I only recently found out Ohio had switched to online Hunter Safety Course. Also found out my son can have an apprentice license and carry his own gun as long as I'm right beside him.
Oddly, when I lived in KY, I couldn't buy a hunting license unless I took the KY course...even though I grew up in Ohio, passed theirs and hunted for 10 years prior to moving. I never did get a KY license. After moving back to Ohio, I had zero issue getting an out of state KY license and deer hunted down there several years.
