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

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

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.

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

Filled 2 tags before 10 today. Just fried tenderloins of 1. Rest of the deer are on fridge camp Only heard one other shot in gallia

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...

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

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...

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.

Coyotes were never that prevalent in my part of the state. Though I did have a group howling behind my house lady might. It inhad a thermal I probably could of popped one or two from my porch. Have been seeing more fox lately not a lot but at least I'm seeing them

Drought maps easy to search. 2023 didn't really didn't have much in the way of drought.

Just reading a study that that suggests that with our warmer weather the deer that survived EHD and still infected, the new adult midges that popup can continue the cycle of transmission by biting infected deer and keep spreading it. It appears the virus doesn't directly pass from adult midges...

There's other factors that come into play , especially timing. This year happened to be very wet around prime time for the midge's breeding season then the drought hit at the right time to drive deer to water.

Got a have mud to make midges. Not every water way will make mud. Lot of rocky creek, ponds and lakes around here.

This is the worst ehd outbreak that I can remember. I'm just outside the worst of it but my area has been largely spared, just now getting a few kills reported. Southern part of my county been hit hard the last few outbreaks but nowhere near what Athens and meigs are seeing now.
