Ohio winter hunt...

T.R. and I (David) recently drove to Ohio to the farm my dad grew up on. Mick joined us for the trip. We got the idea to drive up for a late season hunt when we realized the deer season in Ohio runs to February. T.R. and i also recently each got new bows (thanks to the Jeremy and the staff at Bass Pro Shops in Charlotte). The real idea of the trip was to take a "practice run" in preperation for a mid-rut hunt next fall. Well it was cold, really cold. With a foot of snow on the ground and the thermometer reading zero degrees we werent really sure if we would be able to stay warm.

With the help of our cousin Scott and Uncle Matt we were able to take one averaged size doe. We saw around 15 deer on the trip. Mostly does, a few button bucks, and one nice sized 8 point that was way out of range. We feel like we are prepared to return next year for another hunt.
