I read or heard for bowhunting you have to take an archery proficiency test by shooting your bow? Is that true?

All you have to attest to when you buy your license is that you’ve previously taken a hunters safety course or have owned a license in another state. Click yes and onto the next page
 
I got on thier site and I’m sorry for getting this thread off topic that was rude of me. My apologies Sir. Thats a dandy buck it must have been a wild ride seeing him come into bow range!!!

No worries, and thank you. When I looked to my right he was 30 yds and closing! And truthfully, right when I saw him I pulled back and just held my pin on that does trail while hiding behind the tree so I saw him for a second until he was in my sight window

I’m from northeastern Ohio and there’s not much public up here… if you’re looking for public its going to be another 2-4 hours or so south.

I agree the better public land is down south but there’s a lot of public in Trumbull County. I guess I’m fortunate that I live less than a mile from the Grand River Wildlife Area which is at least 7,000 acres. Granted, there’s a lot of pressure (Amish and otherwise) but it is possible to get away from people.

Won’t ask specifics but have you had “good hunts” there? I always hear (1) there’s a ton of pressure, and (2) but there’s some big ones way back in. But I have no idea what the truth is. I live near Cleveland mainly hunt Ashtabula, one trip to southern Ohio each year.

Awesome buck! Congrats. My first time hunting in Ohio this year as well and obviously you have it figured out much better than I do, all I can find is Amish unloading by the van loads in ever spot I have gone. I am really glad to hear someone on here has done it their first time out there! Again, congrats!

You can find big deer in the flats. I just got home from out there yesterday. My personal opinion is the steeper and the deeper the better your odds

We were surrounded by Massachusetts and Connecticut plates all week. Except for one small little piece that we hunted Saturday and Sunday night and then again on Wednesday and there was a guy there from ny
 
This was killed with JC outfitters of Ohio if anyone is interested. Throw me a PM if you plan on booking a hunt in the future want an honest review of them. I had a great time and would have went back regardless if I killed or not
