Ohio public hunting

OhioDuckHunter · 12-13-2002, 06:51 PM

Does anyone know where I can find information on CRP land in Ohio for hunting waterfowl and other birds? I have checked ODNR's website and can not seem to find anything. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Good luck with the Duck!

I have yet to find any listings of ohio public land, but I did just return from Delaware county and the state owns and operates public land there with areas designated for upland hunting, and there is also a large reservoir and plenty of smaller holes to set up on. there is also plenty of canadas hanging around. if you are more specific about where you live, I can help you more.

I would suggest the state owned land in Delaware county, its only about an hour north of where you are at. I was there a couple of weeks ago and they have alot of land for both upland game and waterfowl. It is located just of St. Rt. 42 just outside the city of Delaware. You can call the Ranger office in Delaware county and they will send you a real nice map. Go up a day or two before you hunt and do a little scouting, the area is massive, and there are areas specifically designated for upland game. hope this helps.

g-duck,

Is ther open water up at D or would I be hunting fields? Thanks.

they have both there, but I would stay on the main channel, or around the small ponds and marshes.
