Youth hunters age 17 and under checked 1,823 birds during the special two-day hunt last weekend, a 65.3% increase from last year.
The 30-day spring turkey season opened Saturday in 83 counties, including all of central Ohio. The season lags by a week in five northeastern counties.
Numbers notwithstanding, youth hunters age 17 and under got the season off to a quick start by checking 1,823 birds during the special two-day hunt last weekend. Anyone age 18 and older who intends to legally hunt waterfowl and migratory birds in Ohio come fall must hold a 2023 Ohio Wetlands Habitat Stamp. The stamps, available for purchase, feature a rendering of three gadwalls by Jeffrey Klinefelter of Michigan.
More than $11 million has been generated for wetlands conservation through sales of the stamps since 1982. Aside from hunters, stamps are purchased by collectors and folks who simply want to help conserve habitat that benefits plants and animals that can’t do without.The inland waters of Ohio hold an array of catchable fish, some especially prized for their feistiness on a line.
Based on the number of Fish Ohio pins awarded last year by the Ohio Division of Wildlife for big saugeye, crappie and largemouth, central Ohio holds several impoundments that offer opportunities to make a nice catch.
