Planning a hunt in Ohio
Ohio DNR’s hunting portal brings together the official information needed to begin planning. Use it to reach the destination’s wildlife area map and the current regulations rather than treating a general public-land overlay as the property guide.
Record the exact wildlife area or other property name so you can find its current notices again. Verify the entrance and parking location, then compare the area information with your intended species, season and method. Save the official map alongside your scouting pins for use when reception is poor.
Check the property and the route
Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.
Use with Free Hunting Map
Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.
View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
