That was the message Mike Reynolds, administrator of wildlife management for the Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife, delivered to the Ohio Wildlife Council in April. The division is now in the process of drafting a management plan for the wild cats whose population in the state has increased dramatically over the last 20 or so years, according to Katie Dennison, furbearer biologist with the Division of Wildlife.

His conclusion came while reporting on a targeted deer removal effort on private and public lands in the DSA.
