Did you know that some veterans can get FREE Ohio fishing and hunting licenses?
Veterans living in Ohio for at least the past 6 months who meet the Division of Wildlife criteria
(for example, disabled veterans or former POWs) are eligible for FREE Ohio fishing licenses.
Note that this review may take a few months to process, but it is good for the next 5 years.
