Oh man that sux GR8. At this point you just need to solidify a spot, wether its a lease or public land, or guess what, you think 45 minute drive is bad, youll be driving 12 hours to hunt with me : ) Maybe you can post on the local Ohio web sites for some one that knows of property. I have done the door to door thing. Just smile wether they say yes or no. What county are you in Gr8?? I know a few people your way withsome properties. I think they are in Monroe and Vinton. Let me find out.

My main property I hunt is55miles away from work and 45miles from home. I do the drive every day once opening day gets here unless hell freezes over, or the wife needs me home for something really important, otherwise im in a tree. My office is 58 miles from my house, thats alot of driving in a week but its all worth it. If I miss just one night, I cant sleep, I keep thinking that monster just walked under my stand, I just know IT! lol.
