It’s Hunting Season

Kyle and Matt from Vermilion enjoyed this
beautiful Sunday hunting in Huron

If you have awoken to the sound of gunshots lately, it is not because there is a rash of crimes in Huron.  Hunting season is upon us, and hunting is legal within Huron City limits at the Spoil Site at the mouth of the Huron River.  September 1 marked the beginning of the early season for Canada geese and mourning doves, and September 6 was the beginning of the teal season. (Teal are a small duck.)  All hunters must be licensed and must use non-toxic shot.  Hunting is permitted from sunrise to sunset.  When walking on the pier over the next few weeks, please be aware that hunters likely will be present in the vicinity.  If you are interested in learning more about hunting regulations in Ohio, visit the Ohio Division of Wildlife at http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/wildlife-home/post/migratory-bird-and-waterfowl-seasons.
