You might consider the Tri-valley Wildlife area in Muskingum County... probably only about 30 minutes from New Concord. The for-profit leasing has really picked up in Muskingum County the past few years.. so it is becoming difficult to find private hunting land without paying for it. The best solution... a local farm gal at the college who's family owns some prime whitetail acreage nearby. You might just have access to a nice deer population and a home cooked meal. Welcome to Muskingum County!
