Ohio’s fall wild turkey harvest lags behind at midpoint

“Near the halfway point of the 2024 fall wild turkey season, our issuance of fall permits stands at just over 5,170. Last year, the (Ohio DNR) issued a total of 6,749 fall permits,” said Mark Wiley, forest game biologist for the Ohio Division of Wildlife. (Stock photo)

At about the midpoint in Ohio’s revamped fall wild turkey hunting season, the statistics are strongly suggesting a decline in the number of birds shot.
However, the drop cannot be blamed on fewer wild turkeys out there. Just the opposite, in fact. Credit – or blame – the declining number of hunters seeking turkeys when the autumn leaves begin to turn color and cooler temperatures arrive.
