I'm in the process of relocating to NE Ohio - Twinsburg, OH to be specific. Any 16'ers in this area that can provide a little guidance on places to shoot, hunt, and any dog or hunting rules that I might not be expecting?

Welcome to the area. I'm only about 15 miles n/w of you. When you get in to town let me know and I'll take you out to Greenville. There are some really nice guys shooting out there, and though it's a drive, it offers very affordable rates in a very nice setting.

I'm sure the reason Russ, RWG, asked if you will be here by June 8th is because that is the day of the Vintage Shoot at Greenville. Check out:
www.greenvillesportsmen.com
for all the details about the shoot, as well as other info about the club. I'll look forward to seeing you out there.

We aren't much on hunting, but we also run some 16 gauge clay shooting events in the Columbus area.

I am in Solon, OH right now in a hotel. Will be in the middle of moving the weekend of June 8th and through the following week. I appreciate the invite, regardless.

I would like to hook up in late June or early July. I imagine I'll have my hands full untill then. Thanks for the info and I look forward to meeting each of you.

I was raised in Solon more than a few years ago, and the town has certainly changed alot. I live just east of Chagrin Falls, about four miles away from Solon.

Let us know when you are settled in and ready to visit Greenville. I'll be happy to introduce you to the guys and gals at the club.

Chopper: I'd like to give you an invite to come down to God;s Country for a grouse hunt. But you're about 25 years late. Sadly, the grouse are about all gone and my knees can't take the rugged terrain any more, so I'll just say welcome to the Buckeye State.. You'll have to learn to yell "Go Bucks" .. MDC

Well I will be darned. I didn't know you guys lived around here. I live about 20 minuites from Greenville. I usually shoot at Western Reserve out side of Mercer.

Left the state in 92and grouse was ok, what did the clowns do now???

I'm speaking of Ohio Power area.

Ben Yarian,

You ought to come out to Greenville Sportsmen's Club on Sunday, June 8th at 10:00AM for our annual vintage shoot. Check out the details on www.greenvillesportsmen.com.

Heck, if that date isn't any good for you, the club is open almost every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday at 10:00AM. I live about 20 miles southeast of Cleveland, Ohio in the suburbs and drive 55 miles to Greenville because the guys are friendly and fun, and the club is very nice and inexpensively priced.

Hope to see you there sometime.

M D Christian,

I have hunted the Tappan Lake/ Clendenning Lake area since the mid 70's. You sure are right about the grouse. They were plentiful then, but quite rare nowadays. Still is a beautiful area for a walk in the woods though.

Go Bucks.

The LaDue reservoir area (North on I-271 till you get to State Route-422 West, about 1/2 hour from Twinsburg [At the intersection of SR422 and SR44]) has some hunting available as well. Mostly waterfowl, with some squirrel, deer, turkey, and rabbit as well. It's not on the ODNR web site, you have to call the division 3 headquartes for an old map. They used to charge $25 additional to the hunting permit when it was managed by the City of Akron, but now ODNR manages it and considered public land. Free to hunt for Ohio Hunting license holders. Let me know if you'd like more info.
