Good Luck to everyone. I will be in the stand well before daybreak on the 29th. I have sole access to 100 acres of private land off Rt 26 above Marietta, Ohio (Washington Co). I am putting out 400 lbs of corn this weekend and getting my stand hung.

Good luck to everyone, be careful and wear a safety harness

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters
 

Only 9 days to go guys.Anyone had any luck on the first week at all?Ever?I havent but do it anyways.Maybe this year will be different.I will be hunting quite a few places in Ohio.Especially Hardin co , Logan co , and Allen.I think allen county is way under hunted and underrated.There is a lot more deer there than people think.Most of my days will be in Hardin county though.Very good also.

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters
 

Hey Prozac do you hunt before or after the HUne bridge. I have been hunting that public land along 26 for 10 years and there are some nice bucks but as I am sure you know it is very heavily hunted. If you have access to some private land you are in business.

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters
 

Cosmowvu or prozac, Do you have experience in Wayne National Forest in or around Marietta? I'm hoping to hunt there this weekend but haven't spent any time over there. Could you pm me if you could help me out. I am not really trophy hunting, I just want to spend some time in the woods. I've never hunted public land before and Im interested in finding somewhere that won,t be packed with hunters. Thank you.

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters
 

Only a few days left..... the anticipation is killing me

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters
 

Hey i dont think ill go till gun season, but you never know. my friend will let my borrow, a crossbow if i want. I will either hunt in souther ross county, behind my hous, or in southern pike county, around the peebles latham area.

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters
 

Kcriss,

Let me give you a real good piece of advice if you have never hunted that area. Stop at the DNR office in Marietta. It is on the main drag down past the Harley shop and they will sell you some maps for something like 10 dollars and these maps will show you what all property is public hunting. Like I said I have hunted arround there for 10 years and I know for a fact that some folks that live out there will tear down the public hunting signs so you will drive right by thinking it is private property. There is much more public land along rt26 than I ever thought there was but it seems like all of the hunters seem to concentrate arround the Hune Bridge area or arround the next campground down the road near the watershed. I have encountered some real nice deer out there but the biggest buck I have ever saw was last year near the first campground on rt26. Since 97 I have taken a 130 class and a 150 class on some private property along 26 but they were pushed off the public land by other hunters.

Just get your maps and hunt the public land that is not so clearly marked as public and you should get into some deer. I will say though the folks out there are not really into the management aspect of hunting and they shoot whatever walks by. Over the last 10 years I can tell a big difference in the amount of deer I see every year.

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters
 

3 days left!!!

Me and my brother (hick442) will both be on the stand in the morning

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters
 

Just a quick THANK YOU to all that have grown soy this year. It has made a hugh diff. in the deer's health from that I have seen

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters
 

Just a few more hours......but the real question will be "Will I be able to sleep tonight?" Every year the night of opening season I sit there trying to sleep before I head out. It kind of reminds me of Christmas when I was a child......most of you know what that is like! GOOD LUCK

RE: Hey Ohio Deer Hunters

I just bought the property near Amesville last year (100 acres) and have been very impressed with the deer quality and quantity so far. My family and I purchase land just to deer hunt... This looks like it might be the best so far!
