Well fellas, I think I'll be back on the shed trail this weekend. I've got some random stuff to attend to, but I know I can shoe-horn a little local walking time in there. I mapped out some new public land areas in Ohio that I'd like to walk through this spring - just to see what things look like...

Bar exam is over, and I think it went pretty well... Results come in a couple months. Time will tell.

Jason - I think you'll be fine if you draw a tag. A week in Iowa in the 2nd wk of November... I definitelylike your odds. LOL I know you know what you're doing, bud.If you can find, hunt and kill deer in one state...you can do it another.

Hey Al, where do you live in NY? My family has a camp on the PA/NY border - and I go up there from time-to-time. Not far from the Allegheny Reservoir in the Allegheny National Forest.

I blew the dust out ofa couplemouthcalls this morning on my commute. Just like riding a bike, baby. LOL I wasn't really looking forward to turkey season so much this year (kinda still in deer mode), but after a few fighting purrs... I'm ready to call up some toms.

So what do you guys like to hunt besides deer? I would hunt everydamnthing if I could, but (like everybody else) Father Time forces me to choose... Deer and Turkeys.Back in the day, we really used to be hardcore rabbit and coon hunters - had the dogs and traps and waxes and dyes - the whole bit. But it was just too much time and effort. Started to cut into my deerhunting time, so we hawked the dogs and spent the money on beer, gas, car partsand treestands. LOL
