Logan,

How old are you two? I'm likely hunting Delaware wildlife area this weekend. You guys going to be out and hiding behind trees in the area this weekend?

Longbowlogan · September 28, 2011, 09:00:00 PM

I'm 22 and alex is 23, I was hunting wildlife tonight. The rain sucked but had one doe out of range. This weekend I'll be hunting a farm i have permission for!!! What part of the wildlife are you going to be hunting this weekend? Maybe i can meet up with you during the middle of the day, I live close to the wildlife area.

Got you beat I'm 18.

Rob will probably want to hunt the state park on Saturday. I hope I can talk him into hunting the area south or north of 229, just off 23. Which area we hunt depends on the wind. Does that area get hit hard? I know hunters pile into the State Park with crossbows on the weekend.

Longbowlogan · September 28, 2011, 11:26:00 PM

I would hunt north of 229, seems like less people most of the time. If you have a small boat that would really help you get back where a lot of guys don't want to walk

being the weekend there will probably be a lot of people out hunting. The temps are going to be nice and cool Saturday so hopefully the deer will be moving good!

If I can get off work the 22nd I will try and come down and add another young guy. I'm 24. Got to bring a fishing pole or two as well. I fish out of a float tube down there on some ponds way back and caught alot of big bass....and bluegills with a flyrod for lunch. Anybody gonna hunt from the ground? I dont use a climber and dont have anything other than screw in steps or I will be a ground guy. I will post on here again if I can make it, but if I can't I know you guys will have a blast and hupe you all stay safe.

Longbowlogan · September 29, 2011, 07:56:00 AM

Hope you make it down! Alex and I will probably still hunt Thursday so we can do some scouting. The rest of the days we will probably hunt out of stands. I think we are going to bring some fishing poles down also!

Hey stick flipper what town do you live in? I live near baltimore, maybe we could get together and shoot sometime?

celticknot · September 29, 2011, 02:17:00 PM

Also bring a shotgun. I know its a traditional hunt but dove woodcock grouse squirrel turkey coyote and crow are in season. I got a woodcock last year. And some squirrel.

stick flipper · September 29, 2011, 08:44:00 PM

Celtic,

I live in Hebron. I can about hit a golf ball to buckeye outdoors. I grew up in Pataskala.

celticknot · September 29, 2011, 09:08:00 PM

Heck your not far away at all. I'm working in Pataskala right now. You ever been to the Great Ohio Squirrel Hunt? It;s Oct 8-9th if you have the time you should come. It's awesome. It's at AEP near cambridge. If not maybe we could get together and shoot sometime.

stick flipper · September 29, 2011, 11:34:00 PM

I work in pataskala as well. I work full-time for west licking fire district as a FF/Medic at the main station which is the big one in broad street a half mile east of kroger.

I have not been to the GOSH. I won't be able to go this year. I have been off for a few weeks for my wife and newborn. I go back the 4th and work is crazy until halloween. Where do you work at? Where do you usually shoot? I shoot in my yard but I also go to the fish hatchery. The hatchery is just south of I-70 and in between SR 37 and SR 79. You can see the hatchery ponds from 70. They have a really nice range. They use the 4'x 4' block targets set at 10,20,30,and 40 yards. They also have an elevated deck that is probably 12'-15' high to shoot from. It would be more of a drive for you though so if you have some place in mind I'd be fine with that.

Hey fellow tradgangers I will be there sometime on Wednesday...Vermont opens this saturday...Yeehaw! can't wait

celticknot · September 30, 2011, 07:18:00 AM

I'm an electrician. we are doing a renovation of the waste water treatment plant. I should be there another month or 2. And actually the fish hatchery is only about 8-10 minutes away. I have yet to go there but want to check it out. Is it just a range or a course? I'll pm you my number, going yard sailing in about 15 minutes. YeeHaw. lol not really. lol
