OHIO FALL TURKEY HUNTING SEASON UNDERWAY
479 Birds Harvested During First Five Days of Season
COLUMBUS, OH - Hunters killed 479 wild turkeys during the first five days of Ohio’s fall wild turkey hunting season, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. The season opened on October 14 and will run through October 29.
Last year, hunters killed a total of 475 birds in the same time period.
Wild turkeys can be hunted in 37 counties during the fall season. The archery-only portion of the fall turkey season, introduced in 2002, will begin October 30 and run through November 26. More than 21,000 hunters pursued wild turkeys in Ohio last fall.
Fall wild turkey hunting hours are a half hour before sunrise to sunset. The bag limit is one turkey of either sex per hunter, per season. A fall turkey permit is required in addition to a current Ohio hunting license. All turkeys killed must be taken to an official turkey checking station by 8 p.m. on the day of harvest.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife reminds hunters that the season will partially overlap the Early Muzzleloader Deer Hunting Season (October 23-28) on three state-owned areas: Wildcat Hollow in Perry and Morgan counties, Salt Fork Wildlife Area in Guernsey County, and Shawnee State Forest in Scioto County. Turkey hunting will not be allowed on these areas during the muzzleloader deer hunting season.
EDITORS NOTE: THE CHART SHOWS A LIST OF WILD TURKEYS CHECKED AND TAGGED THROUGH WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18. A FINAL TALLY WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE CLOSE OF THE SEASON.
