Kokosing River Outfitters

Kokosing River Outfitters has been running whitetail and turkey hunts in central Ohio for over a decade. The operation focuses on what they call "Guided Hunts Among Friends"—combining serious hunting with hospitality, good meals, and comfortable lodging.

• •Spring Turkey (mid-April to mid-May) — Morning hunts with calls and decoys
• •Early Archery (summer evenings) — Low-pressure hunting while bucks are in bachelor groups
• •The Rut (late October) — Peak season when big bucks are active and less cautious
• •Youth Hunts (weekend gun hunts) — Two-day trips designed for younger hunters
• •Late Season Archery (mid-December to January) — Evening hunts from heated blinds over corn
• •Muzzleloader (early January) — Four-day hunts with heated shooting houses

"Guided Hunts Among Friends" — thoughtful preparation, sustainable land management, expertise, and fireside conversations

The lodge provides comfortable accommodations and meals between hunts. Guides have deep knowledge of central Ohio deer behavior and seasonal patterns. Youth programs introduce new hunters to the sport in a structured environment.
