"I used to hunt Ashtabula county in Ohio.The guy I hunted with has a camp in 2F but lives in Ohio.He kills a world class buck almost every year in Ohio but he'll even tell you that he sees more deer in 2F.The first time I hunted out there,he told me not to expect to see more deer than I see back home.I hunted there for 3 days the first time and only saw 5 deer entire time and I hunted from dark to dark all three days.Like anywhere else,some days are better than others but on the farms I hunted,deer sightings weren't much different than around here.One of my best friends still hunts those farms every year and it's pretty close to what he sees here.The big difference is what you have a good chance of seeing.Obviously,not all areas are the same.They have some deep snows during winter up there and alot of Amish,both of which impact the deer numbers."

Have hunted trumbull county up "that way" and seen far more deer than here on average per day. However the higher deer section of ohio is the southeast. Higher than any wmu in Pa currently.

To compare ohio to Pa is useless. It like comparing a super model to Rosie Odonnell. And thats no exaggeration. There is absolutely no comparison. Ohio is basically an "elite" deer hunting state with areas of very good numbers and a very good (comparatively)chance for some very good bucks and is home to some world class bucks, throughout the state And Pa is scraping the bottom of the barrel on all counts. To even insinuate the two have anything in those regards in common, or worse speak of Pa as being "better" in those regards is a real insult to Ohio imho.
