Title: Ohio Bird Down
Post by: tomstopper on April 23, 2016, 09:39:46 AM

Had a fun 3 day hunt and was fortunate enough to get a bird down on opening morning. Day one at 11:25 I shot this bird who weighed in at 15.84lbs, 9in beard & 1in spurs. The next two days proved challenging because they were henned up but on the last day I came very close to taking a large tom but he went right instead of coming left (he wasn't going to let his hens get away from him). Cant wait to go back next year.

Was going to go there this season but went to Tusc. county this time. I will have to say that I love hunting in Ohio no matter where it is. If I go back to Hocking hills next year, we will have to get together Perrytrails

Got a nice 2 year old on Tuesday. 4 out of 7 days I didn't hear a gobble. Lots of hens not on the nest so hunting should get better.

Awesome. Congrats man. I know that when I left Ohio, the birds were henned up but I knew that as soon as they started to nest things would pick up.
