A golf course just north of Youngstown closed and the new owners are making it a high fence "hunting preserve" I'm not a fan of theis type of place but I hate the idea of antis winning anything. It's all over local media and talk shows.
VIENNA — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has approved a permit to allow the owners of the former Candywood Golf Course on Scoville North Road to operate a hunting preserve on the property.
The applicant is Anthony J Candella, who is a member of the family that owns the golf course.
Officials say they believe the licensing will allow the preserve to offer hunting of white tail deer, but the ODNR was not able to say for sure this morning what game will be hunted.
"After careful review of the application and multiple on-site visits, the ODNR Division of Wildlife determined that the application has met the legal requirements for licensure. The license has been approved," said Jamey Emmert, ODNR Division of Wildlife communications specialist.
A Youngstown woman is planning an April 4 rally outside of the Vienna Township trustees meeting to bring public awareness to the business, which she opposed because of concerns for stray bullets and on moral grounds.
