The population of Chillicothe is 21,698 people. Think about that folks.

Makes me wonder what the private vs public land numbers are. I’d be interested in knowing that for both parties.

I think those are the numbers of who comes to Ohio. That’s how I read that anyways.
Curious what it was in 2018? I know some people who chose NOT to hunt Ohio this year due to increase in costs. I know I won't be buying a turkey tag. Price increases could very well have reduced our number

Looks like they lost quite a bit of money this year at the ODOW. Add additional losses to that due to the federal pitman robinson match that will be lost.
Appears as though they didn't succeed in balancing the revenue loss of their herd decimation program on the backs of hunters. Not did straight walled rifles spurr opportunity leading to increased revenue like they thought.
Maybe they should go ask state farm and nationwide for some of their hundreds of millions of dollars in retained profits they saved because of the the herd reduction.

Some more data,,, I have more, but I have to find it around here someplace...
Hope you can see this okay...

White-tailed Deer Population Analysis
The ODW is responsible for the management of resident, protected wildlife species, including deer. ODW collects and compiles information on white-tailed deer population trends and uses this information to manage deer populations. Over the past several years, the annual hunter harvest has ranged from 191,503 to 260,261 deer with an average of 225,979 deer harvested per year.
The ODW issues deer damage control permits (DDCPs) to landowners to resolve damage problems. Over the period of 2009-2014, ODW issued an annual average of 1,408 deer damage control permits (range 1,135-1,893 permits/year) to landowner/managers to help address problems with damage to agriculture (ODW 2013). These permits resulted in the average annual removal of 6,555. In general, deer removal under DDCPs to alleviate agricultural damage is conducted/managed by the landowner. Instances where WS is requested to provide assistance with deer removal to resolve agricultural damage (e.g., crop damage) are rare. WS is more likely to become involved in deer removals to protect agricultural resources in situations where there is a risk of disease transmission between deer and livestock (e.g., TB). In these situations, WS could be requested to assist with capture and sampling of deer, or removal of deer from a select area where the disease has been detected (see below).
In addition to issuing DDCPs to resolve agricultural damage, the ODW issues DDCPs to parks and in urban/suburban areas to help resolve problems with natural resource, property damage and other problems associated with high local deer populations. These areas tend to be locations where use of hunting to reduce deer numbers has been ruled out because of factors such as community and/or landowner concerns regarding safety, conflicts with other site uses, or security requirements for the site associated with traditional hunting methods. Data on the exact number of deer taken per year under these permits is not available, but is estimated to be approximately 3,000 deer per year. This is the type of damage management situation where WS typically receives a request for assistance with deer removal.
The number of deer removed by WS, removed by non-WS personnel under permits issued by the ODW, and harvested by hunters in Ohio is illustrated in Table 3 (ODW 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014). The maximum number of deer removed by WS in any those years was 305 deer. WS defines magnitude as a measure of the number of animals lethally removed in relation to their abundance. Using the harvest data and the potential annual lethal removal of up to 3,000 deer by WS, the magnitude is considered low for WS’ proposed deer removal.
