Hunting Ohio Whitetails
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.

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.

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.

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?
