A permit for pheasants in Ohio??

[toejam]

Hello, I was wondering if I need a permit to keep oheasants in ohio. The person I got them never mentioned anything about them. I was talking with someone and they said I needed one. So do I?

I would contact your local Fish and Game Department. They can let you know the specific laws regarding owning native or non-native species.

You do not need a permit to keep the ornamentals(Goldens,Amherst,Silvers etc)but you do need a permit to keep Ringnecks.

GRG.. may I ask where you found this information at?

I contacted our local game warden.It was many years ago,as Enjaytoo stated,I would call your local Fish and Wildlife Department to make sure.

Yes ,you need a permit for ringnecks, I keep one ,cost 40.00 per year ,if you sell eggs or birds. You must have the person permit # where you got your birds or egg.

The one permit is good for all gamebirds and game animals.
