well a few days ago I finally got word that the place I used to hunt in Ohio for the past 13+ yrs was sold.
Owner died, a great guy, almost two yrs ago, and the wife was from CA.,and wanted to move back,
so she put the farm up for sale, wasn't having any luck, till all this oil/natural gas boom!
well since the oil companys were getting into the area, a few months ago, they bought it, and she moved., so its gone for me as a place to hunt!
I was talking to a local I keep in touch with and was told the land is now back up for sale, AGAIN, without the mineral rights for a crazy price. as apparently thats what some oil companys are doing, buying lands to get mineral rights and then sell the land without them to folks that don't know any better!
I am in the works to see if I can gain acess through the oil company, if maybe they do that till its sold, but so far no replys
that place was about the best most consistant place I ever hunted any where, and I have even been to , and I hunted a lot of states/places over the yrs, was an honest honey hole for BIG bucks yr after yr for me, easy hunting too, all I had to do was show up and climb same tree yr after yr and big bucks just showed up all the time!
going to miss that place
