The Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife hosted sportsmen at the Ohio State Fair to celebrate the 75th birthday of the agency and to catch up with friends, talk about fishing, hunting, trapping, and conservation.
ODNR Director Mary Mertz was in attendance, along with chiefs of several other divisions, plus Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Brian Baldridge. Much of the conversation consisted of current fishing trips along with anticipation of the fall hunting and trapping seasons.
