At this point you can legitimately ask yourself if you should consider a different state. IMO, the overall quality of hunting here in Ohio falls well short of the trophy potential. In other words, sure, we still have a lot of big bucks, but we don't have that many deer these days. Public lands are overrun almost ubiquitously in this state. I hunted southern Missouri with another member last fall and it was an awesome trip despite hunting an area with less than 10 deer per square mile. Other states have lots more to offer in terms of scenery and much better camping, so I'd give some thoughts to hunting elsewhere.
If you're hell bent on Ohio, the rut is still a great time to be out here. Check out Wayne National Forest and Shawnee State Forest. Tougher hunting in regards to topography than what you've hunted, but a change of pace might do you well.
Good luck.
