Ohio Hunting Trip


A friend and co-worker of mine, Darrel Coley, went hunting this past weekend in Ohio. His son Matt lives up there somewhere near Cleveland. Both pictures are of the three deer they got on Sunday, and the two guys in the second picture are Darrel and his son, Matt. Matt shot the doe around 7:30 in the morning and then around noon, Darrel had a group of five deer come in his general area. He said he only saw three but his son was just down from him and got to watch the show and he said there were five. Darrel shot one of the eight pointers with a shotgun (slug). I mention slugs because we don't use them here in Virginia - buckshot only for the most part. I guess some people do in the few counties that you can only use shotguns but none of our group do. The doe weighed 130 pounds and the bucks were around 180 each. The inside spreads on the bucks were 20" and 15". Quite the harvest for a two day hunt in Ohio. Congratulations Darrel and Matt!

Steve is that 130 and 180 lbs dressed! If so those are really big deer.
