Licenses and Permits
Buy a license and find the resources ODNR publishes for hunters and anglers.
HuntFish OH App
Ohio's official licensing and game check app. It handles licenses and reporting, not field journaling, so it does not overlap with huntNotes.
Regulations and Rules
The recreation rules by activity, plus the full hunting and trapping regulations.
Game Check and Harvest Reporting
Ohio's online game check, the equivalent of a mandatory harvest report.
A field journal, not a game check tool
ODNR online game check is your required harvest report. huntNotes is the personal record alongside it, with sits, sightings, weather, and waypoints saved season over season on your phone. Free to download.
Hunting Resources and Species
Getting started, wild game cooking, and the ODNR species reference pages.
Fishing
Licenses, fish management, and aquatic education for Ohio waters.
Maps and Public Land
Find wildlife areas and other ODNR properties, plus GIS mapping services.
Education and Programs
Safety courses, citizen science, enforcement reporting, and the ODNR magazine.
