Here are the totals for shotgun week. Looks like it was down almost 10,000 deer compared to last season. Also I put in the counties and there numbers this year and last years numbers in parenthesis. Looks like it was pretty much down across the board.

Hunters checked 65,485 white-tailed deer during Ohio’s 2014 gun hunting season, Dec. 1-7, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).

Rifles using specific straight-walled cartridges were allowed during Ohio’s deer-gun season. Gun hunters took advantage of the new opportunity and checked 5,360 deer with straight-walled cartridge rifles.

Hunters have checked 148,830 deer so far in all 2014 hunting seasons, compared to 162,720 at the same point last year. Hunters harvested 75,408 deer during the 2013 deer-gun season.

wow definitely didn't expect a DECREASE in kills :smiley_blackeye: Definitely with how the trend has been lol I'm not sure what the ODNR thinks when the see the numbers decreasing every year. Hunters must be getting lazier.
