I wrote in this space about the current state of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Ohio in the July 3 issue.
There’s more meat on the bone, however, as the old saying goes. So, I offer some more information here gleaned from ODNR Division of Wildlife deer program administrator Clint McCoy during a recent interview.

Fourteen-year-old fisherman Jacob Chapman couldn’t resist the urge to try to catch a giant longnose gar when he spotted a school of them on Indian Creek in early June.
The section of Indian Creek Jacob was fishing runs through his home county of Butler. He was fishing for smallmouth bass when he noticed an unusual number of gar swimming nearby.

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) was detected in an additional 41 deer this past hunting season in Ohio, bringing the total since the first finding in 2020 to 115.
That information comes from ODNR Division of Wildlife deer program administrator Clint McCoy, whom I recently spoke to for an update on where things stand with CWD.

Jonathan Sorg has built his life around mentoring kids and adults in the sports of deer and turkey hunting. He is the wildlife federal aid coordinator for the ODNR Division of Wildlife, and he says it’s tough to separate his day job from his favorite hobbies, and that’s a good thing.

If you had visited Tappan Lake in northeast Ohio in late 2007 or 2008, you would have found a saugeye fishery that rivaled any in the state.
Fisheries, however, being cyclical in nature, turned the tides a bit on Tappan. After those heydey years in the early 2000s, saugeyes struggled to take hold.

The Lake Erie sauger population has been in the news recently and it certainly is a time of optimism on the big lake.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife in late May stocked the Maumee and Sandusky rivers with a total of nearly 130,000 fingerling saugers as part of a larger plan to invigorate the species in Lake Erie. The obvious question then is will the sauger compete with the lake’s robust walleye population for vital resources?
After Eunice Koebel retired from a 31-year career as an elementary music teacher, she was looking for something to do – a hobby if you will.
Koebel, Fremont born and raised, is a graduate of Fremont Ross High School, Bowling Green State University, and the University of Toledo.
“When I retired in 2007, that’s when I kind of got started with photography,” she said.
