Well Ohio Wildlife Division is now planning to shorten fall season by three weeks. I speculate they got a lot of comments about fall hunting during the comment period on reducing the spring bag limit. I am a avid fall hunter, but I agree with this move. I would even go further and shorten it too just two weeks of open season. It used to be 6 weeks, now will be three. This will remove a lot of the opportunity kills by deer archery hunters. It makes more sense then a one gobbler spring bag limit with 4 weeks of season. I still am not sold there is a significant problem with our flock, but I am not privy to how the flock is doing state wide. I have read and heard a lot of comments from southern , SW and SE ohio say their flocks seem stable to good. State wide perhaps there is an issue but I am not seeing it here.
