Many hunters in Ohio today lament the fact that there just isn’t much small-game hunting that goes on these days.
So, in a sort of nod to yesteryear, Mark Gaietto and some of his Seneca County buddies are putting the “big” back into small-game hunting. The hunt is held every year on the first Saturday after muzzleloader season for deer wraps up.
With a severe cold snap enveloping the state, there is very little fishing going on. For those who have ventured out, saugeyes and muskies are on the anglers’ menu.

By this summer, there weren’t many outdoor-type people in this small, Crawford County, Ohio, village that weren’t aware of the big buck that cruised the fields out in farm country.
One of those outdoor types was Ben Cramer, who decided early on that he would set his sights on this buck this season.
“This is our first year really hunting him,” Cramer said. “But, a lot of local people have known about the deer.”

In the recent past, Punderson Lake in northeast Ohio was a place to go if you wanted to catch a rainbow trout.
And, it was a pretty good option, but the ODNR Division of Wildlife in recent years revised its list of lakes where spring trout stocking occurs and Punderson was among those that didn’t make the cut.

According to the National Deer Association’s (NDA) annual deer report, Ohio ranks just outside of the Top 10 for mature buck harvest.
According to the report, deer hunters in the United States are harvesting more mature bucks today than at any time in recorded history. That is true as a percentage of the antlered buck harvest and the actual number of bucks harvested.

Several years ago, O’Shaughnessy Reservoir in Delaware County in central Ohio showed the best catch rate for largemouth bass of any lake fished on Ohio’s bass tournament circuit.
A bass 12 inches or larger is considered a keeper because that’s the minimum legal size fish in O’Shaugnessy. There’s plenty of bass here, most in the 2 1 ⁄2 to 3-pound range that will run anywhere from 14 to 20 inches.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Wildlife officers have difficult jobs.
Contributing Writer Jane Beathard wrote a story for our Nov. 8 edition about Ohio’s Columbiana County Wildlife Officer Jesse Janosik receiving a valor award from the ODNR for his life-saving efforts to rescue a boy who had been run over by a lawnmower.
However, measurements of the pedicles of the antlers in the study did show generally that the bucks had less testosterone during peak rut times and incomplete antler growth likely due to the extreme conditions.
