Ohio Deer Hunting

The premier privately-owned hunting property in Ohio

Welcome to Brushy Fork Outfitters, Ohio’s premier hunting operation. We’re situated in Coshocton County, in the heart of Big Buck Country, but we also have thousands of acres of private lands in Licking, Knox, Coshocton and Muskingum counties. Stands are strategically placed to overlook both open and timbered properties, depending upon time of year, weather, deer activity and our clients’ preferences. Our holdings have lots of food and cover for whitetails, BEEFY ones, and we know best how to hunt each parcel.

This knowledge, along with our professional guides’ commitment to success, is why our customers hate to see our place in their rearview mirrors. Since 2010, the year we “went public,” BFO has boasted some of the highest opportunity-rates at record-book bucks in Ohio. Your shot awaits, and we at Brushy Fork Outfitters will do our best to put you in the right spot at the right time. Come see for yourself, and keep your taxidermist on notice.

The best hunting guides in Ohio

Bryan Dawes

, Owner

Outfitter Bryan Dawes, 41, can thank his grandfather for hooking him on hunting when Bryan was barely big enough to hoist a gun to his shoulder. And like many deer hunters, the Kentucky native eventually traded his firearm for a bow. Having used both weapons to let the air out of big bucks gives this guy an edge in selecting the best possible setups for clients of all stripes. In addition to hunting and guiding, Bryan has been involved with many different hunting shows on television, both in front of and behind cameras. He considers himself blessed to have hunted throughout North America, which has taught him valuable lessons in whitetail behavior. Rest assured that it is experience, not just theory, that governs optimal stand placement on the lands he manages. “I am very passionate about deer hunting, and I work very hard for my clients,” he says. “I will not rest until the tags are filled. When a client kills a great buck with us, I really do share the adrenaline rush.”
