RE: Athens, Vinton & Hocking Counties, Ohio
T Dogg, I will tell you a couple of spots to check out. Try Zaleski State Forest. It is where all 3 of those counties connect. I used to hunt it in gun season. Go up Coalmont Rd. 2 or 3 miles, I got a 10 point one year and an 8 the next. Try Four Hollow Rd. on the north end of the park go 2 miles until you get towards the top of the hill, I've got several does and spikes in that area. You could also try King Hollow Rd. if you pass the turkey management area, you've gone too far. Quite a few deer in that area with one less 12 pointer. You will have to scout it out for yourself. It is very rough and steep in those areas. I recommend a game hauling cart if you go off the road very far and thats even a chore with 2 people. There is really no reason to go very far into the woods, you will see why if you hunt there a few times. I love it there but I got better places to hunt closer to home now. The only time I go there now is for turkey hunting and fishing trips. Good luck
