Gino the increased tags issued by the ODNR. is only expected to harvest an additional 10,000 deer per year. The ODNR.'s Target Goal of 560,000 whitetail deer is still their target goal and has been since I been hunting in OH. The ODNR's target goal has not changed, but some years the ODNR, has reduced the amount of tags because of harvesting too many deer the previous year(s) and some years they increase them because of not harvesting enough deer the previous year(s).
