OHIO, USA — Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) will no longer grant fishing and hunting licenses to people who live outside of Ohio.
In a release, ODNR states that this is a temporary suspension and restrictions will be lifted when COVID-19 guidelines change.
“People entering the state are being asked to self-quarantine for a period of 14 days, making recreational travel unfeasible,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “We look forward to reopening license sales when hunters and anglers can safely return.”
If you a non-Ohio resident and have a license to hunt or fish in Ohio, ODNR asks that you follow the Ohio Department of Health’s guidelines and self-quarantine for 14 days before heading out.
