SEVEN HILLS, Ohio — Bow hunting season returns to Seven Hills.
“We offer a deer hunting program, whether you’re a resident or nonresident,” Seven Hills Police Chief Michael Salloum said.

“As long as you complete the application, your land qualifies for the minimum acreage, you pass the archery test and have hunting permits from ODNR (Ohio Department of Natural Resources), we’ll allow deer bow hunting in the city.”
Applications are now being accepted for the white-tailed deer herd archery season, which runs from Sept. 27 through Feb. 1.
The requirement includes having access to 2.5 contiguous acres, which can include multiple properties.
“Most of them find adjacent properties that add up to the minimum of acreage required,” he said.
“There may be one or two that have just enough for one property.”
With a cutoff date of Dec. 31, deer applications are $28 for residents and $55 for non-residents.
“Last year, we had 20 permits issued,” he said.
“The year before, it was roughly about 34, so it all depends on the season. We get anywhere from 20 to 30 permits each deer hunting season.”
In terms of deer kills last season, the chief said 26 were reported.
The chief said last year there were 12 vehicle vs. deer accidents in Seven Hills.
While currently Parma and Parma Heights are actively culling deer, that’s not the case in Seven Hills.

“In 2016, Seven Hills — along with five neighboring communities — asked voters if we should participate in a deer management program,” Seven Hills Mayor Anthony D. Biasiotta said.
“The voters approved this measure. Seven Hills now enters year 10 of seasonal deer bow hunting. There is no plan to change the program at this time.”
