Here In Ohio, the dates of bow run from October 1-January 31, gun season is usally the last week of November to the first week of December. The rut is usually winding down, however it depends on what kind of year we had(photoperiod) and such. I remember being the last day of gun season, and bucks(big bucks) still chasing does like ducks on june bugs!! Now it seems to be fizzled out, and the second week of November here is when its really peak of the rut, which its still bow season, and i got all these buck to myself!! Ohio is going to become as great as Minnesota and Iowa, watch and see.
