North East Ohio Whitetail
Well after all the dust settled on opening week, I have to say I did enjoy this season. I saw a lot of does far off and had a very nice buck get close enough to scope out. I could see him walking thru the brush but never had the chance to take a shot. I was amazed at the number of shots that some hunters make. One burst had at least 14 shots. So much for one shot kills. Was not long after that a few does came through my area with the afterburners lit. Bad thing was that after all that lead flying I did not see ONE hunter walking to check to see if he made a hit. This part of hunting makes me wonder about some of us out there. On my way out on friday I saw where a buck was laying in a ditch and someone had stopped and cut the antlers off it. No wonder some people dont like hunters on their property. Well I did not get a deer in gun season but I am waiting for this weekend when the special two day hunt opens up. I know where I want to be and just hope I can duck all that lead that will be flying. Be safe guys...someone wants you home tonight

Dude, the second shotgun season is only 2 days long... the 16-17. Muzzleloader is 27-30 of December, which maybe is what you are talking about, but I do not want you going out with a shotgun thinking you are legal and getting busted.

Well my blackpowder season didnt go well. First day I saw no bucks at all. Just a few doe. Well the freezer thinks I dont love it anymore so i deceided to take a doe. Around 10:00 am a cpl hunters passed by me on the way out. Around 10:15 a doe walked out about 25 yards from me. I placed a shot right where it should be and she took off running. I gathered my stuff up and started to track her. The blood trail was quite good. I followed her along a tree line and a power line cut. She ran about 120 yards and then made a cut across the road.This was where it turned odd. It seems she was also a samuri deer. She managed to gut herself and then convince two people to drag her off and give her a ride in their pickup truck. Needless to say I was NOT to happy. I didn't even finish the day hunting. I guess not all of us have morals when it comes to deer hunting. This is twice that this has happened to me in the last 20 years. I am really thinking about hanging up my hunting stuff and go fishing. Never had anyone steal a fish from me yet.
Hope you all had a better time than i did
