  1. The gun seasons are for sure lengthy compared to other states. I agree.

    It's not the length of the season that allows small bucks to NOT grow tho. It's the HUNTERS.

    It's in the hunters hands and what they choose to shoot and put there tag on not the seasons length.

    Let em grow they will be bigger next year.

    I agree it's the hunters choice but those long gun seasons make it easier to shoot a small buck. Especially with our gun season hitting pretty close to peak rut. If we could only shoot one buck each year I think everyone would think twice before ending their season early on a small buck.

  2. I'm down in Latham Ohio at an outfitter and should be tagged out. Opening morning a beautiful 10 pt sneaks in from the left I've got the gun ready for him to clear a tree for about an 70 yard shot when he catches my wind. He turned to take off and I was able to get him stopped in an opening about 85-90 yards. I shoot and he drops - so I throw another round in and he gets up and scoots through the thick stuff. Waited 3 hours and had good blood with some bubbles in it and some dark blood on the one side. Had a group of guys and we searched all over with no luck. Sucks to lose one - would have been my biggest. I must have screwed up the shot because the gun drives tacks. Going to be a long rest of the week.
