Now that hunting season is over I was looking into making a trip into Ohio. I currently live in southern MI and was going to make a hunting trip into OH. I see there are a lot of Ohio hunters on this forum. Could anyone provide me some advice on where the best deer hunting is at inOhio? From the information that I've gathered so far Muskingum and Coshocton counties are coming out at the top of the list. Do you have any advice? Is this the best area to go after those big bucks?

Any advice is appriciated. Thanks.

Um the best place would be anywhere in the statebut Cleveland.Just kidding but I dont really know where the best is just heard that they have good hunting and great deer.

Look into South-Central Ohio and South-east Ohio. Lot's of big bucks coming out of their of late. I live in MI also and you can be in some of the best hot spots down their in a 2-4 hr drive.

that's just urban legend...there are no deer in Ohio. [8D]

try "hocking county" wayne national forest is public hunting land there. just dont hunt there during gun season that place is packed but not during bow season. hell hit me up before you decide to go next season and i can point you in the right dirctions of were to park and all. my dad use to own land that bordered wayne national. and i have a lot of other good hunting spots to go to. probably around 6000 acres totall that i can hunt. variouse places in ohio.

coshocton, guernsey(or how ever you spell it), tusk. , i hunt in stark county and i see just as many big bucks here as in the other 3 i listed but the other three have the most deer IMO

central ohio is the sleeper area of ohio. some might not believe that but i found out first hand this year. i travel up there from south eastern oh, which somewill think i am nuts for but thats alright. the quanity of deer is not as much as the S.E but the quality is just as if not better nowdays than the traditional hotspots. problem is, is that there is not much public land up there as there is in the S.E. part of the state.

IMOmuch of the SEis over rated for kill numbers for the fact of how much land is available to hunt. If you would take huntable acres by how many deer are taken it wouldn't be all that impressive.

I think most anywhere in the state would offer a legitimate shot at quality deer.

It's all lies I tell you!! ESPECIALLY Tuscarawas County...Don't bother...hasn't been a deer here for decades. []

When I was looking online I saw that American Electric Power had some public hunting. Anyone try that public land? Also is it hard to find someone to let you hunt on private land in Musk County?
