ODW Update for January 9
Provided by the Ohio Department of Wildlife for Northwest Ohio – Wildlife District Two
State Wildlife Officer Matt D. Smith, assigned to Huron County, received a message from a deer processor regarding a bullet lodged in a white-tailed deer that was dropped off for processing. Officer Smith visited the processor and collected the bullet. Officer Smith learned that the deer was initially shot with a crossbow and the hunter took a follow-up shot later that night with a handgun. Officer Smith issued a summons for taking a deer outside of legal hunting hours, and the hunter was found guilty in Norwalk Municipal Court. The hunter paid $325 in fines and court costs and had hunting privileges suspended for one year. The deer was forfeited to the Ohio Division of Wildlife and will be donated to Huron County food banks.
State Wildlife Officer Levi Farley, assigned to Paulding County, was on patrol when he noticed a distressed woman along the road. Officer Farley realized the woman had fallen and struck her head. He helped the confused woman into a nearby chair and provided water while they waited for paramedics to arrive. She was transported by ambulance to the nearest hospital and treated for her injuries.
