I'd love to make a trip up ther for about a week if I could every get the time to go up there. Ohio is archery and slug gun on right? No rifles allowed?
I haven't looked that far into it to know 100% but I don't hunt with one of them point n kills.. All about flingin them arras!
Beware of gun season and the orange army

I love it up there early to mid November!
I would want to be there min November if I go. I have hunted Lowndes wma, LBL, Ft Campbell Ky, two years in a row now and have not had anyone walk in on me yet.. Wait, maybe that means my spots suck!!!!! LOL
I once hunted with some guys in Athens, OH and we had to drive through part of the Wayne NF to get there. I can easily believe it holds big deer. I'd be interested in going back but Id carefully research places to stay and accommodations. There's not much in my that area and what little there is looks pretty rough.
I have read good things on Wayne.
Be aware that Ohio has 1 week of gun season & about half the state will be wearing orange and shooting anything that moves. I hunted in Wayne National Forest down near Logan for several years & saw some mighty good deer, but also saw the bad ugly side of people that can come out when a deer is involved. I had more than one episode where if the idot had been a decent shot I probably wouldn't have survived!
Tanks for the info. But, I aint a cheater I sling arras!!! LOL Sorry to hear that you got shot at... Been shot at quite a few times and it aint never fun...
