Ohio hunters take 19,251 white-tailed deer during statewide muzzleloader season

 

COLUMBUS, OH - Hunters took 19,251 deer during Ohio's muzzleloader season, January 7-10, with Coshocton County again leading the state with 722 deer checked.   In 2011, a preliminary total of 16,934 deer were taken during muzzleloader season.

Counties reporting the highest number of deer checked during the muzzleloader season included: Coshocton-722, Licking-639, Muskingum-638, Guernsey-612, Tuscarawas-581, Belmont-577, Harrison-569, Knox-470, Meigs-466, and Jefferson-465.

In Southwest Ohio, the largest total this year was Adams County, with 336.  The heaviest totals in the state are generally in the areas with the most hills and the least people, which favors rural southeast Ohio.  Among counties containing Ohio's 6 large cities, (Cuyahoga-Cleveland, Franklin-Columbus, Hamilton-Cincinnati, Lucas-Toledo, Montgomery-Dayton, and Summit-Akron), Hamilton County, which is the hilliest, had the most deer taken, at 89.
