I'll be there! I would have chimed in sooner ,but my connection is so slow it took me 3 days to catch up!  

[bowmofo]

Oh! I think Vernon went back to the DARK SIDE!

Mike,

Nothing I can do on the shirts bud, order went in last Thursday.

Sticks,
Never been there...

Phillip's sounds great! I assume this is the place?

Both this and Ron's sound like good spots to me, just need to harvest enough for the 2011 campfire!  

[buckeye_hunter]

That's Phillips alright! They make VERY good summer sausage/trail bologna. I had half a deer made into it once by them. Excellent quality and vacuum packaging.

I sure hope we cut out some backstraps ourselves and cook them right there this year! I also have a friend that would let me come over to his house to hang and cut up a deer, but I don't know if he would let too many other people. We have cut up, ground, canned and packaged our own deer previously at his house south of Zanesville.

I'm already having trouble getting to sleep. Two more months of this?

[celticknot]

Yeah charlie 2 more months! I can't take it. I can put up a sign on monday at T13 so everyone will find it. But its kinda hard to miss. I believe it is exactly 6 miles south of cumberland on the left so start looking to your left a mile 5. I will be down on friday night to hunt a buddies property that is just a few minutes away. I will set up camp with everyone at the hunt on tuesday afternoon. I will be bringing a full iron camp cook set and everyone is free to use it as long as they respect it. I usually cook more food than I could ever eat and am always willing to share. I will have a few hardy breakfasts pre made and a few big dinners pre made. So bring your appitite. I can't hunt on twigs and berry's (or pringles and hotdogs) buckeye. I'm so excited!!!!!

Its the only intersection with a light on. That stupid little light has saved my butt year after year. Why does time go so slow when it comes to this sort of thing. Oh it flew by last weekend but nooo. Had to foam fill the old deer target last night. Ive been knockin the crap out of it, look out deer.  

[bghunter76]

Time is go n so slow now that i know that i'm go n hunting. look foward to meet up with everybody again. and meet n some new people again. Been reading lots of oasges post and ready to see some of his bows in person

[buckeye_hunter]

I was able to print off a few aerials at work. Not the best quality, but I will mark them and send out to those that requested.

[VTer]

Thanks Charlie.

[buckeye_hunter]

Drummer,
What kind of foam do you use? My 3D deer target is getting fairly ragged.

VT'er,
No problem! Like I said, the aerials are kinda small and not the best, but you will get a general idea. I will also write up a basic description of each stand site telling what is there. Such as; if it is a ridge, logging road, funnel or Oaks. That sort of thing.


Shoot straight fellas,

Gracies is in Cumberland, correct. It tends to be our go to place for snacks and adult liquid beverages. Scouting from the road is tough there as the topo changes quickly. This is reclaimed mining land, depending on what has taken place in the past or distant past the woods can change in a hurry. The deer like it though       but it can get tough on us ground hunters.

They also have decent burgers/fries etc. for lunch.

I would love to give this a try, but I have an invite to hunt a friends property on the West side of Michigan.  It is gonna be prime rutting time up here then.

[Drummer@Home]

Chuck I use the cheep-o great stuff spray foam. There are a bunch of threads on how to do it. It aint tuff, hec if I can do it, it aint tuff. I have fixed this one 3 times now. A little spay paint and its back to brown again. Its not the same foam and doesnt last as long but a much better price than a new one  

[HATCHCHASER]

I'm gonna try to make it down there.  Don't know for sure yet.  Yall ain't gonna make fun of my Georgia accent are ya.  

[celticknot]

I have lived in ohio my whole life and have been asked what part of the south I'm from. LOL you'll be fine pardner.

Maybe!  

[buckeye_hunter]

Not unless you make fun of my NE Ohio accent.....

[HATCHCHASER]

I've been coming up here hunting for 13 years.  I can handle the ribbing with the best of em.  I just happend to take a job this summer in Cleveland.  My wife has family in Howland and that is where we found a house to rent.  I am pretty stoked about getting to hunt some of these spots for more than a week this year.  Hope I can make it to meet some of my fellow tradgangers.  Sounds like a good time.

[GingivitisKahn]

Well, if you don't make fun of Charlie's NE Ohio accent, I'm gonna!  Georgia accent though - nah, you'll be just fine.

:D
