Outdoors notebook | Weather blamed for Ohio’s lackluster deer season

As of Tuesday Ohio’s deer season total, including the bow kill, was at 175,832 deer, some 5,100 behind the total of a year ago. Ohio Division of Wildlife biologist Mike Tonkovich had forecast a 2016-17 harvest of about 200,000 whitetails, bettering last year’s total of 188,335, though such an outcome now seems unlikely.
