The whitetail world knows about Meigs County, Ohio, and the results speak for themselves. Known for producing some of the biggest bucks in the state, it's a county serious deer hunters pay attention to. This property deserves a spot on the short list of hunting farms available in the area.
With an attractive price per acre and options to purchase smaller tracts, there are multiple ways to make this property your own. Located on a quiet gravel road just a short distance from State Routes 143 and 7, it offers convenient access. While taking photos with the drone, I watched multiple deer utilize each of food plots in real time.
The hunting setup already has a great head start, with 12 Point blinds, food plots, and an established year-round feeding and mineral program. The deer know this property because they live here, feed here, and have access to water. As the season progresses, the owner reports that additional deer move in from neighboring properties.
When you look at a hunting property, the essentials matter: thick bedding cover, good access, food, and water. This farm has all four, along with designated sanctuary areas of undisturbed land that give deer a place to bed and feel secure. Stand locations feature backdoor access routes designed to help hunters enter and exit with minimal disturbance.
Anyone who has approached a plot full of deer before daylight; or tried to slip out after an evening hunt, knows how much that access matters. The groundwork is already in place here. Habitat improvements have been an ongoing priority. A timber harvest nearly 20 years ago created regeneration and bedding cover, and young oaks are now beginning to produce acorns throughout the property.
There's a strong foundation here, with room to continue developing the farm. There's a lot about this place that gets me excited. Hand selected by one of Ohio's top outfitters as part of the exclusive $100,000 Whitetail Challenge, this property has a history that makes it worth a closer look. If I were shopping for more than 200 acres in Ohio right now, this farm would be on my list to visit.
