Hey yall, I might be acquiring 10 acres of private land in a new urban zone in NE Ohio that was just passed this year to be allowed to bow hunt (North Royalton). Question, how many here are hunting these new urban zones and where did you go to take your archery proficiency test? How easy/hard was it to get your permit from the police dept. etc? Thanks for the info!
Archery test was easy. 10 yards /5 shots need to score 45 out of 50. Gander Mountain in Twinsburg.
lots of hoops to jump through. Still going though the process but looks like I'll know this week.
I have an 80 acre farm in Medina County, just wondering if all this is worth it. I know there's big deer around but I have big deer on my farm too. Just another option.. Hope yall have a safe, successful season!

Yes I received the permit Tuesday. You have to send a letter to all that are adjacent that you intend to apply for the deer permit. I was told that they do not need to give you permission.
Un real Jumped through all the hoops to be told its not a copy of my liability insurance but the property owner were I am going to hunt insurance . Aint no way they will understand that. Dont get it why dont you need that when you get permission to hunt private property were its legal to hunt? Can see it now telling them they will pay my medical bills if I should fall out of tree. Or better yet be held responsible if some one else or pet should get hurt. Oh well did get to meet a lot of neighbors I didn't no. Bet if they put this on ballot again it wont pass again
Update on getting a copy of homeowners insurance from property owner of property your going to hunt. Got A call back from division of wildlife and they were completely unaware of this action. This was the first they heard of it. Apparently this is not the case in North Royalton. I asked if they new of any permits issued in Parma and they didnt. Guess ill have to cross Srague Rd and meet my North Royalton nieghbors.
Way too much stuff to go through I know plus the permit fee. Some how i made it though all the stuff. Been over run with deer for years now.Hopefully I can thin some out. Between the deer damage permits from the state and the city being in a deer special permit zone here in Royalton I can put a pretty good hurting on them.Should have plenty of burger to pay for the permit.I Did have to give a copy of home owners insurance.I'm hunting my property only though.You also have to call the police dept every time before you hunt.
There are laws on the books already protecting the landowner from any suit from anyone using the land for recreational purposes. This is all about politics and $$ in permits with these city's. DOW needs to jump up and take the lead on these types of issues instead of sitting on their hands like they have since the 80's. Take a test??? Pay to hunt??? whats going on?? I fought these issues in my city a while back and they finally opened it back up with stipulations, but you know what??, if I have landowner permission and a tag in my pocket by the state I'm legal, and they better come help me if I get in trouble.
I agree 100%. Now, in these highly populated areas, I agree you should take a proficiency test to make sure you can at least hit a target consistently and aren't just chuckin arrows out there but the rest of it is all just BS
Update! Parma agreed to hunters insurance Not land owners and I got the permit!
Lot of hoops on this one but it will be well worth it! This was there 5th one issued

Yes, indeed! Hope you whack a Booner! Still, the politics and rigamarole is bit much to put up with. But, it's not like you're hunting out in the sticks, so things will be different. One of the largest bucks I've ever seen in my life was about a half mile from my house. And I live in town!
Congrats on the permits. I wish they'd open the bow hunting in my city (Tallmadge). I'm on 4 acres with access to the neighbor's 7 acres as well! If they charged $150 for a permit, I wouldn't do it though! That's way too much even if I wouldn't have to pay for a deer tag on my property. I wouldn't pay more than $50. To me, it's about how expensive is the meat that you're getting from the deer? At some point it's just cheaper and easier to go buy beef!
