Ohio is 44,825 sq miles. At 25 deer per square mile the statewide goal would be 1,120,625 deer. The 25 DPSM must per per square mile of what the DNR considers deer habitat. Assuming your 560k and 25 figures are correct, it looks like the OH DNR only considers 50% of Ohio to be deer habitat. So just how is this any differnet than what PA is doing?
Another thing, let's say the OH DNR get's to a pre-season figure of 560k deer. You won't have sustainable harvests of 280k a year. Think more like 140k.
