Buddy called who lives on swan creek here in toledo. Says its swarming with carp. Headed to his place to find turtles every where. Not a single carp seen 30 - 40 turtles. Trying to find out if you can shoot them in ohio. They were snappers and soft shells.
Yes! From the regs........
ARCHERY ANGLERS may use bows of any weight pull. A fishing license is required. Longbows may be used to take bullfrogs, green frogs, snapping and softshell turtles, and forage fish. Crossbows may be used to take forage fish.
Crossbows are not legal for frogs & turtles, but longbows (including recurves & compounds) are!
