Does anyone know why ohio is a 6 deer state unless you hunt public land then it's a 2 deer state in most county's? I think they changed it a little this year with deer management tags,but I'm not sure.called local warden,but I haven't heard back

Public land needed managed differently. No reason the Amish (or anyone) could go in and decimate the herd in a week. Leave some for the rest of the people.

It also makes it hard to recruit new hunters when they don’t see deer sit after sit. Bird watchers/hikers/bikers all the people that utilize public land were being robbed by the handful of people raping the land.

I didn’t take it as bitching. I think my post was more about bitching😂👍🏼. Let’s see this public land buck and hear the story! We love that kind of stuff around here. Isn’t an inch contest here at TOO. We like the stories and the hunter to be proud and happy. 👍🏼

Damn fine animal!
I'm 48 bowhunting religiously since I was 12 in northern Michigan. My largest buck ,luck that I didn't fill my buck tag earlier in the season. It was the first buck in range, I dont often pass up meat because of antlers

You will fit right in perfectly fine around here. Even if you are from that shithole called Swanton...😂

There’s a few good members from around the NW area. You river fish? Eat chicken wings and drink drafts?

The 6 deer is your entire state bag limit. If you shoot 2 on public land (a buck and a doe) you can still shoot 4 more deer on private land, assuming you stay within the county-specific bag limits.
