Wolvie — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 05:33:58 GMT

That's right everyone,...Mackey Ford on rt 762 is looking to be a hot place for deer so far.

I counted 9 deer so far crossing the fields and 2 were small bucks.

About 5 miles south on Rt 23 I saw a nice buck,big bodied.he was standing in a soy bean field with 2 Doe's.ODD,..but true.This was about 8:55 pm tonight.

Also saw those Turkeys again until fireworks someone was setting off scared them off.

The river (Scioto River) is down again and I am seeing deer drinking from the banks.

ODNR ,..needs to have some Urban Units

Wolvie — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:29:02 GMT

ODNR needs to get us some Urban units to hunt.

Otherwise they need to just rename the units they have,..to "You can't hunt here areas".

I would think that urban units would be like Metro parks that aren't in city limits.OH BUT WAIT,..all those high deer populated Urban parks are in city limits.

High Banks Park off Cleveland Ave. would be one of those parks i am talking or referring too.

At one time this park was over ran by deer,..But I have visited this park recently ...

But I see alot of what mostly newspapers and tv news reports,and it seems it is all just a big fuel for them to sell and draw more viewers.

Checking Station ONLINE???!!!

Wolvie — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 13:32:11 GMT

I was reading the newest publication of Ohio Outdoornews and came across one of the lead articles,...stating that Ohio is working on a web based "Check In Station".

Now I have experienced this type of check in station in upstate NY,...and I wasn't too impressed with it then.

WHY?

Simple,...it is not a good idea to allow people to poach deer or turkey etc.

And here is how it would happen,...the typical poacher will see this as a easy way to get away with whatever,...Yeah ...

Wolvie — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 21:34:51 GMT

I don't talk politics very often,but i had to ask why is this election so important,or more important then any other year?
