Was reading the recent issue of Ohio Outdoor News and looks like there may be some changes in 2010. They want to save money andstate that they currently spend 8 million on license's dispensing units. They admit that is not hunters dollars well spent. Sotheywill require license sellers to provide there own equipment and allow them to charge up to one dollar for doing so. Part of that catch is if you sell license you must also check in deer.They do not say why, assume maybe they figure there will be less check in stations, but they will offer "remote" check in for deer, which will be online based through the DNR's website. It does not say if online will be archery only or open to gun, would assume it will be archery only since they are really strict during gun around my area. Just wander how much poaching this will open up, looks like a lot more wifes and grandparents will be checking in deer!
Just curious if anyone else heard about this. Ohio Outdoor New is a newspaper based bi-weekly print of Ohio hunting and fishing. I used to get Ohio Game and fish, but that is written by people IMO that know very little about hunting and sometimes I think they get there info from theDNR's web site.OON has great stories written by local people and lots more info in it from the DNR.
