So I see that a lot of guys here are saying they don't have to buy a liscense. What Id like to know is if you don't have to buy a liscense do you still have to obtain a free permit? In Ohio it's free to hunt on property you own and you don't need to obtain a free permit or license to hunt...

J-bird, "But I do hope that with data and cooperation we can reach a balance between hunters, non-hunters and the natural habitat to ensure we have healthy wildlife for future generations to enjoy." That is the million dollar question....the Ohio DNR (where im from) speaks of this continually...

Lol MarkDarvin, Buckeye Nation! That's where it's at. :-) Good stuff there, doghr n j-bird Something sort of out of the box that has been discussed is to regulate outfitters with an annual registration fee based off of how many acres they lease, (lost common hunter opportunity) this money...

If you were able to brainstorm with the DNR on ways to improve deer hunting on public land what would your ideas be? We have a local QDMA branch that has a very reputable relationship with the DNR. Our branch is interested in discussion with them on finding way's to improve public land hunting...

I can see that the fence project will increase stem count and oak regen and it will be interesting but I'm not convinced it's going to do much more than a timber harvest would. If there's too many deer for the habitat to sustain then it won't take long for your stem count to be back to where it...

Bullwinkle, We are in Coshocton Co. Ohio. Around here Auctions are very common and profitable. Today's auction was absolute, meaning the seller was selling regardless of the price however some sellers will place a reserve bid on the parcel. This parcel was all wooded, had no mineral rights...

Spent the morning here today at a land auction. 42 acres bordering our east edge. I would have loved to buy it and even spend more then what I should to have it just because it's against us. After a lot of discussion with the wife we came to the place that we decided it just isn't the...

I think I missed that I'm from great state of Ohio! :-)

Might of missed it on here but will MG grow in a wooded setting?

Glad to have found this site. My name is Curt and I was Brutusbeefcake on the QDMA forums. I just found this site a month ago which is also when I found out that the QDMA had shut down their forums. I have been pretty much disengaged with forums over the past 3-4 years after getting burned out...

So after 6 yrs you take the fence down and it's back to where it was 6 yrs earlier in 2 months? :-) couldn't you get the same results by just planting a bunch of oaks and protecting them with tree tubes? It's a cool research project though. Will be interesting to follow.

Blizzard, I'm curious, what did you find?

I've been to Boot Camp several years ago and loved it. Tony and Lesa were very hospitable. If you can get past his promotion of self there's a lot of things that can be learned in an in the field setting. There is no way under the sun that i can implement everything he does. Don't have the...
