Info

One of the goals of the enhanced Wild Ohio Magazine is to provide all outdoor enthusiasts a magazine that is more ... ... more information, more wildlife, and more Ohio. WHEEL BUG As you turn the pages of this issue of Wild Ohio, we want to bring to your attention an important theme – Ohio. Our featured photographers are Ohioans, taking pictures in Ohio, of Ohio’s wildlife. Many of the photos were uploaded onto our online photo gallery, where professional and aspiring wildlife photographers have shared their point of view with everyone who views the gallery at wildohio.com. The photo gallery is one of the most popular places on the website, especially during the annual deer-gun season. Photos submitted to the photo gallery have been published in brochures, regulations, and the pages of your Wild Ohio magazine. Interested in sharing Ohio’s wildlife from your perspective? Visit wildohio.com and upload your photos, or send your shots and contact information to wildohiomagazine@dnr.state.oh.us W I L D O H I O M A G A Z I N E hey photographers! INTERESTED IN SHARING OHIO’S WILDLIFE FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE? O H I O P H O T O G R A P H E R JOSEPH KERNS Joseph Kerns enjoys wildlife while hunting, fishing, birding, and behind the lens of a camera. Kerns’ favorite subject to photograph is raptors – particularly eagles. Photography is a hobby for Kerns, and he suggests that those interested in photography should approach wildlife the same manner a successful hunter does – with steady patience. MANY PEOPLE BENEFIT FROM WILDLIFE’S WEBSITE AND PHOTO GALLERY! “I visit the Division of Wildlife’s website to see updates to regulations, watch the falcon cam, check the photo gallery, and just to feel in touch with home. Traveling to other states, I can say that Ohio’s site is one of the best. I look forward to coming home every deer season that I am not forward deployed.” R.
