This special hunt allowed the use of firearms in Hardin, Wyandot, and Marion counties. In all, 668 deer were shot in the three-county area Oct. 7 through Oct. 9, a figure which represents only a 0.5% increase over the 2022 hunt. However, the kill was not expressed in uniformity over the three counties, said Robert Ford, the wildlife management supervisor for the Ohio Division of Wildlife’s District Two (Northwest Ohio) field office.
