Please help by hitting this petition...
Change.org petition This is utter bullshit and nothing more than a money grab with the licensing fees. Ohio has always been very liberal with coyote and hog hunting, I have a feeling that they are watching other states make a dollar from it and now want a piece of the pie. Why else would you restrict the hunting of a non-native invasive species?

How else are they going to make up for the loss of deer tags due to declining numbers and terrible seasons. [/sarcasm]
Seriously though, maybe if they stopped setting ridiculous hunting regulations that make it harder to hunt, they'd keep their numbers up. Just a few of the bad calls lately have been: 1)Cut the number of waterfowl blinds more than in half 2)Continue to give Ohio bad hunting dates in favor to "keep some waterfowl for the southern states" 3)Cut the number of deer permitted (i know, it fluctuates by year and county, but less = less revenue period) Hell, I'm already shelling out over $100/year to the state (license, wetland stamp, federal stamp, deer tag), nobody wants to pay any more. And they wonder why the number of hunters keeps declining. I will be emailing against this proposal, but last time the response was "we don't care". |

I’m fully expecting to get the boiler plate response from my rep whom I just emailed.

I like the way they put a predator and potential prey on the flyer next to each other and want to license the taking of the predator. Irony is lost in these people. Lots more people keeping chickens and small farm animals and now they want to regulate the defense of your investment?

Quote HistoryQuoted: The proposed regulations allow property owners to take coyotes on their property without a license. There is no possible way I could scratch the coyote population if I was limited to my own property and with a season. There are so few people that hunt these things to begin with and they can adapt so well to their environment it’s insane. Kill a dozen and they’ll have a litter of 16 to back it up this year. Putting any regulation on these dogs is asking for an explosion in an already rising population that’s going to have negative consequences far down the food chain. |

Petition hit. I see coyotes near my house occasionally and I'm on the near west side of Cleveland. If they are here they are EVERYWHERE. I'm guessing that cities are the last places that they venture into and only after other areas are already overpopulated. Clearly they are doing well even with current regulations I don't see the need to tighten them up
