TIME TO PURCHASE OHIO HUNTING AND FISHING LICENSES
Licenses available statewide at more than 1,300 outlets
COLUMBUS, OH - Anglers and hunters are reminded that it’s time to purchase their 2006-2007 fishing and hunting licenses as last year’s licenses expired February 28. Licenses can be purchased at vendor outlets across the state and on the Internet at ohiodnr.com, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.
New licenses are valid March 1, 2006 through February 28, 2007. Hunters, especially those gearing up for the popular spring wild turkey season, are reminded that licenses purchased now are also valid during the 2006 fall hunting season.
Resident hunting and fishing licenses cost $19 each and deer and turkey permits are an additional $24 each. Hunters age 17 and under and some Ohio senior citizens are eligible for discounted licenses. A one-day Ohio fishing license costs $11, an amount that can later be applied to the purchase of an annual license. For a complete listing of license prices, please obtain a current copy of the Ohio Hunting Regulations, the Ohio Fishing Regulations or visit ohiodnr.com/wildlife
