DEER HUNTERS HEAD TO THE WOODS FOR THE START OF OHIO’S ARCHERY SEASON
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Hunters have their first opportunity to pursue white-tailed deer during the 2020-2021 archery season when it opens on Saturday, Sept. 26, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Approximately 375,000 people hunt deer in Ohio, making it the most sought-after animal in the state.
“Ohio hunters can expect another fantastic year of deer hunting,” said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker. “We have some additional public land hunting opportunities and welcome all hunters. In addition, the new HuntFish OH mobile app provides hunters more flexibility to report their harvest, and offers additional resources while people are in the field. We are looking forward to another safe and successful season.”
Ohio’s 2020-2021 deer seasons include:
During the 2019-2020 deer season, 184,468 deer were reported harvested by hunters, including 80,138 bucks. The 10 counties in Ohio with the highest deer harvest last season were: Coshocton (6,715), Tuscarawas (5,781), Ashtabula (4,949), Muskingum (4,929), Licking (4,878), Knox (4,746), Guernsey (4,524), Holmes (4,507), Carroll (3,843), and Trumbull (3,668).
During the 2019-2020 season, landowners reported harvesting 51,924 deer, about 28% of the total harvest. The proportion of the landowner harvest has increased substantially from 1995, when it was 19%, and has remained between 26-28% of the total harvest since 2005.
In Ohio, hunters may take only one antlered deer regardless of location or method of take. Deer limits are determined by county, and hunters cannot exceed a county limit. Deer hunting hours are 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes past sunset for all deer seasons. Additional details and requirements for deer hunting are contained in the 2020-2021 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations booklet, available where licenses are sold or at wildohio.gov.
Hunters are reminded that only one antlerless deer may be taken from Ohio’s public hunting areas per license year. In addition, from Dec. 7, 2020, through Feb. 7, 2021, no antlerless deer may be taken from public hunting areas in Ohio, excluding controlled hunts. A list of public hunting areas can be found at wildohio.gov.
The Division of Wildlife remains committed to carefully managing Ohio’s deer population through a combination of regulatory and programmatic changes. The goal of Ohio’s Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists.

I'm hoping a 7 year old girl is the first TOOzer to initiate an IKS thread.
I’ve done nothing but knock the cobwebs off my bow and shoot 1/2 dozen arrahs at my deer target at 20 and 30 yards with my bro to check if it still on and happy to see I’m still drilling em in the pocket. Lost my local spot due to sale and haven’t had time to knock on some doors or make some calls for permission yet so no stands erected yet either. Clothes haven’t been washed or smoked yet either, dang
Oh, I still gotta buy my license and tag since I didn’t get out to chase turkeys this spring. Lol
Oh well, I’ll get around to it here before long. This is the most behind I’ve EVER been! Thanks 2020!!!!
