Thanks to Glenn Welch for notifying the group about the Darke County
Greenville CBC on Dec. 17.

 

For those who may not be aware, the Ohio Division of Wildlife, over the
objections of Audubon Ohio, decided to extend deer season to include the
weekend of Dec. 16 and 17.  This means that those in the field for CBC
that weekend need to be extra careful in terms of where they go, what
they do and what kind of clothing they wear.

 

The League of Ohio Sportsmen has expressed an interest in working with
Audubon Ohio to do outreach to educate the public about the extension of
deer season and its implication for the first weekend of CBC.  We are
discussing the details with them.  Although we objected to the extension
of deer season to this weekend, now that it has occurred we feel it is
appropriate to do what we can to educate CBC'ers on what it means for
them and on how to take appropriate steps to stay safe during that
weekend.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

We intend to return to the subject of the overlap between deer season
and CBC with the Division of Wildlife after this year's season is over.
