Deer-gun season opens with more than 22,000 deer harvested

COLUMBUS

Hunters checked 22,366 white-tailed deer Nov. 28, the opening day of Ohio’s deer-gun hunting season, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Ohio’s deer-gun season remains open through Sunday. Two additional days of deer-gun season (Dec. 16 and 17) have been added to increase the opportunity for people to hunt with firearms. Find more information about deer hunting in the 2017-18 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations or at wildohio.gov.

Past years’ harvest summaries and weekly updated harvest reports can be found at wildohio.gov/deerharvest.

The ODNR Division of Wildlife remains committed to properly managing Ohio’s deer populations. The goal of Ohio’s Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists.

Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related industries. Hunting has a more than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation publication.
