The Ohio Division of Wildlife has launched its annual lottery, giving hunters the chance to secure spots in exclusive controlled hunts this fall. Tickets for these opportunities are available for just $3, offering participants a chance to pursue deer, waterfowl, and more in select locations across the state, including central Ohio. This initiative comes amid ongoing concerns over limited access to hunting lands, making this lottery a coveted chance for many eager outdoors enthusiasts.
Featuring diverse hunts aimed at various demographics, including youth and mobility-impaired hunters, the lottery seeks to address wildlife management needs while promoting responsible hunting. Interested individuals must possess a valid Ohio hunting license and can apply for multiple hunts—albeit only once per hunt type—until the end of July. With increasing deer populations impacting local ecosystems, hunters have an opportunity not only for recreation but also for conservation through this lottery.
