The debate over whether or not to continue to hold a ruffed grouse hunting season is over for now.
On Aug. 2, three members of the Ohio Wildlife Council, the rule-making arm of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, decided against holding a more restrictive season on grouse than the one held a year ago. What this means is that the Division of Wildlife will offer a grouse hunt this fall that runs Oct. 14 through Nov. 26 on public land and through Jan. 1, 2024, on private land. The bag limit is one bird per day.
