Ohio’s young deer hunters make their shots count during two-day youth season

For the second year in a row, the younger set of hunters showed their adult peers how to shoot deer in Ohio.
During Ohio’s recently concluded two-day youth-only firearms deer hunting season, participants age 17 and under killed 10,449 animals. This take consisted of 6,042 antlered and 4,407 antlerless deer.
“That 10,449 figure is the second consecutive youth-only season that produced over 10,000, which was 15% above the 3-year average and about 5% more than 2023’s harvest of 10,033 deer,” Clint McCoy told Ohio Outdoor News.
