I just checked a couple of websites and it seems Ohio does restrict deer hunting to various gauge shotguns, muzzleloaders, and bowhunting. I'll probably look into a muzzleloader when I move there (in about a year and 1/2 or so). Until then I'm still interested in a centerfire rifle (270, 30-06,...). What would be a good choice? I weigh about 190lbs. so I don't think some recoil will be that much of a factor.
