That total is the highest since 218,910 deer were taken during the 2012-2013 hunting season. The ﬁnal harvest totals represent all deer taken during archery, gun, muzzleloader, and youth hunting seasons that began Sept. 26, 2020. An average of 180,921 deer were harvested during the last three years. Since September 2020, hunters harvested 94,691 deer with archery equipment, while 86,853 deer were taken with ﬁrearms during the weeklong and two-day gun seasons. In addition, 9,708 deer were harvested with muzzleloaders. Young hunters found success during the two-day youth season with 5,795 deer harvested. “We are pleased to see an increased number of deer taken this season as Ohio’s hunters spent more time in the woods during the fall and winter,” said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker. “Hunting provides a great connection to the outdoors as well as a direct link to a healthy and natural food source.” The top 10 counties for deer harvested during the 2020-2021 deer season include: Coshocton (6,791), Tuscarawas (6,158), Ashtabula (5,662), Licking (5,549), Knox (5,247), Muskingum (5,172), Holmes (4,833), Guernsey (4,809), Carroll (4,123), and Trumbull (4,015). Meigs County hunters harvested 3,187 deer, while Gallia County hunters harvested 2,438 deer. Deer hunting occurs in all 88 counties and an estimated 310,000 hunters participated during Ohio’s deer seasons, and more than 409,809 deer permits were purchased or issued. Hotspots for deer hunting are found mostly in the eastern regions.

There will likely be no witnesses, and the former president has declined a request to testify. Trump’s second impeachment trial is opening with a sense of urgency — by Democrats who want to hold him accountable for the violent Capitol siege and Republicans who want it over as quickly as possible. The proceedings are expected to diverge from the lengthy, complicated trial that resulted in Trump’s acquittal a year ago on charges that he privately pressured Ukraine to dig up dirt on a Democratic rival, Joe Biden, now the president. This time, Trump’s rally cry to “ﬁght like hell” and the storming of the Capitol played out for the world to see. Trump very well could be acquitted again, and the trial could be over in half the time. Trump is the ﬁrst president to be twice impeached, and the only one to face trial after leaving the White House. The Democraticled House approved a sole charge, “incitement of insurrection,” acting swiftly one week after the riot, the most violent attack on Congress in more than 200 years. Five people died, including a woman shot by police inside the building and a police ofﬁcer who died of injuries the next day. So far, it appears there will be few witnesses called, as the prosecutors and defense attorneys speak directly to senators who have been sworn to deliver “impartial justice” as jurors. Most are also witnesses to the siege, having ﬂed for safety that day as the rioters broke into the Capitol and temporarily halted the electoral count certifying Biden’s victory. Instead, House managers prosecuting the case are expected to rely on videos from the siege, along with Trump’s incendiary rhetoric refusing to concede the election, to make their case. His new defense team has said it plans to counter with its own cache of videos of Democratic politicians making ﬁery speeches. “We have the unusual circumstance where on the very ﬁrst day of the trial, when those managers walk on the ﬂoor of the Senate, there will already be over 100 witnesses present,” Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who led Trump’s ﬁrst impeachment, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Whether you need additional witnesses will be a strategic call.” Democrats argue it’s all about holding the former president accountable for his actions, even though he’s out of ofﬁce. For Republicans, the trial will test their political loyalty to Trump and his enduring grip on the GOP.

There were 36 the graphic images of the siege, Republican senators including Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell denounced the violence and pointed ﬁngers of blame at Trump. But in recent weeks they have rallied around Trump, arguing his comments do not make him responsible for the violence and questioning the legitimacy of trying someone no longer in ofﬁce. Senators were sworn in as jurors late last month, shortly after Biden was inaugurated, but the trial proceedings were delayed as Democrats focused on conﬁrming the new president’s initial Cabinet picks and Republicans sought to put as much distance as possible from the bloody riot. At the time, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky forced a vote to set aside the trial as unconstitutional because Trump is no longer in ofﬁce, drawing 44 other Republicans to his argument.
