Tom Fetter Memorial Youth Day in Ohio draws 100 kids to learn about hunting

Hunting, News, Ohio /

This is exactly what the late Tom Fetter had in mind when he helped create the Waldo Sportsman’s Club fall youth event eight years ago.
The Tom Fetter Memorial Youth day drew in 100 kids in mid-November for a day of hunting, learning, and overall camaraderie, said Adam Fetter, Tom’s son and the president of the Waldo Sportsman’s Club. The elder Fetter passed away in 2021.

Years of patience pays off with massive Halloween buck for Ohio bowhunter Matt Groeschel

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

It was a five-year odyssey of twists and turns that led bowhunter Matt Groeschel to his 29-point Halloween buck in Marion County, Ohio, this fall.
Groeschel, who lives near Indian Lake but hunts in Marion County, had been following the buck through trail camera photos since 2018.
“Back then, he was just a mainframe eight, just clean but he had some mass to him,” Groeschel told Ohio Outdoor News just before Thanksgiving. “But it was one of those deer that you could look at the frame and know that in a couple of years he was going to be something special.”

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

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, even if no one is listening: Fracking in Ohio’s state parks is a bad, terrible idea.
At issue is a recent decision by the Ohio Oil and Gas Land Management Commission that allows fracking for natural gas on public lands, namely those owned by the Ohio DNR and Ohio Department of Transportation.

It is common knowledge among deer hunters that whitetail movement is largely driven by food.
Therefore, acorns make up a large part of the whitetail diet. To learn more about acorn production and how it affects deer behavior, University of Florida researcher Kelsey Demeny undertook a two-year study of oak trees to determine which oaks produced the most mast and how whitetails behaved around them.

Ohio Insider: State seeks more protections for the right to hunt, fish, and trap

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Hunting, Ohio, Opinion /
