I've also been planning to bowhunt Ohio this year. Usually hunt Georgia, but it's just too darn hot and humid there during bow season (got a heat stroke there last year). My son lives in Cincinnati, so I'm considering something in the southern part of the state, especially since I don't know anyone else there. Usually entirely self sufficient (tent, food, drinks, dishes, water, shower, ATV, etc.) on GA lease, but that might betoo difficult hauling all that gear all the way to Ohio. Perhaps blowing the bucks on an outfitter is the preferable way to go for a nonresident from a long way off?
