As Ohio wildlife managers confront an unprecedented disease outbreak impacting the state’s whitetail herds, officials are considering a reduction in tags in a few of the most hard-hit counties.⁠ ⁠ An emergency rule proposed Tuesday by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources would reduce the current bag limit from three deer to two in Athens, Meigs, and Washington Counties. The ODNR’s Wildlife Division says the rule change is being proposed “due to the unprecedented severity of the Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease outbreak,” and to address concerns from Ohioans who’ve seen the impacts of the disease firsthand. Some are even asking the state to go further in limiting hunting opportunities. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #ohio #hunting #deerhunting #deerseason #EHD #huntingseason #huntingohio #whitetail #whitetailhunting #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Longspur Tracking⁠ Story by: dac.collins
