RE: OHIO deer hunters
Don't expect to see many mature bucks...
December 1st is post-rut, so you'll have to be a little lucky.
The deer population is very healthy, comparable to the last few years. The weather during gun season last year was miserable and therefore the take was VERY low. This was balanced by the loss of deer to the various diseases. I found 2 deer dead (presumably from disease - close to water) on my 100 acres.
Good luck, you can't go wrong in Ohio, especially Guernsey county.
