    You have tons of state wildlife areas, state forests, and Wayne national Forest all within a couple hours of you. Considering I Columbus is the halfway point for me to Zaleski State Forest, I'd consider it close to you! You can find a listing of state game lands on the ODNR wildohio website...

    Seems to me that those who hunt big bucks during the rut are using baits that not only entice them, but make them crazy as well. Maybe some of the balls being used would be considered bait as well.

    Rumor Has it. No Ohio Baiting

    I have that same question. Sometimes segments of the sport can be quick to scapegoat a practice they are not particularly fond of without sufficient evidence.

    This one is a no fence operation that doesn't sound too "canned". Kind of how you'd hunt your own property there. http://www.bigbuckdownohio.com/wild_boar_ohio.php
