Ohio drought affects wildlife in various ways

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Ohio /

Ohioans finally got a much-needed shot of rain during the week of Sept. 23, but most of the state has been under severe drought conditions for much of the summer and early fall.
The Ohio DNR (ODNR) Division of Water Resources is urging the public to use water resources wisely due to the dry conditions across Ohio. The division is working with partners to monitor the ongoing impacts of drought across the entire state. Drought conditions can have varying effects on wildlife, says Kyle Casey, a wildlife communications specialist for the Division of Wildlife.

It’s a memory seared into Justin Lanclos’ memory and it is a lesson learned that he desperately wants to pass on to his fellow deer hunter.
He knows he’s lucky to be alive to tell the story.
In July 2016, Lanclos and his 9-year-old son Carter were hanging lock-on bowstands on their Louisiana property when something tragic happened.

The North Zone hunting dates for this season are Oct. 19 through Oct. 27 and again from Nov. 16 through Jan. 5, 2025. The start date in the North Zone is a week later this year after hearing constituent input, said Mike Ervin, a waterfowl biologist with the ODNR Division of Wildlife.

Diane Wantz, of Mentor, Ohio, is lucky. She’s been able to combine her passion for fly fishing and giving back to those men and women who have served in our Armed Forces.
Wantz is president of Patriots on the Fly, a new group in Ohio that describes itself as a “conduit to the world of fly fishing for disabled veterans.”
Wantz and her group of volunteers got to know one another through another national fly-fishing group and decided to branch off and form the non-profit Patriots on the Fly just for Ohio. The program began this May.
