About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedLogan County sits in west-central Ohio — technically outside the flat northwest corner but sharing its agricultural character. The landscape is a productive mix of row-crop fields (corn, soybeans, wheat), hay ground, scattered hardwood woodlots, pasture, and wetland pockets anchored by Indian Lake (5,100+ acres). Deer numbers are consistently strong: the 2022-23 season yielded 2,257 harvested deer against a three-year average of 2,201, and the 2024 gun week alone produced 933 deer (vs. a 758 three-year average), placing Logan above most comparable west-central Ohio counties. The county is well-regarded for trophy potential — mature bucks are common, and local outfitters advertise access to properties that regularly produce 150–200+ inch deer. Public land is limited but present: Indian Lake State Park and associated wildlife areas offer regulated hunting, and the Ohio Landowner/Hunter Access Partnership program supplements walk-in access on private ground. Hunting pressure is moderate-to-high on public parcels and lighter on the extensive private agricultural land that dominates the county. Logan County is not within a Chronic Wasting Disease Surveillance Area, so no early special firearm seasons apply.
West-central Ohio agricultural county dominated by flat-to-gently-rolling row-crop fields (corn, soybeans, wheat) and hay ground interspersed with hardwood woodlots, pasture, wetland pockets, and Indian Lake reservoir (5,100+ acres). Transition zones between ag fields and timber edges are primary deer movement corridors.
Moderate-to-high on the limited public land around Indian Lake; lighter on private agricultural ground that makes up most of the county. Logan County draws outfitter operations and out-of-state hunters seeking trophy bucks, which raises overall pressure during the rut. Hunter satisfaction statewide with pressure runs around 40%, consistent with the competitive access situation here.
Logan County is a 3-deer county under 2025-26 ODNR regulations. Hunters may take up to 3 deer total per license year (statewide max 6), with no more than 1 antlered deer. Antlerless deer are controlled via either-sex permits and deer management permits. County is not in a CWD Disease Surveillance Area, so no special early seasons apply. Public-land antlerless bag limit is 2 deer for 2025-26.
Archery: late September through early February. Youth Gun: third weekend of November. Regular Gun: week of first Monday after Thanksgiving (Dec 1–7, 2025) plus Dec 20–21 weekend. Muzzleloader: first Saturday after New Year through following Tuesday (Jan 3–6, 2026). Wild turkey seasons follow standard Ohio spring and fall dates. Deer are the primary draw; turkey hunting exists in the county but hardwood cover is fragmented.
Consistently one of the stronger harvest-per-county performers in west-central Ohio — 2,257 total deer in 2022-23 and 933 in the 2024 gun week alone (23% above three-year average). Known locally for trophy genetics; outfitter operations regularly advertise 150-200+ inch opportunities on private ground. Indian Lake provides a unique wetland-ag-edge hunting environment uncommon in surrounding flat-farm counties. No CWD restrictions simplify the tag and season structure.
