The fingertips of now-fizzling Hurricane Helene scraped Ohio over the state’s opening weekend of the archery deer-hunting season, Saturday, Sept. 28.
It didn’t go well, but considering the devastation, lives lost, and more than $150 billion in property damage in the Southeast, two bad days of deer hunting is not even the most minor of tropical storm-related issues.

Some bowhunters even quit hunting, saying, “I’ll wait ‘til the rut.” Others second-guess themselves, thinking, “Must be doing something wrong. Just don’t see the deer now.” Others beat the pulpit in the press and on social media, proclaiming with fervor that the October Lull of legend is just another myth.
