PHEASANTS TO BE RELEASED AT 29 PUBLIC HUNTING AREAS STATEWIDE
COLUMBUS, OH - More than 15,000 ring-necked pheasants will be released on 29 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 October 19 and 26 (both Fridays) in anticipation of the following weekends’ small-game season for youth hunters. Releases will also take place on the evenings of November 1 and 9, a Thursday and Friday. The final release of the fall is scheduled for Wednesday, November 21, to increase pheasant hunting opportunities during the Thanksgiving weekend.
Pheasant hunting season opens Friday, November 2 and remains open through January 6, 2008, with a daily bag limit of two rooster (male) birds. Statewide hunting hours are sunrise to sunset.
