    Welcome aboard Hornet. Not from Ohio originally, but, went to Defiance College, Defiance, Ohio. About 50 miles west of Toledo. Matter of fact, going back 9-25 for homecoming.

    Usually go back once a year and spend 3-4 days. Still have lots of friends in Ohio. Great state and lots of memories.[:)]

    I'm watching OSU whip up on Washington right now 21-0...Go Buckeyes!

    Thanks for all the responses. I'm in Adams County, Ohio. A southern county that borders the Ohio River. We have a good population of river bottom deer. I spent the last eight months trying to learn the secrets of calling and out-foxing the coyote. Still trying.

    I just moved from the panhandle about 2 years ago, was at cantrells old place on 136, what about 5-10 miles from you or so? moved to scioto co. to be closer to my customers and have local ph # for them. I still frequent mineral springs, although not to catch any fish, thats for sure. Love calling 'yotes, but always go to blue creek (home town) to do it. drop me a line if ya want to try together sometime. -Ralph

    .22 Hornet, you are real close to the farm that I used to hunt and probably still can if I wanted. As you leave Seamens heading toward Cherry Fork there is a auto body shop on the right. The farm I hunted lays all around and behind that shop clean over to the next road. Great deer hunting up there but I haven't been there since they dropped Adams Co. back to one deer limit several years ago. They raised it back to 2 a couple of years back. I also can hunt on Ginger Ridge and have family that owns a lot of land above Manchester on 52. Lot of good hunting there as well on the Ohio River. Do you do any primitive muzzle loading or Historical reenactments? Some members of our BP club live in Adams Co.

    Rebjr, have you ever fished the Sciota River above Portsmouth Ohio in Sciota County? I used to a lot just of Hwy. 101 where we used to own a fishing camp on the river. The camp was right after you crossed the RXR tracks out of Portsmouth. A lot of good deer hunting in the Shawnee Forest up there as well. Also have you been to the Lucasville Flea market during the big ones that take place 2 times a year. There is a lot of guns then. I don't know the exact dates but the Fall one should be coming up soon.

    jj - I know thw autobody shop you are referring to. Small world for sure. I don't do reenactments but I do shoot a muzzleloader. My wife and I go to the Lucasville flea market each time they have it, it's a good one for sure. Another really good one coming in two weeks is the Fall Muzzleloader Shoot in Friendship, Indiana. It lasts 9 days and is awesome. Check it out if you get the chance.

    .22 hornet, I will not go back to Friendship unless I absolutly have to! I have been there every year for the past 20 years and the NMLRA has soured me on them. They have gotten so money hungry it is ridiculous. I went this spring and only 1/3 of the sheep sheds were full! I did notice that the price of custom guns had dropped by about 1/3 though. Most custom parts are down in price with the exception of locks & triggers. The primitive camping area is out of hand on prices. A friend of mine took his wife and 2 kids to camp for one night and it cost him a total of $138 after he bought his wood, water, camping fee, and reup his membership. Membership has gone up to $40 and it used to be if you were a member you and wife got in free, not now. You pay $3.00 for the wife if she is not a member. The NMLRA is no longer a family group. NMLRA used to be able to buy powder at cost at the powder magazine but now they are chargeing members retail on powder, high retail! Also their magazin, Muzzle Blasts, is about in-lines and BP cartridge guns now rather than more traditional BP guns. The NMLRA does not want the primitive shooter there any more. In the sheep sheds is Poppin Moccasins and the gentleman that owns the business told me that the NMLRA raised the sheep shed rents to 3 times what they used to be so that is why most of them are empty. The only thing I would go back for is to the Flea markets and to catch up with friends that I only get to see once a year. Friendship has gone down hill every since the year that they had the flood. We got caught in that one! The ol lady and I were in the last vehicle to get out before they closed the roads. Man was that an experience!

    JJM60, Haven't fished the scioto for a very long time. usually put the boat in the ohio at holiday point marina in franklin furnace and would have to lock through the dam to get that far down river from here. you talking about 104 never heard of rt 101, used to fish on 104 but farther north, across 348, creeks full of gar there where it empties into the rvr.
    with the advent of private lands closing up to hunting, the shawnee forest is getting full, and busting at the seams during deer gun season,unless you hike in a good ways (you'd think 64k acres would be plenty, but.......) so I tend to shy away from there.
    redhairvixen and I usually hit the swap days in Lucasville everytime they have it. found a sweede 6.5x55 (sporterized) time or two ago, picked it up for $50, and haven't looked back, good shooter, flat and fast. other times I wish I could get for mine what some are asking for theirs, but thats just flea market gun shopping. hunt for deals, skip the rest, especially if they don't have a price on the gun, I usually don't want to know when I do ask!
    fall swap days are comming up soon, don't know the dates yet, want me to let ya know when I find out? -Ralph

    RebJr you are probably right as to the road number. It could be 104 instead of 101. It is the road that runs parralel with 23 and the Sciota river is inbeteen them. I haven't been up there in 5 or so years. I can drive there by memory but as to road numbers I really don't pay a lot of attention. The fishing camp was a 2 story house right on the Sciota River on the land that you lease. You own the house but the state owns the land. One of my Grandmothers cousins owned it and when he died his widow gave me second chance on buying it. She had given the guy that lived next door to the camp first chance and he took it. Can't blame him because she priced it to him for $12,000. If he did not take it, I was going to get it for $2000 less. If we had gottten it, we had planned on moving there. The Sciota River can get pretty wild at times. When it is down at summer pool it is one of the best catfish rivers in many miles. I take 23 up to go to Chillicothe to the Easy Riders Rodeo when I get to go. This year we did not and with all this rain I am glad of it! I have some family that lives across the River near South Shore as well. Are the murals still on the flood wall in Portsmouth?

    If you hunt across theriver in Ky near there I will tell you that you can legally take an elk if you hunt in one of the counties out side the containment area. Greenup county is outside it and there are elk being seen in the county.

    JJM60, the muarls are still there, and I believe they may have been added to in the last 5 years. I don't usually hunt KY, too much land in Ohio for me to hunt, and with the v e r y long 1 week season here..... I need to start bow hunting.
    Redhairvixen and I pondered awhile and all we could think of was 104, it parallels 23 on the other side of the river. You must have been out at Rushtown, its where the tracks cross the road and the homes are on the river bank on the east side of the road.
    You get back up this way, let me know, if'n nothings in season we can always punch paper. -Ralph

    Hi toolmaniam - good to hear from you. I work in Mason, Ohio and I see alot of coyote in the fields along RT.32 . I've seen three in the last month from Williamsburg to the Ford plant there in Batavia. I want to try to call some coyotes in the Eastfork Lake area soon. I'll bet they are there.

    .22 Hornet sorry about your luck being from Adams County![;)] Hopefully you do not live in or near Manchester![}:)] Welcome aboard and by the way a good friend, camping buddy, and reenacting buddy of mine lives in Adams County. I know several people in that area and for the most part good people. If from Manchester though just don't own up to it! At least say you are from West Union![:D] I used to hunt up near Cherry Fork some, almost to Siemans. Now if you want to come and join us in Gods country, cross the river into KY.! I am about 50 miles into Ky from the river. At least you are not living in Brown County![:0] Have you got a decent place to hunt in Adams County? Lot of real nice bucks around there! Only bad part is it is shotgun or muzzle loader only. All joking aside, what part of Adams County are you near? The BP club I belong to has members from near Manchester, Peebles, and close to the Sciota County line.

    God protect me from my friends, I can take care of my enemies...

    Raised in Will-O-Bee on the Lake, til 7, then moved to Euclid. Lived about 100 yards from Lake Erie there. Learned to swim in it, fish in it, even swallowed a few bucketfulls' of it - all before it got so polluted, when it had beautiful wide beaches. My heart can't handle the humidity anymore.

    Many, many wonderful memories.
