Deer Management, Special Hunts & Fall Season Opening

Ohio's planned refrigerated-trailer program will support venison donations, antlerless harvest, and CWD testing in response to deer overpopulation, habitat damage, and declining hunter participation. The Sheepskin Hollow antlerless-only lottery meeting is Aug. 16, and the broader fall hunting season opens Sept. 1; local trailer coverage and current access rules remain important to Carroll-area landowners.
