    Muzzleloader season length

    I've been through pretty much all the rules in the OAC on hunting and trapping and I don't recall seeing anything like that. It's possible there's something in the ORC but I doubt it. I can definitely believe it if it was for migratory birds because of the fed issues.

    Muzzleloader season length

    Probably what the matchlock guys thought too. Personally I just try to have my tags filled before muzzleloader season starts. I kinda would like it back starting on the 27th as kids and most people are on vacation anyways. Two years in a row I had to fill a tag during muzzie season. Before...

    Ohio Bobcats

    It's not a horrible estimate, the error thing has to do more the randomness of kitten production.

    Nuisance Trapping

    Yes the long straight tunnels are the ones to target. The zigzaggy ones should be ignored unless you have plenty of time and extra traps https://www.wildlifecontrolsupplies.com/removal/MoleControl.html

    Nuisance Trapping

    Thinf us you can get professional grade mole traps for roughly the same price, or even cheaper and they're more versatile. You're kinda limited to surface tunnels only with those which aren't always the best tunnels to catch miles in because they're often single use.

    Trap line gun

    I use a little badger 22 on the line. I wouldn't use a semi auto rifle or pistol because unless you're using full power cartridges, you'll have jamming issues running shorts or CBs

    DEER LIMIT CHANGE

    Anyone under the current limit is fine. Once dec 1 hits, your done in the county , assuming they were taken in the affected counties. Your state limit doesn't change. They can't retroactively go back on anyone that took over the old limit. I'm sure many would of liked dow to of moved that date...

    ODNR

    I'm sure it could be. It requires a law change though.

    ODNR

    Any branch other than the DoW, that's part of the ODNR, is all funded by the taxpayer. So it doesn't really matter which branch that the money comes from as it can be moved around within the department. Wildlife Council doesn't have anything to do with the ODNR outaide of Division of Wildlife so...

    ODNR

    The merger was done under the fake libertarian Kasich. The.Ohio State Trappers association, Sportsman's Alliance, Ohio Conservation Federation and a few others spent a lot of time and money to make sure that the DoW didn't get folded In with with Parks.
