Some updates from DNR..

Archery season will run from Saturday, September 27 through Sunday, February 1, 2009.

This one is good and bad... We'll see..

Fall turkey hunters will enjoy expanded opportunities. They will be able to hunt the entire season, from October 11 through November 30, with a shotgun, muzzleloading shotgun, bow or crossbow. This new rule adds 35 days to the previous season for fall turkey gun hunting. Nine additional northeast Ohio counties will also be open for fall turkey hunting, bringing the total to 46 counties statewide.

Gun season(s)

Regular deer-gun season will run Monday, December 1 through Sunday, December 7.
The additional deer-gun hunting weekend is set for Saturday and Sunday, December 20 -21. Statewide muzzleloader season will run Saturday, December 27 through Tuesday, December 30. Special area muzzleloader hunts will be open Monday, October 20 through Saturday, October 25 at Salt Fork, Shawnee and Wildcat Hollow. Muzzleloader hunts at these areas will no longer require a special permit and hunters may use either deer permit for this hunt. The bag limit remains at one deer of either sex with any antlered deer harvested counting toward the one-buck yearly limit for the year.

RE: Ohio Hunters..

thanks! The second shotgun season is later this year than in previous years. Not sure how I will like that, but oh well. At least we have the second season and more time to hunt.

RE: Ohio Hunters..

Your season dates are terrific
Your bag limits outstanding
and your football team blows:D

RE: Ohio Hunters..

I am just guessing, but I doubt you will get any support here:D You can hunt in MI 15 days gun 21 days of Muzzleloader here in the SLP. I will hunt your place in Ohio for bow;)

RE: Ohio Hunters..

I just got done reading that e-mail myself. You got to love Ohio's bowseason and THE FOOTBALL TEAM!!!!!!!!!

RE: Ohio Hunters..

Yea i'm not so sure I like the fall turkey season being that long but we will see how that works out. The deer seasons really didn't change that much, just the dates at which they open and close. I have no problem with the Ohio bag limits and seasons after seeing Michigan's. Also after seeing MI's football team really makes me appreciate the SCARLET AND GREY!!!!

RE: Ohio Hunters..

Yeah I'm just a bit envious of those seasons. Are you limited time wise for turkey hunting or is it all day?

RE: Ohio Hunters..

Matt it is all day in the fall and only until noon in the spring. I don't care for the spring time limit but i can live with it.

First thing Amateur, gun season is prime time. archery season is only good becuase the deer aren't spooked by all the gunfire. Second do like most others and go buy a bow or a cross bow and go hunting. Whats the big reason you'll only take a gun? Is it you feel you can only get close enough to get a shot with a gun. Or you don't want to invest the time. You handle makes you sound like its the latter.

If you've never bowhunted before you should try it. It takes time to learn and get good at shooting. If your willing to invest a little time you can easily get good enough with a crossbow. Getting close takes a little but isn't to hard. You should try it and realize why 9 days for gun is probably OK. Bowhunting is much more satisfying anyway. You have to get close or you don't get a shot.

The main reason i stick to gun is i have no one to teach me the ins and outs of bow hunting, how to use it, how to do minor repairs and such. My dad gun hunts, all my friends gun hunt, my entire family gun hunts(most of them are out of state). I don't want to take a chance of my complete lack of knowledge about bows to wound an animal and suffer or cause me to miss a shot. I can live with the latter, i can't live with the first of the two.

RE: Ohio Hunters..

Sounds good....

What I would do for an early September opening day.... To be able to hunt summer feeding patterns [8D]

Thanks for the info...
