Antlerless permit added to Ohio’s 2024 firearms deer season in attempt to increase doe harvest

Ohio’s deer management authorities expect the overall harvest to be about 10% higher than it was last year due to simple deer population dynamics.
Last year’s overall harvest checked in right around 213,000 deer, so a 10% increase this year would put Ohio hunters in the neighborhood of a quarter million deer being harvested.
“A lot of that will depend on the weather,” said Mike Tonkovich, the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s deer project administrator.
