PHEASANTS TO BE RELEASED AT
28 PUBLIC HUNTING AREAS STATEWIDE
COLUMBUS, OH - More than 15,000 ring-necked pheasants will be released on 28 public hunting areas across the state this fall, as part of a seasonal effort by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife to enhance hunting opportunities for this popular game bird.
Ring-necked pheasants will be released on the evenings (after shooting hours) of October 22nd and 29th in anticipation of the weekends’ small-game season for youth hunters. Releases will also take place on the evenings of November 4th and 12th. The final release of the fall is scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, November 24th to increase pheasant hunting opportunities during the Thanksgiving weekend.
Although not listed in the 2010-2011 hunting regulations, pheasants will be released for the youth hunts on October 22nd and 29th on the Ringneck Ridge and Tiffin River Wildlife Areas. Hunters interested in hunting the Ringneck Ridge Area in Sandusky County will require a free permit from the Sandusky County Park District. For more information regarding the issuance of these free hunting permits, contact the Sandusky County Park Office at 419/334-4495 or the Sandusky County Park District Ranger Office at 419/637-2900.
Pheasant hunting season opens Friday, November 5th and remains open through January 9th, 2011, with a daily bag limit of two rooster (male) birds. Statewide hunting hours are sunrise to sunset.
