Wildlife Report: Pickaway County Hunter Fined for License Violation
03/04/2025
A recent patrol by the Ohio Division of Wildlife in Pickaway County resulted in a citation for a waterfowl hunter found without the necessary permits.
State Wildlife Officer Brady Stevens, assigned at-large in central Ohio, encountered three hunters at Elmon Richards Wildlife Area while conducting a routine check. Officer Stevens ensured the group had valid hunting licenses, Ohio Wetlands Habitat Stamps, and federal Duck Stamps. During the inspection, one hunter was found to be missing a valid Ohio Wetlands Habitat Stamp, a requirement for waterfowl hunting.
The hunter was issued a summons for the violation and later paid $130 in fines and court costs to Circleville Municipal Court.
