correct me if im wrong, but with the new policy you can only take one doe on public land then after the week long gun season you can take a buck, so my thoughts are find a spot on public land and look for a doe at the beginning of the season, but yea Im going to check out west branch and probably mosquito and possibly berlin if the other to don't seem promising
Contact or drive to the Oconee National Forest office on 441/129 just south of the Rock Eagle main entrance. They can point you to many thousands of acres of hunting and camping. Be mindful that not all public land has the same season as private land.
I just moved to Columbus from the youngstown area for a new job and I'm going to be stuck at public land until I can find some private land. My question is what public land is there somewhat close to Columbus and has anyone ever had much luck at any public land down here. I'm use to hunting private land back home and have never deer hunted ...
Yeah my brother saw the game warden with some Amish men last year during gun season. Lets say they got in some trouble had six deer between two men on there buggy non where tagged and they where hunting public land. The game warden was loading there guns into there truck and another heaving the deer into the bed of there infamous green truck!!
First season I can remember in 20 years I didn’t hunt any public land. There were years I spent nearly all my hunting time on public. I had a few rough seasons in terms of sightings and hunter pressure specifically non res starting around 13’. I will say the private I’ve hunted this year has produced lifetime records of deer sightings.
Hunting public grounds most likely is no different tham the public hunting areas where you are from. Do not expect a B.C. deer behind every tree. Consider yourself very lucky to see a 125" class deer in a weeks hunt. Do your homework purchase TOPO maps and check out the DNR site for public hunting areas. Good Luck!!!
Bow hunting would be good at either. If you do you pre-work and some good scouting you should be successful. If it were me and you were serious I would come up now before the leaves grow on the trees and scout a bit. Mark the area's you like. Shawnee state park has a bad ass hotel there. That comes from a friend not me I haven't been there.
Step 6- Purchase all required licenses. You will need a hunting license, WMA license (if hunting a WMA), Big Game license (if hunting Big Game), HIP permit (if hunting migratory birds), Federal and State Duck Stamp (if hunting Waterfowl), and any additional permits required for land outside of WMAs (some USACOE land requires a permit).
Then I realized the most important thing to encountering mature deer on public land is just being out there as often as possible and covering ground with your bow in hand. Habitat changes by the year and food sources by the day. Ohio has alot of hunting pressure but the deer come out of the woodwork when conditions are prime.
You can find some awesome hunting on West Point, one of the best wma's in the state for turkey and deer. You can find some deer on PF in the narrow steep funnels that arent short pines and but the turkey hunting's tough. Never seen many hogs at either, try pine log for hogs, and for turkey to come to think of it, lotta birds on that place as well.
