Hunting Written by Administrator The city of North Royalton, Ohio is planning to lift a ban on deer hunting within the city limits for residents with state permits. Ohio residents can apply for special deer hunting permits to harvest nuisance deer. These permits are part of a special program designed to help landowners when deer are damaging crops or orchards or causing other agricultural problems and only apply to anterless deer. The city had previously banned hunting within the city limits even in situations where the landowner had obtained the special license from the state. A resident challenged the ban in a letter to the city council. The letter was forwarded to the Law Director for the city who ruled the ban invalid and unconstitutional. North Royalton has no hunting season and harvesting of deer is limited to permit holders who meet all the legal requirements. The city council is expected to officially repeal the ordinance at their meeting next Tuesday.
