I’ve got 5 more working days and i am off both job’s for 10 days. Ohio Rifle season baby!
Haven’t really had the motivation to hunt this year due to some medical issues and work. I took the next 3 days pto so i can load some 325gr FTX rounds for the Marlin 1895 and 240gr xtp for the 44mag Handi rifle. Still need to do a load workup of 777 FFG for my inline. I think I’m going to tote the handi rifle a little more this year. I’ve got my clothes and double bull blind airing out for the weekend and will set it up Sunday to be ready to roll November 27th. Still need to take the ceramic rod to the knives and get them razor sharp, charge flash lights and headlamps, and double check all 3 rifles and I’m ready.
I got my permission slip signed 2 days ago for my favorite spot. Its a strip of thick creek bottom that runs about 200yards wide and 1000 yards long with a crop field behind it. I always see deer in this area and a real nice buck 2yrs in a row that busts me (I’m sitting against a tree) and he bolts to not be seen the rest of the week.
I also got permission to hunt my buddies lease alone per the landowner but that was last year. Haven’t been able to check with him this year but my buddy says he’s sure they won’t have an issue with it. Been several shooters on camera and lots of doe.
I’m getting excited. When does your rifle season start and what’s your plan?
