Jeff Frischkorn: Ohio Division of Wildlife publishes expenditures for 2024

Managing all of Ohio’s fisheries resources – including Sandusky Bay's trophy-class channel catfish – is one of the wildlife division's most vital (and thus, expensive) necessary fiscal responsibilities. (Photo by Jeffrey L. Frischkorn)

The Ohio Division of Wildlife’s money tree is watered by the state’s anglers and hunters. Even the greenbacks from the federal government pour from funds supported in one fashion or another by sportsmen and sportswomen.
And for Fiscal Year 2024, the agency brought in $92,367,367 while spending $92,244,172. If that appears the wildlife division is cutting things close, it’s important to remember that year-to-year revenues and expenses are not always apples-to-apples identical, nor even close. To stave off being destitute and pleading “more gruel, please” the wildlife division squirrels away enough funds to anticipate projects and unexpected expenses.
