I've been bowhuntin in Ohio for the past five years and am yet to shoot at a deer but I'm not a very good hunter. I have seen some deer though and a few really big ones. Ohio is very camper friendly and there are public campgrounds all over the state. The state has a good bit of variety in terrain types so you can basicly pick the type land you want to hunt and chances are, there will be good public land to match. Generally the flat farm land is to the north and west while the southeast is the rugged stuff. Big bucks are killed statewide but a lot of them come from the Wayne National Forest. Free primitive camping there and the campground I'm familiar with is nice with excellent hunting right at hand but raccoons will raid your tent if you leave any food out. Here's some links; www.ohiodnr.com/wildlife/www.fs.fed.us/r9/wayne/www.dnr.state.oh.us/wildlife/hunting/deer/deerhnt.htm

boman covered it pretty well. from what i saw there you stood a good chance at a very good buck nearly anywhere. with the 1 buck only limit, lots of hunters tend to pass on bucks less than 120" or less. some pass on much better ones, ohio right now for where i live has it going on. about primitive camping on the wayne... Primitive Camping Primitive Camping is allowed on NF land away from developed campgrounds and anywhere that your camping equipment and/or vehicle do not block developed trails or road right-of-ways. Camping is also NOT allowed within designated Special Areas. Plan to bring enough drinking water for the duration of your stay. Leave a clean campsite by packing out all refuse. There is no charge for primitive camping, although a 14 day limitation is in effect. It is not normally necessary to check in with the Forest Service. However, groups larger than 25 people require a permit and prior coordination is required. Campfires Small, open fires are permitted except during extremely high fire danger. No special permits are required. Please use extreme caution with campfires and make sure they are dead out before vacating the campsite. Use only dead and down material for firewood. Cutting or defacing live trees or shrubs is prohibited. Campfires are not allowed within rock shelters. A Forest Trail Permit is required to operate off-road vehicles and mountain bikes or to ride horses on the Wayne National Forest. Please review the Forest Trail Permit System. Bicycles Non-motorized bicycles are permitted on the ORV trail systems on the Wayne NF. A handout is available showing which trails allow for mountain bikes. Use caution since bicycles are sharing the trails with ORVs and hikers. Off-road Vehicles (ORVs) There are several areas which provide designated ORV trails. All vehicles must be properly licensed and drivers must abide by State laws they are very camper friendly this site here has everything you ever wanted to know about ohio on it: www.dnr.state.oh.us/publications/
