Ohio hunters took 116,855 whitetails during the state’s popular weeklong deer-gun season, which ran November 28 to December 4. In 2004, hunters killed a preliminary total of 125,681 deer during the shotgun hunting season.
Counties reporting the highest numbers of deer brought to Ohio check stations last week included Tuscarawas (5,021); Guernsey (4,300); Coshocton (3,973); Washington (3,740); Licking (3,543); Harrison (3,490); Muskingum (3,290); Holmes (3,226); Knox (3,075); and Jefferson (2,963).
So far this year, a total of 167,436 deer have been killed when combining the adult and youth shotgun seasons, as well as the first six weeks of the archery season. That compares to a total of 173,320 killed last year by this time. Hunters took a total of 216,443 deer during all of last year’s hunting seasons.
The statewide deer population was estimated to be 650,000 on October 1, prior to the start of the hunting season. Approximately 400,000 hunters were expected to participate in the statewide deer-gun season.
Hunters still have eight weeks of white-tailed deer hunting available to them in Ohio, as archery season remains open until January 31. The statewide muzzleloader deer-hunting season will be held December 27 through December 30.

Well now I know it isn't just my imagination! When you don't see Athens, Meigs, Morgan and Vinton counties in the list you know something isn't right!
