Thanks GR8. Got all the info. Your in trouble now lol!!

I'm so mad I could spit! I had the "new" property..the guy gave me verbal permission over the phone at the time he was busy and couldn't sign the slip. But he said to follow up after my vacation to get the written permission as required by Ohio Law. I just called him, figured I could do some more in depth scouting this weekend. (it's where the last batch of pics came from).

He told me a sale is pending on the land and he doesn't want to chance messing it up by letting anyone hunt it this year. He said if the deal falls through he'll call me! What could I do..but say "thank-you sir". So now I got a less than a month to the season and have lost 2 tracts that total about 400+/- acres.

Kinda late to be knocking on doors..but I'm gonna have to hit it! I can't freakin believe it... If I hit this lotto for 300 million I'm gonna buy Kansas and post the whole frigging thing at the borders!

GR8 that sucks

Why I lease, just a thought for you.

Good luck

Germ I search leases a couple times a week..not many very close by and tough to pay 2-5 k to kill one buck..I have decent public grounds but it too is a 45 minute drive..................................errrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh man that sux GR8. At this point you just need to solidify a spot, wether its a lease or public land, or guess what, you think 45 minute drive is bad, youll be driving 12 hours to hunt with me : ) Maybe you can post on the local Ohio web sites for some one that knows of property. I have done the door to door thing. Just smile wether they say yes or no. What county are you in Gr8?? I know a few people your way withsome properties. I think they are in Monroe and Vinton. Let me find out.

My main property I hunt is55miles away from work and 45miles from home. I do the drive every day once opening day gets here unless hell freezes over, or the wife needs me home for something really important, otherwise im in a tree. My office is 58 miles from my house, thats alot of driving in a week but its all worth it. If I miss just one night, I cant sleep, I keep thinking that monster just walked under my stand, I just know IT! lol.

Welcome back Gr8, bummer about the hunting spot, I have been there befor and sure hope things work out for you.

You guys sure been posting some good trail cam pic's, it's really starting to give me the feaver!

My son (rutnutt) has been in from MD since last friday, So we been doing alot of shooting and getting things ready. We even got the Daughter inlaws new bow all tuned up and sighted in for her first bowseason.

Im riding back to MD with Zeb (rutnutt) for a few days, and will check in soon as I get back.

Very nice pics everybody . That sucks about the land gr8 gd luck on finding something . Diesel you just keep tellin everyone there aint no deer in MD maybe thell listen LOL not with pics like those though man!! WOW!!

Dove hunting was a blast today. Got my limit 12, lost 2 and shot 18 shells.

Yeah Silver, he’s our first. Crazy days (and nights) ahead I’m sure. I’m trying to get all the squeaky wheels greased now so I can devote all free time to tree time.

Hey Tembry the lucky bastard went bowhunting today didn’t he? I believe we are due for a teaser report.

Millertime, good luck moving into a new home. Just do me a favor and please don’t buy a fixer upper. You will get very little time to hunt. Trust me!

Gr8atte, It sucks loosing property no doubt. Keep your head up and continue looking for land you’ll find something. Also it’s a good idea to never stop looking for land because nothing stays in your possession for a lifetime unless you own it and can pay the taxes. And with a million other things that can make a place go bad it’s always nice to have a handful of locations you can retreat to at the drop of a hat.

Diesel is your garage a fixer upper? I’m moving in!

Bawanajim, your wife chases bears? Sounds like a women not to be messed with or taken lightly. Good for her!

Firemed, where do you work? Are you an IAFF’er? How long have you been on the job? I work at the City of Corning Fire Dept. Local 932. Started part time when I was 19 and a year later hired full time going on 9 years now. No better job on the earth.

MM, hey old teamy...congratulations and make sure to get into the tree for some "alone" time to release the stress...and don't forget the side bet, Bro's vs XX'ers..We're counting on ya too.

Gr8...use the sympathy vote to get some land to hunt, and my lodge is always open and I'll put you in some great spots but it is a drive. ! Just let me know, I'm off the month of Oct.

Good Luck Team 10.
