Hunters in Ohio checked more than 200,000 whitetails for the first time during the 2002 season.
Since the archery season’s start in late September, hunters in Ohio had killed 201,292 deer through Tuesday. And counting.
Almost 219,000 whitetails were checked in 2012. Yet until this season, a decade had passed since the 200,000 threshold was crossed. The last two seasons came close. Hunters in Ohio checked more than 200,000 whitetails for the first time during the 2002 season, which began a string of years in which the take was enormous by recent standards. Numbers increased to 237,316 in 2006, 252,017 in 2008 and peaked at 261,260 in 2009.
Deer permit sales have increased slightly to a little north of 400,000 in recent years, including 406,919 during the current season. Nevertheless, the decline in license and permit sales from the top sales years represents huge shortfalls in potential revenue. As for the muzzleloader hunt, the 13,617 deer checked bested the 2022 total of 12,912 and emphatically topped the three-year average of 11,429.
