1. When may I hunt deer in Hudson, Ohio?: September 30, 2017 through February 4, 2018. Only bow and arrow and crossbow and bolt are permitted. Firearms are prohibited, and only deer may be hunted.

2. Where do I check my deer in Hudson?: 1) The State of Ohio, per ODNR rules, requires the checking of deer. Information about the State requirements for checking deer is available on their website: Wild Ohio Customer Center.

2) Hudson also requires a separate check, which can be done online using the Deer Check Form or by completing the form enclosed in the deer hunting permit packet and returning it to the Hudson Police Station. You also may check a deer by phone (330) 342-1800. The separate check allows Hudson officials the ability to gauge the efficacy of the deer management program, as the State of Ohio only breaks down deer harvest by county, not by municipality.
