Enrollment opens for Ohio Landowner-Hunter Access Partnership
Enrollment has opened for the Ohio Landowner-Hunter Access Partnership, a program meant to incentivize “property owners to provide land access to hunters.”
According to an Ohio Department of Natural Resources, enrollment for the program, which launched back in 2021, is open through July 15. ODNR said almost 20,000 acres have enrolled since the program began.
“Landowners can receive annual payments ranging from $2 per acre for crop land to $30 per acre for perennial wildlife habitats such as grasslands, wetlands, and forests,” the release reads. “Enrollment contracts are two years, with the possibility of re-enrollment.”
Hunters can access these lands from September to June, assuming they have a free daily access permit. Those permits are given out first-come-first-serve in order to not crowd land according to a press release from ODNR.
The hunters are given rules for the property, and the owner of the land is told when hunters will be on their property.

Number One 2025 Wide Receiver Picks Oregon Over Ohio State
![Number One 2025 Wide Receiver Picks Oregon Over Ohio State](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_3000,h_1687,x_0,y_326/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/buckeyes_now/01j2029zymfmx7z3p11d.jpg)
Recruiting fireworks put a close to this 4th of July as the top wide receiver prospect in the 2025 class made his official commitment to the Oregon Ducks.
Dakorien Moore chose Oregon over Ohio State, Texas and LSU.
BREAKING: Five-Star Plus+ WR Dakorien Moore has Committed to Oregon, he tells me for @on3recruits
The No. 1 WR in ‘25 chose the Ducks over Texas, LSU, & Ohio State

Moore was previously committed to the LSU Tigers since August, but decommitted back in May. After reopening his recruitment it appeared like LSU had slid down the list despite remaining in his top four.
The Oregon Ducks are not only getting the number one overall receiver in the 2025 class, but also the number three overall prospect in the country.
The 5’11” and 182-pound star receiver from Duncanville, Texas caught 65 passes for 1,303 yards and 15 touchdowns in his junior season. When asked on Instagram live during the announcement about whether he would change his commitment again, Moore stated that he was done after this and putting all of his focus towards his senior season.
Prior to Moore’s commitment to the Oregon Ducks, On3 ranked Oregon at fifth overall in the 2025 rankings and 247 Sports has the Ducks at seventh overall. Moore will not only be a great bump for head coach Dan Lanning’s group, but will also potentially be able to make an impact early due to several veteran receivers prepared to go to the NFL in the next year or two.
As for the Buckeyes, snagging Moore felt like more of a long-shot but they had a chance. Their next chance to snag a five-star wide receiver is Jaime Ffrench in this same 2025 class. Ffrench is considered the fourth best wide receiver on 247 Sports and the crystal ball predictions have been trending in favor of the Buckeyes over Texas and a few other schools.
