August 2024 update from Ohio Division of Wildlife

Posted by Staff on August 7, 2024 - 6:00am

Northwest Ohio – Wildlife District Two
State Wildlife Officer Adam Stachler, assigned to Fulton County, received information that a wild turkey was game-checked one week after the spring turkey hunting season ended. Officer Stachler found that the hunter had harvested a turkey after the close of the south zone’s season. The individual was issued a citation and paid a $50 fine in addition to court costs.

State Wildlife Officer Matt D. Smith and Brock Williamson, assigned to Huron and Seneca counties, respectively, received a call from a kayaker that a bald eagle was caught in a trap on the banks of the Huron River. The officers hiked back to the river and located the eagle. Officer Smith crossed the river and safely captured the eagle. He removed the trap, assessed the eagle for injuries, and determined that the eagle would make a full recovery and could be immediately released.
