Fresh primary-source check per plan 8's 1b (existing raw capture was silent).WebSearch synthesis (wildohio.gov blocked for direct fetch this session) consistently returned Sept. 1-Nov. 25, 2026 and Dec. 12, 2026-Jan. 1, 2027, daily bag 8 / possession 24, citing ODNR's 'Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations 2026-27' (effective Sept. 1, 2026), corroborated across two independent search passes with no contradiction. Rail data for OH was contradictory between search passes (conflicting close dates and no possession figure) and is not yet given a record -- left as a follow-up item.
