Ohio has pockets of birds, you have to try al harder to find them, especially on public land. Not to mention you can only hunt until noon the first week I think, and it opens on a Monday, in the past. Ky has birds on just about every ridge but you will have to travel more towards the south or west part of the state to find good public land. I'm not very familiar with public land in Indiana.. ..I have never had to hunt public land every to kill my birds
