Dual zone waterfowl season proposed in Ohio
The League of Ohio Sportsmen recommends splitting Ohio into Worth and South zones with a continuous waterfowl season in each and Rt. 30 and 30 North as the dividing line. The plan seeks different season dates per zone but identical shooting hours, aiming to avoid lost days penalties tied to split seasons. A Mississippi Flyway harvest differential is urged, with longer seasons favored by biologist Karl Bednarik as equitable for states with fewer waterfowl.
