Keep Ohio’s coyote season open

[Jackalope]

In an effort to bring this to the forefront and not buried in a thread please sign the below petition to keep a the Ohio coyote season open and not require the purchase of a further permit.

It was recently sent to the Ohio wildlife counsel as a proposed regulation change to run the coyote season inline with that of fox and close it the remainder of the year. It was also requested that people trapping and shooting coyotes should be required to purchase a fur taker permit.

Please not only sign the petition but also share it on your social media pages.

No. Dude that comment section is rolling. I signed it at 7k some odd and it's now over 11k a few hours later. Up over 175 in the last 18 minutes.

In 2018 only 13,864 people purchased a fur taker permit. So OSTA can't have too much support for this. The petition is now at 11,540

Does this include coyote hunting? Why would they want to have a closed season?

 

[Jackalope]

Just a fun number. This petition is at almost 23k signatures. There were only 13k fur permits sold in Ohio last year. Less that 4.8k had trapping endorsements.

Just had one nose to nose with my retrievers through the fence. Sadly, after I shined the light on it to see what they were barking at it ran off so no chance at a shot.

 

[Jackalope]

Over 24,300 now.

Think it'll actually do anything? Or will they ignore it?

Just saw on the internet that Ohio scrapped the changes for the coyote season for this year....said they needed more studies/input.

I heard it was "paused" aka tabled, and that they will likely resubmit a new proposal this summer. Not completely scrapped, or at least not for now. Good to hear that public comment was taken into consideration for the time being.

paused/tabled = resubmit same proposal in middle of summer when nobody is paying attention. less backlash this way. ODNR has proven time and again with their actions that sportsman's input means practically nothing to their policy making.

From what I read it was the farm bureau or whatever that made it happen.

I received an email update that this has been pulled off the table. Good job everyone.
