Hunting small game with slingshots in Ohio


Hunting small game with slingshots in Ohio
The Issue
As hunters and sportsmen, we are constantly seeking the excitement and challenges of putting wild food on the table. When hunting for small game such as squirrels and rabbits, we can challenge ourselves by using a rifle, shotgun, or bow. However, there are other possibilities for taking this game. The slingshot is one such possibility and with today's advances in the design and manufacturing of modern slingshots and ammunition, no time is better. With adequate killing power for small game, the slingshot is a versatile and inexpensive way to help fill the freezer and has already been accepted for use in other states including our neighboring Kentucky. Allowing the use of the slingshot may also enable young hunters or hunters without much money to get into the sport more easily, which will also help to find wildlife management through the sales of hunting licenses.
I hope you will consider the allowance of the slingshot for small game hunting in future seasons in the state of Ohio.
Thank you.
