What can Ohio deer hunters expect in 2026? Plenty more deer on the landscape

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

One thing is for certain about the upcoming fall archery deer hunt: There should be no shortage of deer on the Ohio landscape from which hunters can choose.
That’s the early word from Clint McCoy, the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s deer program administrator, who sat for an interview with Ohio Outdoor News in late July.
“Really any deer hunter this year can expect a continuation of what we’ve been seeing over the past couple of years,” he said. “And that’s more deer on the landscape.”

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, Ohio, Opinion /

When the calendar turns to August, we typically start shifting our attention somewhat to the upcoming fall deer season.

We have had plenty of whitetail coverage in recent issues of Outdoor News. And, don’t miss our early archery season preview with Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife Deer Program Administrator Clint McCoy in the Aug. 28 issue. For purposes of writing in this space, I listened to one of the National Deer Association’s (NDA) Deer Season 365 podcasts for a primer on the fall hunt.

For redears and bass, Nimisila Reservoir is a solid bet in northern Ohio

Lake Profile, Lake Profile, Ohio /

Many of Ohio’s inland lakes that were once stocked with walleyes today have more saugeyes swimming in their waters.
The theory is that the sauger-walleye hybrids survive better in turbid water conditions and they can be produced relatively easily in Ohio hatcheries. Therefore, many lakes that were once stocked annually with walleyes have now been transformed into saugeye fisheries. But, Nimisila Reservoir in northeast Ohio has experienced just the opposite effect over the past couple of decades, but for different reasons.

Featured, Home Page News, Nature Page & Night Sky, Ohio, Opinion /

If I were putting together a book on wildlife and conservation, I couldn’t pick a better writer in our own Steve Pollick and photographer Art Weber.
I profiled Weber recently in the Outdoor Trailblazer section. And, you’re well familiar with Pollick’s work with him having been a columnist with Ohio Outdoor News since our beginning in 2005.

Ohio’s Outdoors Trailblazers: Art Weber’s career due to series of ‘happy accidents’

Featured, Fishing, Nature Page & Night Sky, Ohio /

Art Weber never had to leave his native Toledo to practice an award-winning career in outdoor photography and journalism.
“I grew up along the Maumee River,” he said recently. “We couldn’t afford the land right on the river, but I was in the communities right next to it … I just kind of grew up stomping around in nature, looking for salamanders and fishing a little bit. So, nature has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.”

Lake Erie’s incredible walleye fishery at the present time is well-documented. The real question is: Can it get any better?
To answer that query, Ohio Outdoor News turned to Travis Hartman, the Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife’s Lake Erie program administrator.
“I think the data would suggest that (walleye fishing) has never been better,” Hartman said.
