Why?? We have over 500,000 more deer hunters that are armed with HIGH POWERED RIFLES and more and longer Firearm seasons, compared to OH. gun hunters having to use shot guns and ML.'s and shorter firearm seasons. Also as any hunter know's a deer's weakness is HUNTING PRESSURE, and forcing them to be up on their feet during daylight hours is the easiest way to kill them. And our additional 500,000 + deer hunters can create a heck of a lot of hunting pressure! Yet we can only manage to harvest 48,000 + more deer? Are you kidding me? Pike
