Be careful with the mead land now guys. Almost all is leased and is off limits to public hunting. Can't beat Wayne National forest, lots of birds and lots of room.

Any more info guys????????

RE: Ohio Turkey Hunting
 

Tar Hollow and Zaleski get pressured pretty good. TH is only 16,000 acres and gets hunted the most out of the two. Zasleski is 26,000 acres. Wyabe has over 180,000 acres, you should be able to find some room there.

Where I live of course.Gobble Stopper and I hunt together and we get at least 3-4 every year.If you can handle the hills Shawnee State Forest is a good place to hunt as if you can't tell my looking at my name.It has 63,000 acres.We also hunt a bunch of mead land that is not leased.DBaker is right alot of Mead land is leased but they are supposed to have signs up saying it's leased.If I don't see a sign in I go.It's not my fault they don't have it posted.

I just got access to a private farm that is around 100 acres that backs up to 160 acres of mead land. I walked over the boundaries and seen no signs so guess what, it's getting hunted. It's one of the few spots I have found that isn't leased or atleast it isn't posted with signs. I don't hunt mead land but since this farm I got access to backs up to it might as well take advantage of it.

well i could tell you ............ but that would give away my hunting spots

Great thread guys ....just the info I was looking for.

I am pretty new to Ohio, so at this point I dont have any private land honey holes yet. Until I saw this thread I was planning to hunt Tar Hollow this spring.
I am introducing a guy at work to turkey hunting .....and we are going to be taking off the first three days to hunt.

I guess my question to those of you who have hunted there before ...is the hunting pressure during the week bad?? Is it a truck parked around every corner .....or is it 10 groups of guys?
I am definitely going to be scouting other lands. Possibly Deer Creek, Paint Creek, Scioto Trail and maybe Shawnee and Cooper Hollow.

Should I just say screw it and focus on Shawnee?? That is a little more drive time...but I am willing if that is what it takes.

I have talked up spring turkey hunting to this guy at work so much ....I dont want to let him down!
Thanks for the info.

I hunt in brown county, it has hilly country, but there are some small fields at the top that make some great ambush spots

If you want to go to Shawnee Forest to hunt I will tell you to stay away from a bridle trail called Pigeon Roost.There are quite a few turkeys around the area but also alot of hunters.I'm serious about this no joke.Try it if you want but you will see what I mean.It kinda thins out after the first week.Maybe try the areas of Odell Creek road, Hobey Hollow and the Wilderness area.I havn't tried these spots myself so I can't tell you if there are turkeys in the area.The hills in these areas are really big and steep so maybe not many people hunt them in the spring for turkeys.I hunt other things in these areas in the fall.Sorry I just bring myself to tell you where I hunt[8D];).If you go good luck and let me know if there are any turkeys in these areas;).
