Young Ohio Hunters Bag Over 10,000 Deer In Two Days

December 12, 2007

Two Young Hunters with Their DeerWith over 40,000 young Ohioans age 17 and under taking to the woods for deer last weekend, they bettered last seasons total deer harvest considerably. Last year during the youth only weekend, hunters took 8,811 deer. Last weekend the kids reaped a total harvest of 10,515.

Youngsters participating in the deer hunt could use shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns, and bows. They had to be licensed, wear the property hunter orange safety clothing and be accompanied by a qualifying, non-hunting adult.

What’s great about this program is the kids could take one deer of either sex and still be eligible to participate in the upcoming state-wide deer-gun season that runs from November 26 - December 2.

Congratulations to all those successful hunters and good luck in the upcoming deer hunt.
