| Deer gun season now underway through Sunday - but comes back for a second round later. |

Deer gun season is underway, with some 400,000 hunters expected to take aim at Ohio's deer population, estimated at 675,000. Lindsay Deering with the Ohio Division of Wildlife says this first round of the season runs through December 2, but then a second two-day round of hunting begins on December 15.
Though some might oppose the idea of hunting, Deering says it's necessary.
Deering says hunters are well-prepared before putting on their blaze orange - they have to take a 12-hour classroom course and pass a test before they are issued a hunting license. And Deering says hunters can start as early as they like.
Deering estimates as many as 200,000 deer will be harvested this year, by gun hunters as well as those using muzzleloaders and bows. The state says gun season brings $266 million into the Ohio economy. That includes everything from permits to meals and hotel rooms for hunters. |
