My area holds Pope and Young bucks and possibly even Boone and Crockett caliber deer. The major problems i have are pressure and where the bucks are bedding. The land around me is all private, and i have permission to hunt a good chuck of this (over 1,000 acres) andmy familypersonally owns100 that only me and my brother hunt. During bow season the pressure is not too bad but during gun it is ridiculous.

But the biggest issue is where the deer are bedding. I KNOW that their are 150+ inch bucks in the area, but they are never seen during the day. Last year i took a good video of a 140+ after dark in a field i hunted over 30 times, but never saw anything bigger then a 6 point in during the day. Anywasy now im just rambling......


Heres a taste of my area,

Sorry for the lengthy post but i had youtube and photobucket handy at the moment. I guess my area would be normal for Ohio, maybe not quite up to par with Iowa or Kansas.
