year,I already got my out-of state license for this year and AEP isn't that far (I Think) and sounds like a good time...
I believe we will have anywhere from 9-15 guys there this year. This hunt isn't too far from WV.
:campfire:
TTT. I know a few people were looking for this thread, so I'm bringing it back up.
This news just made my day! Will definitely be coming! Campfires and secluded woodland on Halloween. Sounds awesome!
I never though of it that way! Halloween party trad style!
I will be starting a hunt on Nov. 1st in SE Ohio in Jackson. It would be cool if I could get up there and hunt with you guys. Already going to be gone for 7 days dont know if I could swing an extra 2 with the wife. I wear the pants in my family when she lets me! :knothead:
That's the way of families and homes!
Sounds like a wonderful time. Will try to make it.
We can keep an eye out for you!
Bummer your starting Oct 30th, with young kids I cant leave the state till after Halloween. I was there last year, look forward to seeing "the gang" again.
I will be there vacation got approved. Always have a great time and usually see deer every time.
Look forward to seeing you all! My kids are past the Halloween thing, so I am clear to hunt that weekend!

Cant fool me, I bet you will be dressed up like a predator, sitting in the woods on Halloween. lol Bummer I wont be there, maybe next year.
If I can work my schedule around I might be able to make it down there from Cleveland. Would love to get to know some more folks in OH that are trad hunters
I guess I will be "dressed up" for Halloween!
Greg,
Feel free to stop in any time.
:campfire:
a month away, seems like it'll be here tomorrow.
Soon!
Man I would love to make this trip but I scheduled my vacation time for 11/3 - 11/14! Hopefully next year and good luck to all!
Hi Charlie it's been a long time. how have you been? Wish i could make it this year but I'll be out of town that weekend.
Hey Aaron! Long time no see. Hope all is well!
days are flying by almost time. Look foward to this hunt every year.
Gettin closer
Just about time!!!
Less than a week to go. do we have any idea how many people that will be there this year. Get the camper ready today
Hope you guys have a great time. We are definitely out this year.
Post some good pics for us though!
Gonna miss you guys Jim
I'm thinking we have about 6-8 guys coming.
I'll be driving a black, 4 door, Nissan Frontier this year.
Sure would be good to see you and Dylan!
Dylan's married now and working a couple of jobs so his play time has been somewhat curtailed - heh. I will be unavailable for a few days - will fill you in next week.
Stinks too cause this is the year that everyone bags a deer. :D
I am planning on coming to join in the fun. Never done a Trad Gang hunt so looking forward to it. Been doing some serious Google Earth scouting to see what is offered there . Not that far of a drive for me but just never considered hunting there before.
It's really a big area of Pub land though for Ohio.
Will be in a red colored Ford F-250.
Any body know what the small game hunting is like there?
Squirrel, Turkey and Grouse will be in at same time is why I asked.
See you Friday Am!
Save me a spot!
Hey Charlie-how are things going? I went on your hunt 2 years ago and had a good time! Can't make it this year though, I had rotator cuff surgery, so I can't hunt this year! Maybe next year. Good luck to you guys hunt safe and have a good time!
Kenny :bigsmyl:
We have seen a few grouse, plenty of squirrels and quite a few turkeys (if you know where to look).
There will be a sign in the camping area that says Trad Gang. Not a big one, but it will be there.
We usually camp by the pond in the spots closer to the levy.
I have decided to get there late Wednesday. About 11 pm. That way I can hunt the morning on Thursday and then be back at camp around lunch for anyone new that may be showing up.
See you all shortly!!!
:campfire:
Kenny,
I've been doing okay. It sounds like you have it a bit rougher. Get better and we will see you next year!!
Mike,
I'm sure there will be a spot for you!
I should be there some time Thursday evening ,hopefully a couple hours before dark if possible.
I'll bring some extra firewood too!!
I spent a few days in campsite k last weekend. Deer sightings were about average for the area. Still hitting the oaks pretty hard. Lots of buck sign starting to show up. Turkeys were easily located and responded to calling well. Squirrel everywhere, our grouse population has pretty much disappeared around here. I am back to work tomorrow but hopefully can stop in and visit some. Good luck.
See you in the AM.! Looks like we may get some weather
Dylan had to work and I ended up travelling to MO for my wife's mom's funeral. Hated to miss the camp. Did you guys have a great time?
We sure had fun, but the hunting was tough. I was able to get into deer a few times, but got busted each time and never got close to getting a shot off. That's hunting though!
