I will be hunting Illinois and Ohio the rest of the year, mostly. I basically have the rest of the year wide open to hunt...Any suggestions as to when I should try to be in Ohio? I will only be bowhunting...

Late Oct. if you have a couple good bucks patterned, they tend to get on their feet that last week. The rut is hit or miss depending on where in OH your headed and can be different farm to farm so all day sits in Nov. are a must.

Sometime between the last week of October and the second week of November, in my opinion. If at all possible, try not to make up your mind until you can see a fairly accurate weather forecast. I know this takes a very flexible work/vacation schedule, but if you can avoid sitting in a stand while it's 70-degrees you're much better off.
