Make sure you bring us along virtually! Also a good place to keep a log. Might need that to put together information over the years. There is a section here for that. Use it if you want! Feel free to share your hunts up that way too.

I only bow hunted it a few times the day before gun, gun week my camp had a ball and we had success. If I were to go back right now I would consider the CRP fields that transition from the timber, feel like those areas are definitely over looked and left alone during archery for several reasons.
I’ll get this thread updated thanks for all your suggestions not looking for where a sure thing would be just a big chunk of woods to try. I’ve been try for 20 years to get my other half to move out to Ohio but her kids and now grandson it’s a no go lol

If you can get out early season, the southeastern side of Salt Fork off of slasor rd has some great deer that transition off and on of public and private land. I’m not going to tell you what tree to sit but if you’re thinking southeastern ohio, that’s a great piece of public to hit.
I appreciate it love to get out there for early season one year thanks for suggesting an area for me to get some boots on the ground if anyone on here has ever hunted maine then they would know deer hunt is no good here alot of people here go a whole season seeing just a few deer I’m going to enjoy just the riding around for a day seeing the area and getting to walk it

If your staying in Coshocton, you can check out Conesville Hunting Area. When we used to hunt private land next to it, we seldom seen many hunters hunting the public side.

MBH My farm's in Coshocton County and there are some well known and lessor known public land spots in that county as well counties to the East South and West. Might want to try going to the GIS site, OHIO DNR GIS SITE to get a good overview of all the areas and use Google earth to see historical imagery for clear-cuts/ adjoining private land ag and food sources; also GE can give you an idea on how the terrain will be. Saw @Knelly put up some AEP lands, that link is here: AEP Lands and are included in the ODNR GIS area as well.
Used to live in NH when stationed at Hanscom AFB.. New England was a favorite for us.

I honestly don’t know the name of it we was looking at a chunk of land by conesville just says state of Ohio and also says Ohio Franklin realty llc not sure if that’s public but my spartan forage apps is saying it is but I don’t 100% trust it
I just responded to someone saying we was looking at this area now is it labeled where we can park for access
Thank you very much Nh is great I know a few people that go there for big shopping days might have something to do with the tax thing

Coshocton is not far from me If you guys feel like making the drive into knox and richland counties I could show you around kokosing wildlife area and Mohican.
Ever seen a place like this? There's still some good people in this world. Keep paying it forwards brothers, well done

I think the Ohio Franklin Really land is related to what used to be called American Electric Power (AEP) land - power company land that's open to hunting if you download and sign a permission slip. Very much worth checking in to. The AEP land down near Athens where I hunt during our Strouds get together used to be called AEP on Onx, then Ohio Franklin Realty, now says both that and Columbus and Southern Ohio Power.

Yes, on a few of the apps that is use parking is marked. Download the Hunt Fish Ohio app, there is a map that will show all of the special areas along with allowing you to purchase license/tag and check deer in.
