It's the last hunt they have... I think it's the 26th maybe.....

I'm planning on cold, nasty weather. Packing a complete change of clothes and boots, in case I get soaked. I've tried "scouting" by looking at maps and satellite. But, the area is so big that I gave up. Will have to wait for that day to figure out what area I'm assigned.

Did your friend have any luck?

you should be able to obtain a map for here . by either calling ohio dnr or looking @ a map on line for public hunting grounds. i also believe you are aloud to visit but can't hunt in the refuge. you can hunt any where else that the map shows . it is a public hunting area.good luck

sorry bocajnala the refuge is actually a NO TRESPASSING area

Ya I called to ask if I could get in there to scout this fall and they told me I wouldn't be allowed in until the day of the hunt, but that they would "point me in the right direction"

he shot a 12 point buck that scored 160 but was unable to put in the bbc due to it is a controlled hunt .they claim it's not fair chase. i never heard of that here. but @ ravennia & plum brook they won't score it either due to the hi fence rule. but good luck there.getting things ready for sat & sun extended gun season .sat is 35 & sun is 40 & a chance of rain. my favorite season is still muzzleloader season jan6 thru jan 9 2018

No fences at Mosquito... But I don't care about the book anyway. I'll likely shoot the first legal deer I see.... Like normal, lol.

I shot a nice doe on Sunday afternoon with the .45-70. Got her hanging in the garage now.
