The official regulations have the final word
These dates come from rows a person checked against the Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife's regulations, but bag limits, licences, draws, legal hours and closures are set there and can change during the season. Read them before you hunt.
HuntGrid isn't affiliated with the Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife. A season shows here only once a person has checked it; others may exist.
