bghunter777 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have been hunting in Pa for years and occasionally in Wv. I have been reading and hearing that Ohio is a great state for hunting whitetails. I drove out today to the Woodbury Wildlife area three and a half hours from where i live in Pa and was not impressed there was evidence of deer but what i got from everyone i talked to is the hunting pressure is very high. I know this takes away from a quality hunting expierience. If any one would be willing to point me in the rite direction of other public lands or even a local farmer that you may know of that welcomes hunters. Any info is greatly appreciated. im looking for just somewhere i can go and enjoy the sport that we all love. Pa especially during Rifle season is loosing that. Also i enjoy hunting mature whitetails which i heard are more a reality in Ohio. Any help is appreciated thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaret Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah gun season is pretty crazy. I'd never hunt on public land during that time. To me, it just seems like a accident waiting to happen. But bowseason i believe is the best time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I keep hearing that hunter numbers are going down, and I keep saying, "not in Ohio." Ohio has plenty of public ground, but it's usually pretty crowded. You might want to check out The Wayne National forest ground and Ohio Power ground.

EKYhunter Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Not going down in KY either. There's some good public land in southern Ohio. Check out their DNR's web-site and you can get a listing of all public ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
