Ohio hunting season gets its start Sept. 1; here’s what to know

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, News, Ohio /

The time that hunters have been waiting on for six long months – or perhaps since the end of last deer season – is upon us.
Sept. 1 is the traditional kickoff of hunting season in the Buckeye State and this year is no different. Hunters may hunt doves and squirrels come Sept. 1 with dove hunting being a most popular pursuit among Buckeye wingshooters. The end of September, Sept. 30 to be exact, is when Ohio bowhunters may first go afield in search of deer.

Ohio Insider: Ohio Division of Wildlife law enforcement administrator hangs up his badge

Fishing, Hunting, Ohio, Opinion /

Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker called him her “rock” within the agency during a recent casual conversation I had with her.
Whom she was speaking of was Ken Fitz, the Division of Wildlife’s law enforcement administrator who recently hung up his badge after a 27 1⁄2-year career with the department. It’s been a long and winding road for the 60-year-old Fitz.

Can you distinguish a buck from a doe by the size of their droppings or scat?
The National Deer Association (NDA) jumped on that topic last month in its newsletter to members of the organization.
It works with wild turkeys and elk. In those cases, the pellets of males and females are distinguishable by their shape.

After much debate, Ohio’s grouse season a go in 2023, same as ’22

Featured, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

The debate over whether or not to continue to hold a ruffed grouse hunting season is over for now.
On Aug. 2, three members of the Ohio Wildlife Council, the rule-making arm of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, decided against holding a more restrictive season on grouse than the one held a year ago. What this means is that the Division of Wildlife will offer a grouse hunt this fall that runs Oct. 14 through Nov. 26 on public land and through Jan. 1, 2024, on private land. The bag limit is one bird per day.

Gov. Mike DeWine called Lake Erie “a high priority” during his short speech at the end of the 43rd annual Governor’s Fish Ohio Day.
