Dang Craig, That is a bonified shooter.;)

RE: Anybody want to hunt Ohio?
 

Thanks guys. When I saw the pictures and at first glance, I thought I was looking at a Mule deer when I saw that big tall 10 pointer. I was pleasantly surprised at getting these pic's yesterday. I'm just trying to show people that we have some giants here in Ohio, it's an overlooked state and tags are over the counter. Everybody wants to go to IL/IA (I do too) but it's obvious that I need to spend more time here and I need to book more clients for my leases. I'll have more pic's in a few weeks when I go back to retrieve my better quality Cuddeback cameras. Glad you liked these.

Craig are lease's cheaper there in OH or about the same?? Walt

RE: Anybody want to hunt Ohio?
 

Yes, they are definitely cheaper than Illinois. Honestly, I've had a slow go at booking clients for Ohio which means I cant do a lot of full season leases and hope I get clients, because I will loose big money. The approach I've taken is to pay the farmer on a "per hunter/per week" basis which works out best for both of us. I only pay when and if I get a client. There are huge possibilities for us in Ohio but I need that client base to get more stable fornext year. This year, I'm using several farms (65 ac, 101 ac, & a 400 ac tract) for my guys but I've already walked another 50, 85, 392, 485 acre tracts and they all look great. In addition I'vefound a great big farmhouse to use (maybe a future WKP lodge) and another big house that rivals a Bass Pro lodge. I get more impressed with Ohio the more I look into things.

If the hunting Gods are smiling onSteve and I this year and we tag early in Illinois is it possible to call ya and maybe set something up?? Walt

RE: Anybody want to hunt Ohio?
 

Where in Ohio are you at? I will be hunting a couple of farms in the Zanesville area this year and can't wait. I let a friend hunt these last year because I couldn't make it there and they saw 5 shooters in one weekend, one in the 160's.

RE: Anybody want to hunt Ohio?
 

Walt, I sure hope you guys get a few big ones on the ground early so you can have fun and maybe do more filming. Sure, anything to help out the WKP team. We all need to do everything we can to increase our kills and maybe get Todd to release a double DVD this year. I do have some clients coming in to hunt in early November, but I have more land than hunters right now. We just need to through a little money at the landowners, make them happy and we’re all set.

rudy78, I have farms in Muskingum & Licking Counties and they’re close to you. That’s a killer area you have and I know you’ll have some luck there. Yes, Illinois gets all the press and Ohio just sits back and produces monsters that go unnoticed. I don’t know what these deer will score, got to be in the 160 range and I thought I was looking at a mule deer at first.

RE: Anybody want to hunt Ohio?
 

Maybe I will have to meet up with you when I'm there some night. I think we will be there the week of Thanksgiving. If possible we might even be interested in hunting on your ground for a little $. Keep in touch.

RE: Anybody want to hunt Ohio?
 

Muskingum is an awesome county to hunt. We have a 2000acre lease on the border of Muskingum and Guernsey counties. I got a 160incher last year on our lease.

RE: Anybody want to hunt Ohio?
 

buckeyehntr, That is an awesome buck, Congrats! Yes, Muskingum and those surrounding counties are the best in all of Ohio, in my opinion. Muskingum checked in about 8700 deer, talk about loaded! Big bucks and lots of deer andtags over the counter; you just can't beat it. Keep us posted on your season and good shooting. Craig

RE: Anybody want to hunt Ohio?
 

That is a SWEET buck! I love the bladed tines and tight spread. I think I'd rather kill a giant with a 14" spread than a 24" spread!

RE: Anybody want to hunt Ohio?
 

Thanks, it was an eight point mainframe with split g-2's(lovin that!) It had a spread of a 13 3/4. The main beams crossed in the front which I thought was really cool.
Here is the finished mount along with an 18pt that grossed 209 and I believe netted around 187". My buddy shot the buck onthe samelease in shotgun season. I'm pretty sure it placed 3rdat the deer & turkey expo in Columbus this past summer.
