The Ohio Wildlife Council is weighing proposals on ruffed grouse and wild turkey hunting seasons and limits.
Typically, hunting proposals travel a path from acceptance to implementation that is smooth, straight and unencumbered. This year’s trail comes with a twist.
Among council duties, the Ohio Revised Code states, is to “investigate, consider, and make recommendations in all matters pertaining to the protection, preservation, propagation, possession, and management of wild animals throughout the state.” Deference to division wishes does make sense. Division biologists, many holding doctorates and other advanced degrees, bring a high level of expertise to the proposals they make on wildlife management.
One prickly item this year involves ruffed grouse, once numerous in southeastern Ohio but these days difficult to find, let alone hunt.
