HUNTERS ENCOURAGED TO APPLY ONLINE FOR OHIO’S
CONTROLLED DEER AND WATERFOWL HUNTS
Application deadline is Tuesday, July 31
 COLUMBUS,
OH - Hunters wanting to participate in Ohio’s fall controlled deer and
waterfowl hunts have until July 31 to submit permit applications for a
random drawing. Hunters can
submit their applications online at www.wildohio.com . The
application fee is $3 per hunt for those who apply online and $5 for
those who mail their applications. Application fees are
non-refundable.
These special hunts are held each fall on selected
public areas to provide additional hunting opportunities.
The early muzzleloader deer hunt is
October 22-27. Both adults and youths who are interested in
participating in this hunt must submit a controlled hunt application.
All hunters who apply by the deadline will receive a permit, indicating
whether the hunter can kill an antlered or antlerless deer. A majority
of the permits will be for antlerless deer.
Special deer hunts also are slated for:
 |
Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge (Lucas County), |

NASA/Plumbrook Station (Erie County), |
|
Ravenna Training & Logistics Site (Portage County), as well as the
|

In addition to
online submissions, paper applications can be obtained by calling

submitted applications and notified by U.S. mail in September. Only
