Hi,
My name is Dan Seitz and I am new to this site. I hunt with a longbow and am looking for places to hunt that have deer. Let me explain: Pa. has been on a herd-reduction journey for the last 5 years and hunting in a lot of the public areas where I previously hunted is not worth the effort.

By the time this season rolls around I will be 60. I'm hot ready to throw in the towell just yet but I would like to do some bowhunting in areas that have deer. To that end, Lord willing, I will be attending the Christian Bowhunters hunt at Tar Hollow State Park this November. A fellow I know was there last year and saw a lot of deer and shot a 10 point. I've never been an antler guy, but the thought of seeing deer again in some numbers has me excited.

I live in Carlisle, Pa which is about 370 miles east of Columbus, so going to Tar Hollow is a bit of a ride. I would love to be able to hunt in eastern Ohio which, being a shorter drive, would allow me to hunt Ohio more than once during the season.

I lived in Columbus for 8 years back in the 1980s and am aware of the good hunting some of you guys have. There truly are some nice deer in Ohio.:)

Welcome Dan. We stay at the Hotel Carlisle every year when we go up to the Expo in Harrisburg. I love the antique hunting and fishing stuff you can find up there. Good luck this year. Hope you find something in Ohio. But there ain't no big bucks here :shhh:

Welcome to the site. The deer reduction has really hurt hunting over there from what my friends that live there say. Hope you do well this fall in the buckeye state. Good luck!

Dan,

Welcome and if you'd like a just-over-the-border hunt check out Egypt Valley Wildlife Area. It's only about ten minutes into the state on RT. 70.
