I dont see the state every allowing the .30-30 or any other bottle necks. If you want a flatter shooting straight wall look at the .38-55.



Actually that wouldnt be that bad if you got rid of the extra antlerless tags. Then lowered the tags to one either antler/anterless tag in the north half of the state. If not better than what we have now. Then have 1 either antler/antlerless and 1 antlerless in the southern half of the state. It would piss bow hunters off. But you could have the early season as bow only like north carolina does. Also restrict some public lands as bow only.

Plenty of options to make it happen. I’ve always like the idea of public land being Bow only. According to what all the history shows, as long as Ohio stays one buck only, all is good.

Keep urban areas bow only as well.

Personally, I like the idea of going with a quota style hunt for antlerless. Once said number of antlerless have been killed, no more antlerless can be taken in that area.
