So I was scanning the DNR webpage today at work, since its bitter cold and windy here I can't climb any towers and consequently am crazy bored!!!!

Regardless this got me a bit excited, proposed changes for next seasons hunting regulations for the state of Ohio, now its not set in stone till they vote in March and early April but as it stands now for Spring Turkey the legal hunting hours are 1/2 hour before sunrise till noon; the change they want to enact is for '09 and '10 having the last two weeks of Spring Turkey be open from 1/2 hour before to 1/2 hour after...thats freaking awesome as my work schedule would severely inhibit my turkey hunting...not only that but for Fall Turkey 2 Northwest Ohio Counties are being opened, both of which I'm within an hour of...

I know this would mean nothing to those not in Ohio but for my fellow Ohioians...this is exciting!!!

All day spring season would be nice....

I wish they would open my county for turkey in the fall though. I hear them all the time anymore. See sign for them in the woods. Its just a matter of time before one comes close enough for a bow shot. Saw 40+ a couple years ago 50 yards out. Cool sight.

wow thats awesome i always wonderedwhy itended at noon seemed like a wierd time.

That would be really sweet for me because of school i can only hunt the weekends. And fall turkey season is great, This was the first year that it was open in medina county and a shot a jake with my bow.
