The quality of your planned event will greatly depend upon what part of Ohio you plan to hunt. You see from Lancaster Ohio(south central Ohio) to Northwest Ohio, all the way to the Indiana state line is pretty much flat land and patch woods. with mostly a good coon population. The problem with that flat land is that the wind blows hard and cold most of the last two weeks of November and then blows harder and colder the closer you get to christmas. Anything due south and SE of lancaster is hilly and old grown up farm land, now owned and leased predominantly by instate and out of state, horn hunting deer hunters. Coon are a little less plentiful, but your hound will have to work a little harder to put the coon on a limb where you can see them. the upside to the hill country is that when the wind starts howling in late november, the hills help block the wind from freezing you to death, and makes the hunt a little less cold and chilly. In general, the air temps usually are 8-10 degrees warmer in the souther part of the state than they are in the norther part of the state. On those warm nights when coon are moving the hunting is way better in the flat lands and patch woods, but when the temps get below freezing, and the wind starts howling, I think the hunting is better in these hills.
Northeast Ohio has some of the most beautiful coon hunting land in our nation. Rolling hills with small streams, corn fields and soybeans surrounded by smaller patches of timber. And a GREAT coon population.
Where I live we have a good bit of public hunting, but it is not nearly as populated as the private farm lands, if you can still find permission to hunt them.
