Ed good luck in Ohio! I hope you have a great time, and a safe&successful hunt. In my opinionifI had to pick one Iwould go withOhio Bow Outfitters. They are located in Coshocton County which was the number one county in Ohio for deer harvests in the 2007-08 season, with 8,417 deer harvested. Compare this to Triple T Outfitters which is located in Hocking County which recorded close to 50% less deer harvested(4,686) than Coshocton County! Without having a chance to do a lot more research and calling past clients, I would just have to play the numbers. Either place I'm sure is great as Ohio is really building a reputation for great whitetail hunting! Try to hunt close to either a known bedding area or a regular food source. Ask your guide if they bait overany of theirstands (corn, licks, pellets, ect...) as baiting is legal in Ohio. I also have a lot of pictureson my trail camera of deer (bucks) moving between 10 a.m.-2 p.m. So don't be afraid to hunt the late morning and early afternoon, as the warm sun gets them up and on their feet!Best of luck to you and let us know how it goes!
Good info Pal, I was very impressed with Ohio Bow Outfitters and called his ref... with raving reviews from a few local
(New England) hunters... Hopefully they weren't relatives.
This guy did not bait, but has his 1/4-1/2 crop fields in place solely for archery.
I think he said that he had 156 stands set up on over 4k acres and he does this full time.
I liked the idea of the crop fields verses baiting, as it seems more natural (imo)..

Thanks again folks it's been helpful ~ Ed
