Ohio’s spring turkey season is now in the books, so it’s time to put a bow on this year’s hunt.
As usual, I contacted Mark Wiley, the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s (DOW) lead turkey biologist, to get the rundown on the season from the DOW’s perspective. The resident turkey permit success rate was 26.5% of all those resident hunters who purchased a permit. That compares to 20.9% in 2022 and 18.9% in 2021.
