try the wayne national forest in south eastern ohio. i have killed plenty of deer here. i usually hunt in the vinton/athens/meigs county areas and jackson,hocking, and perry and surrounding areas have bits of the wayne also. there were some bruisers taken out of the wayne and tar hollow this year and every year but it is public hunting so you will want to get in well off the beaten path if you want to find mr. big. ohio is blessed with public hunting in about every area of the state if you look and we have some nice bucks slipping down these ridges and along these corn fields
here are some ohio bucks
try searching the raccoon valley wildlife ecological area or something like that it is in vinton county and near mcarthur they chave camper spots and i have hunted turkey and small game there and seen a pretty good amount of nice bucks there at night coon hunting
