RE: Bowhunting Ohio
Welcome SC...
I haven't hunted alot in Ohio, but last year I leased some property in Athens. There are many opportunities to lease property, but if you don't have an enormous amount of time to spend in the location, it's probably not worth the money. The Ohio DNR site has some great info on hunting Ohio and I have been told there are some great public hunting areas, however, and don't hold this against me guys if you're from Ohio, but the gun season is definitely no time to be in the woods bowhunting. No offense and maybe it was just my location, but it was intense. Too much lead flying around and the deer were so spooked, I think they mostly stayed in hard to access areas. There are A LOT of hunters during gun season. Almost like a war zone. So, if you stick to bow season and hunt through October and November, it can be great, tough but great.
So, take a look at the Ohio DNR site and good luck.
