Owner, Joel Snow, slips into a tree anytime he can between hunts or after customer are in the stand. Joel called this eight pointer with split brow tines away from a yearling doe from about 100 yards. The buck worked a scrape at 25 yards and
then angled in front of him for a perfect 18 yard broadside shot. |

Tony Thompson of Pleasant Grove, Alabama with an absolute perfectly even Ohio eight pointer. Great width and brow tines! Tony harvested his buck on Thanksgiving Day 2001. Tony tried three times to stop his buck for a shot and
finally had to pick a 20 yard window and shoot him on the move. |

David Thompson of Clanton, Alabama with his first Ohio whitetail, a fantastic eight pointer with mass and width. David caught up with this buck on the last day of his hunt and two days before Ohio gun law season. Congratulations David! |

Master taxidermist Rick Busse of Piqua, Ohio with a perfectly beautiful 9 pointer. Rick's buck appeared in a cut corn field in pursuit of some does that had just come through the area. Two grunts brought this buck closing the distance fast, grunting the entire
way! Rick made a perfect shot and watched the buck drop a mere 40 yards away. Rick didn't let his Ohio deer tag burn a hole in his pocket long, purchasing it the night before! |

On Nov 2, 2002 it was pouring rain in the afternoon and no one in camp chose to venture out. I'm
sure glad I sported the GORETEX and did so. This hog of an 8 pointer couldn't lay any longer after the rain subdued to a slow drizzle 15 minutes before dark. |

|
Guide Mike Place with a whopper 150 class 2002 9 pointer. Mike wasn't real sure of the hit so we
decided to wait 'till morning since it was so cold. The buck wasn't 80 yards away with a clean double lung hit. Better safe than sorry!! |

Richard English of West Milton, Ohio ventures to the Five Star Camp any

Cousins Anthony Graham (West Virginia) and Gary McCoy (Maryland) with their first Ohio trophies.
Camp will never be the same with these two around! |
|
|
Anthony Graham of West Virginia with a super 9 pointer. Anthony hit the deer a little back and our
decision to wait him out paid off. A squawking red tailed hawk led us right to him (2002). |
|

somewhere for the first time. A Great 2002 9 Pointer! |
