Ohio set to legalize dove hunting and raise licenses
Ohio legislators plan two bills to legalize dove hunting and raise hunting and fishing licenses. The Wildlife Conservation Act would require first time hunters and trappers to complete training, add a trapper permit, and boost fees to seven dollars for licenses and five dollars for trapping, with agency fees rising 75 cents. The dove bill would add mourning dove to existing law, letting the wildlife chief set seasons.
