I will be moving from Fl to the toledo ohio area this summer. Been looking at two houses one in the swanton ohio and the other in Cygnet ohio and for a place to hunt I have a GSP for birds. Two beagles that run rabbits. I have a two boys 9 and 12 years old and we love to be in the woods. any help would be nice.

Welcome to TOO!

If you want to bird hunt, there are plenty of state wildlife areas in NW Ohio that release pheasants around Thanksgiving. But aside from that, you may want to consider joining a hunting club. Upland bird hunting is definitely not one of Ohio's strong points.

Yes. And if you move to Swanton, you will want to avoid a gentleman by the name of Swantucky!!! Good luck with your move!!!

Welcome. good luck with the move, hope it goes smoothly for ya....I'm in whitehouse (Just south of swanton) and there are some hunt clubs up this way, one of which I know has numerous pheasant hunts....If you choose swanton, do you know if you're kids will be going to swanton schools or toledo public schools?

I think you found your calling. Swantucky could use the influence of a good Baptist Minister!
