Apply in July for Ohio’s controlled hunting opportunities
COLUMBUS — Applications for Ohio’s public land controlled hunting opportunities will be accepted beginning Saturday, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife. These hunts provide special chances for people to pursue deer, waterfowl, doves and more on public lands during the 2023-24 season. The application period is open for all hunters until July 31.
The Division of Wildlife as well as the Division of Parks and Watercraft host controlled hunts on select areas around Ohio. Hunts for adults, youth, mobility impaired and mentors with apprentices are available. Species-specific hunts include deer, waterfowl, dove, pheasant, squirrel and quail. Firearm and archery opportunities are available for some species.
Hunters may apply for controlled hunts by completing the application process online using Ohio's Wildlife Licensing System or via phone by calling 1-800-703-1928. There is $5.50 service fee for the phone option. Each hunt requires payment of a nonrefundable $3 application fee. Customers may apply for more than one hunt but can only apply to each hunt once per year.
All applicants, youth and adult, are required to possess a valid Ohio hunting license and meet age requirements. Those applying for deer hunts will also need a valid deer permit. Find more information at wildohio.gov on the controlled hunt page.
