Work keeps me away during the archery season. I'd rather bowhunt when i go to Ohio. Muzzleloader season helps make the most of my Ohio hunt. Maybe its just luck, but I've taken some really nice deer during the old muzzy season, it hooked me for sure.
I live in Missouri and when I go out to hunt its to visit my parents. So I have to make a family trip of it (my wife is off during Christmas break).
I few friends from Ohio said they saw a few deer missing an antler, I dont have any trail cam pics yet either.
I would like to see Ohio have a early Muzzy season. I dont think its going to happen though.
