I'm looking for any info about the public land in eastern Ohio. I'm planning on heading out there this spring. Curious if anyone has hunted Woodbury, Dillion, or Tri Valley wildlife areas. Not looking for anyone's spot, just wondering if these areas are worth trying or get heavy pressure. I appreciate any information anyone is willing to pass on

Thank you

Might as well try them all and see.

Any Ohio public gets a good amount of pressure.  But like anywhere, if you aren't afraid to get deep you'll find birds.  If you can pull off weekdays you'll have less interference.   All the counties you listed are in the heart of high turkey population areas.

I've hunt/ hunted all Of the areas mentioned and all 3 have turkeys, and all 3 get their fair share of pressure. I would suggest taking a day to scout before your hunt. Shouldn't be hard to find a gobbling turkey if you do your homework on any of the areas mentioned.

Never hunted those WMA's but hunted near there. I've hunted around 20 states and the hunting pressure was worse than anywhere I have ever been. Posting specific areas only makes it worse.

Years ago, friends and I used yo fish throughout what's now known as the Egypt Valley WMA. It's located in Belmont Co. just off of Interstate 70.  I'm sure the area experiences a lot of hunting pressure, but the WMA encompasses over 18,000 acres. You should be able to find some space to yourself if you plan well.
