Ohio residents can renew their hunting and fishing licenses online, at participating agents or with the HuntfishOH app with their phone or tablet.
“All Ohioans have the chance to support the management of fish and wildlife populations, and the vital habitats that sustain them, through the purchase of hunting and fishing licenses,” said Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker.
Resident fishing licenses are $25 and can be bought up to 30 days prior to the expiration of a current license. They are valid for one year from the purchase date. A fishing license is required to fish in Ohio public waters.
The annual resident hunting license fees for the 2022-23 seasons are $19 for adults and $10 for youth. They are available and will be valid immediately after purchase through Feb. 28, 2023. A valid hunting license must be carried by all hunters, regardless of age, to hunt or trap in Ohio.
Funds from license saless, along with excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment, directly benefit wildlife management and habitat conservation efforts in Ohio. They also support improvements to fishing access, shooting ranges and wildlife areas.
Purchase a new one online at wildohio.gov, from participating agents, and through the HuntFish OH app. Deer and turkey hunters can use the app to check-in their harvest. They also can purchase permits, read current regulations and view area maps.
