Northwest Ohio – Wildlife District Two 

In October, State Wildlife Officer Ryan Burke, assigned to Hancock County, and State Wildlife Officer Matt D. Smith, assigned to Huron County, patrolled Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area during the early white-tailed deer gun hunting season. The officers noticed a parked vehicle with gun cases in the cab. They contacted the hunter, who had harvested a doe, and discovered the hunter had purchased a deer management permit after the harvest. The hunter was issued a summons for attaching or using a tag on a deer that was taken before the permit was purchased. The defendant paid $170 in fines and court costs in Upper Sandusky Municipal Court.
