COLUMBUS__The message from state officials was clear: Come early, stay late for last week’s solar eclipse. New data shows that most people did just that, avoiding the post-eclipse gridlock other states experienced.
During the 2023 white-tailed deer archery hunting season, State Wildlife Officer Ryan Burke, assigned to Hancock County, and State Wildlife Officer Brock Williamson, assigned to Seneca County, investigated a landowner harvest anomaly.
Officers Burke and Williamson discovered an individual had harvested an antlered deer early in the season, and the individual’s wife had game-checked a second buck on behalf of the suspect later in the season. The husband was issued a summons for taking two antlered deer during a hunting season and his wife was issued a summons for checking a deer she did not harvest.

From the organizers, “If you have registered for "Total Eclipse on the Prairie" hike on April 8, please arrive at the nature preserve at 2:30 p.m. If you can arrive a little earlier, we will be making hiking sticks and threading them with special eclipse beads that will change color at totality.
