I took it, not sure what it'll help, but I'd like to see pistol caliber rifles allowed in OHio.

took your poll , but don"t know if it will help? i think our odnr already has made up their mind on next regs. which is only to increase out of state license sells. they don"t give a crap about our thoughts on the up coming year. they have already screwed up deer hunting here in oh. odnr has released the 2011-2012 deer kill numbers @ 219798 which i found very hard to believe! our hunting party had only a 15 percent kill rate during gun season & only 1 of 30 guys shot a deer during muzzleloading season. alot of us are seeing less & less deer per year . starting to remind me of the late 70's or early 80's deer hunting. but starting to see more & more out of state license plates trying to locate the next world record buck in south east & south west ohio.

well today the odnr came out with it"s 2012-2013 proposals.everything seems to be the same except for 1 & seems to be a good one they are elimitnating the 15 dollar anterless permit for gun season in zone c. which would permit only 3 does instead of 6 does during gun week. i believe this will stop over kill in zone c & start to bring back deer sightings in zone c. they are destroying the deer herd here in ohio. i see more deer in the city in 1 day then i do all week during gun season.

Ohio needs to be careful not to do what PA did. PA killed off all the doe, and now the hunting is suffereing for it there. I bought a doe tag here in OH this year, but didn't end up taking a doe because I wasn't seeing the numbers I usually saw. Between increased tags and harder winters these last few years I figured they needed abreak.
