welcome to the site, I too am a PA resident.
but on the east side of PA.

As for info on hunting Ohio, the best information I can give you is pick an area, and try and get there and spend as much time as you can walking area's you like
you can do a bunch of looking on Google earth first, and then pick area's youluike, go there and look them over in person!
the hardest part maybe will be finding a good spot that isn't being hunbted in your time slot!
the rut these days brings out folks at that time of yr, so any spot that you might like, might be someone else's spot come rut time too!
so when scouting for deer sign, scout for hunter's sign too, like watch for tree's that have sign's of being used with a climber tree stand, or loc on stands/climbing sticks
any markers they use to get into the stand in the dark or??

Ohio is a great state, BIG bucks get killed all over the state every yr
so any where can be a great spot
a lot comes down to food pressure, and what locals and hunters hunting area's let walk or don't!

I strongly suggest talking to the local game warden in area's you like as well, or any park rangers too
they can tell you a lot of GREAT info if you ask, they can tell you about pressure in the area, any problems locals have with hunters or deer(like crop damage) or trespassing, or poaching problems
they can tell you when trhe rut is on average in THERE area
you can also ask about what public lands have food plots and where they are, what is planted, how much, and possibly tips on where to try your luck, any BIG bucks they ben seeing

be suprised how helpful some wardens can be
NOT all will offer up info to you, but like they say, never hurts to ask, and also, getting to know the local warden, can be a plus down the road too IMO!

like all hunting, the best places are places that few hunters hunt, and deer feel safe YR round! and have food, cover water, all yr either right there or close by!

I also suggest you think about maybe the early season,. over say the rut too
everyone gets caught up in the rut, pulls hunters out off the couch and out of work and fills the woods
when honestly, the best time a buck can be patterened and maybe killed is the first few day's weeks of a season when there still on fee patterns, and predictable??

think about it
they haven't been hunted in a yr, fewer guys are out there, and the best foods are still standing??
NOTHING wrong ith the early season
plus you never get cold in a tree LOL

I also like this time of yr too, any standing crops are 100% deer magnets
big bucks are out there, if they were not, there wouldn't be any come the rut?? 5-6 yr olds live thru many seasons to get old and BIG!
so odds are good
its the temps that keep most folks home and NOT hunting this time of yr!
