LAND FOR SALE IN MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO

There’s a little excitement in my voice with this one. Looking over ODNR maps, there’s some disappointment about EHD in other parts of Meigs County—but the good news is this tract has not shown signs of the dreaded disease. Walking the property, I noticed a long stream with no odor or sign of deer loss. That alone was encouraging to the best of my knowledge.

Earlier this summer, I had an unforgettable encounter. Out of the tall grass, a good size whitetail rose just ten yards from me. At first glance, he shook me and gave me that first rush of the season. I grabbed a few quick pictures before he bounded off. After piecing them together, I’d say he was a heavy 8-point scoring approximately 130 plus gross inches on the Boone & Crockett or Ohio Big Buck standard, with impressive brow tines. The landowner also shared photos of backyard bucks, including a full bachelor group from years past. Hunting here carries history that the locals know well—and if we talk sometime, I’ll share one of those stories with you. It’s a dandy.

LOCATION & TERRAIN

• This property sits in what I will call the “Bradbury Square,” lying between Bradbury on State Route 124 and State Route 7, it is just one big block of woods. The area is known for strong deer numbers, and the land reflects the diversity of the terrain with a flat creek bottom along Thomas Fork, a rocky steep grade, and a level ridgetop plateau. The property is split into two sections: top and bottom. Access between them is limited, but there are possibilities. The neighboring owner has expressed openness to discussing an easement or selling additional acreage to improve accessibility.
• There is road frontage, but no bridge is currently in place to cross Thomas Fork.
• You are a straight shot to Athens, Ohio as this property nearly sets at the corner of State Route 124 and State Route 7 it makes for an easy commute, just South of US 33.

TIMBER & WILDLIFE HABITAT

On the bottom land you’ll find mature hardwoods of mixed species. The top section was previously timbered and is now regenerating with thick growth ideal for bedding cover. While walking through, I observed many rabbits, which shows the property also supports strong small-game habitat alongside the whitetail population.
