FINDLAY, OH – Special controlled hunting opportunities are available to Ohio residents at the recently purchased Andreoff Wildlife Area, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.

Registration for all hunts takes place on a first-come, first-served basis and open on Nov. 1 at https://apps.ohiodnr.gov/wildlife/educationregistration. The person who is hunting during the mentor-style hunt is required to be designated at the time of registration. Each successful applicant will receive a permit, instructions and map of the area via email.
