As someone who lives outside Ohio, I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to hunt on private land in the Buckeye State for the past decade.
My hunting experiences have taken me to Holmes, Coshocton, Tuscarawas, Scioto, and Gallia counties. Based on what I have seen, whitetail deer hunting south of Interstate 30 in Ohio rivals any spot in the Midwest. While I have enjoyed many successful hunts in Ohio over the years, the 2024/2025 season did not go my way.

As a lifelong resident of Michigan, I have hunted the Wolverine State for more than 40 years. I have been fortunate to chase whitetails across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. However, my favorite whitetail hunting destination is Ohio.
I first hunted the Buckeye State 10 years ago. On that initial trip, a friend invited me to hunt with his family on their property in Coshocton County. As usual, I had only a couple of days set aside for this muzzleloader hunt.
