ok so i looked more into and it turns out that newt oliver road is actually less than 1 mile from the farm i hunt outside of sarahsville!!!!! the public land you are speaking of is wolf run state park........so i am very familar with the land you are speaking off........oliver road is off of haleys ridge road and i personally saw 4 years ago on a friends farm on haleys ridge a 160 class 10 and a 2 140ish 8s all running through a field(there was smaller bucks and does) now this was opening day of gun season and my friend wouldnt me take a shot because he had cattle in the field but they all ran in the direction of newt olivers...... now im sure they are all dead by now, but that would havebeen some damn good seed they ould have been spreading to the does!!!!! tons and tons of deer with high potential of trophys run all over wolf run and not alot of people hunt it..... kinda small public land and not many places to park tend tokeep them away and more towards AEP in belle valley and B&N coal land around summerfield. hopes this help if you wanna know more just ask me.....ask newt if he knows JC Slevin... thats the farm i hunt

I hunted in the Summerfield area last fall. Didn't have much luck. Seems the deer population is down in that area from year's past..
several of the folks I talked to in that area seemed to think the numbers are really down...
