There is public land in ohio
It's a conversation for another thread, and maybe I'll start it up, but my public land experience last year was not good. I have hunted primarily public for about the last 5 years and I have noticed (where I hunt, SE Ohio) a definite increase in hunters and hunters willing to get farther into the bigger pieces of ground. I was walked in on multiple times last year a LONG ways from parking, lots of other hunters on trail cameras, deer sightings down (EHD probably the culprit there), etc... I am trying to approach public a little differently this year in hopes of avoiding some of what I dealt with last year.
