Looking for 2014 Ohio lease

[BSBailey]

Hate to burst your bubble. Hate to make a new member feel unwelcome. From the outside looking in though, not much time, and limiting your options between $500-1500 might be tough. Never really priced a lease. Work a ton of hours myself. I simply make it a priority to get after it and ask as many people as I can for permission. Not knowing your area, I realize this might not be a reality. I wish you luck. Welcome to TOO.

I realize it might be a challenge and maybe flat impossible for me really. But living in Columbus and working in Bexley with the hours I work makes it extremely hard to look for something the normal way. Because it is just me and my daughter we don't need a large piece of land. Just 10-50 acres with some deer activity.

Good luck. Make yourself at home here. Plenty of info. Might just find a new place to hunt with less traffic. You never know. I do know there are good people on here. Wasn't trying to be negative by any means. Sorry if it sounded that way.

You are good by all means. Just keeping it real lol. I just have a hard time trusting other hunters on public land when they seem clueless lol. I know the major push will be late season and during gun season. If I have to hit public land I was thinking either zanesville area or down south.

Are you looking for bow hunting land or a place to gun hunt, or both? How far are you willing to travel? Being centrally located, you have a large amount of possibilities within a reasonable distance.

I am mostly looking for bow hunting

There's tons of public land in the Zanesville area. I've been going there from NH for 3 years and headed there again this year. I've hunted a few spots where I didn't see another hunter in the woods for days at a time.

Can you PM me with the general area. I checked out their a few times last year and always seem to run into people. I say PM because I don't want everyone on the site to know.

I understand you don't want the info out there but all you need to do is go the DNR website and look up public land in that area. A few places that come to mind are Tri-Valley, Dillion and Woodbury. Lots of acres there so you'll have to do some leg work to find some spots but it can be done.

I checked Dillon out last year and it wasn't the best experience in the world to say the least

 

[ajupsman]

Woodbury and Tri-Valley are much bigger than Dillion. Combined they are almost 35,000 acres.

There is blue rock and south of there on 60 is the AEP ground.

Thanks for the advice. I managed to find some land now I just need to find a few additional hunters because its out of my price range
