The number I saw for Ohio's seven day general firearms hunt was pushing 87,000. (They also have a short December firearms hunt.)

That said, numbers by themselves, don't tell the story.

If that 87,000 number is accurate....it represents less than 40% of the overall harvest of 220,000 animals.

Compared to Indiana's sixteen day general firearms season, which produced 74,500, or nearly 55% of the total harvest of 136,250 animals.

In this case, significant difference in general firearms season timing and length produced significant differences in harvest percentages.
