I'm new to Ohio, just found out about the rifle regulations, been looking into the urban hunting permits, I live outside of Batavia, I've only been here a few months and know no one around so I'm very limited to where I'm able to hunt for the time being. I primarily bow hunt anyway so rifle issues are no big deal. Moving here from Idaho it's a bit of a transition

Welcome to Ohio and TOO! Knock on doors and don't dress in camo when doing so. Ask to coyote hunt first just to get your feet in the door if you have to. Times are definitely different and hunting access is much harder to obtain and keep for various reasons these days! Good luck, there are some nice deer down that way! Check out East Fork state park too.

Welcome, I lived in Broke Back Mountain Home for a year and now I live about 45 minutes from Batavia. Feel free to get ahold of me anytime, I also don't know many people around here. I got hooked up with a pretty good crew that's all from your area though.

Giles will even take you down in a yote hole if you play your cards right lmao (inside joke)

Welcome tho man! You'll make friends, come out for some of the TOO outings and meet some people.

Since you're near Batavia, check our Broken Rack Archery shop. Dustin has opened his new shop and range near there. I haven't been to this one yet but was very satisfied with his work and business dealings with me. I wish I lived closer!
