Lee Fackler shot a 17-point buck on 11-11-18 in Putnam County, Ohio. It had a recently expired 10-point entangled with it. The Ohio DNR wrote Lee a permit for him to keep the expired buck also. He is having them mounted together. Incredible, obviously once in a lifetime. Can’t wait to see that mount, thanks for sharing!

I snuck in and set my decoy up (sans the head) inside to use as a gun rest. I was watching the entire area, and a few minutes later I noticed a dark-colored deer all by itself.

One good look and I was immediately in "shoot mode.” I started using a Remington [...]
Ohio bowhunter Chris Cook sent this to me on Instagram: 2 years, 80 trees stand sits, over 350 hours, more emotions, hard work and preparation than I can begin to explain. “Sideshow” finally made the mistake that I had been eagerly waiting on for so long.

Way to go Chris, great job!
Great guest blog from Ohio hunter Gary Bendele: November 8, 2018 is a day I will never forget. It started out like so many other November days, as I spotted deer cruising fence lines and creek bottoms in Fayette County, Ohio. I saw a little buck cruising a fence about 3/8 of a mile away. I wanted to know exactly which deer this was, so I grunted and rattled at him. It was dead calm and the rattling caught his attention right away. As the buck started coming my way, a huge buck stepped out of the timber and seemed mad that the little buck was there. He postured up and started out toward the inferior buck. I video my [...]
