Ohio’s South Zone turkey hunters took advantage of good weather and an abundant crop of 2- and 3-year-old birds by connecting with 4,367 bearded gobblers and a small number of like-dressed hens. That figure is a generous up-tick from the 4,037 turkeys that were shot in this 83-county sector during the 2023 opening weekend.
For the first week of the season in the South Zone, the total harvest was 10,574.
