I'm starting to bow hunt public land in Ohio. I've hunted Buck Creek and Sycamore. I'd like to hunt Wayne National, Burr Oak, and AEP AFTER gun season. I'm from Miami County (SW OH) and haven't traveled over there yet to scout etc. I'd like to get a few maps and review them prior. Are there any places in those areas you suggest to hunt or suggest to stay away from. Also, can you share any experience or success you have had on those lands? Feel free to include pics! Thanks in advance!
