Ohio fish and game license bill for hunters and nonresidents
The Ohio Fish and Game Commission prepared a hunter license bill to fund enforcement and conservation. Residents hunting off their land would need a $1 annual license, carried on the person. nonresidents pay $15. The license funds go to the state treasury for protecting birds, fish, and game, and the measure aims to record licensed hunters, reduce landowner burden, and target violators while not restricting overall hunting.
