OHIO'S ONLINE HUNTING AND FISHING LICENSE SALES UP AND
RUNNING

Governor Taft buys the first Ohio fishing license sold on
the Internet

COLUMBUS, OH - Buying an Ohio hunting or fishing license got
easier today, as the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of
Wildlife unveiled its new online license sales system. Any type of hunting
or fishing license or permit is now available via the Internet at
ohiodnr.com.
Governor Bob Taft kicked off the system, purchasing his new
fishing license for this year.
"I hope everyone who enjoys Ohio's many hunting and fishing
opportunities takes advantage of this truly convenient service," said Taft,
who has challenged state government to make more services available through
the Internet.
Last year, approximately 400,000 hunting licenses were sold
in Ohio, while anglers bought around 800,000 fishing licenses. Ohio is
considered one of the top destinations in the Midwest for white-tailed deer
and wild turkey hunting. Lake Erie and its tributaries annually draw anglers
from around the country who fish its waters for record-sized walleye,
smallmouth bass, yellow perch and steelhead trout.
