Department of Natural Resources (ODNR)
DIVISION OF WILDLIFE PROVIDES MANY YOUTH HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES
COLUMBUS, OH – Ohio's youth hunters now have several
added opportunities to learn and practice their hunting skills this fall.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife is
offering expanded ways for families to hunt together and to create lasting
traditions in the state’s outdoors.
| SMALL GAME: |
Hunters age 17 and younger may hunt
for rabbit, pheasant and all other legal game in season during two
designated weekends, October 20-21 and October 27-28 statewide. Quail
may also be taken in open counties.
Pheasant releases for young hunters will occur prior to these dates on
the following state wildlife areas: Resthaven, Oxbow, Berlin, Killdeer
Plains, Camp Belden, Grand River, Spencer, Wellington, Delaware,
Dillon, East Fork, Caesar Creek, Rush Run, Fallsville and Darke - and
at the Charlemont Metropark in Lorain County. |
| WHITE-TAILED DEER: |
A youth deer-gun season will be open
statewide, November 17- 18. Young hunters age 17 and younger who are
accompanied by a non-hunting adult may take one deer of either sex
during this season, in accordance with existing bag and deer zone
limits. |
| WILD TURKEY: |
It is not too early to be planning to
participate in the spring youth wild turkey hunting for 2008. A
statewide spring youth wild turkey season will be offered on Saturday
and Sunday, April 19-20. This hunt is open to youths age 17 and
younger. |
| CONTROLLED HUNTS: |
The Division of Wildlife offers
several controlled hunts for young hunters throughout the hunting
season. Applications to participate in these hunts are accepted June 1
through July 31. Applications are available at district offices and on
the division’s Web site and may be completed by mail or online. There
are controlled youth hunts for white-tailed deer, wild turkey and
waterfowl. |
All young hunters must be accompanied by a non-hunting
adult, and must abide by all regular hunting hours and bag limits. A valid
2007-08 youth hunting license, along with the appropriate permits, are
required. For complete details on all of Ohio’s youth hunting seasons,
refer to 2007-2008 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations booklet, call
