§ 1533.171.

(A) No person, in the act of hunting, pursuing, taking, or killing a wild animal, shall

act in a negligent, careless, or reckless manner so as to injure persons or property. (B) The court before whom any person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation

of division (A) of this section shall report that fact, together with the violator's

name and address, to the chief of the division of wildlife not later than ten days

after the date of conviction or plea. (C) Not later than seven days after receiving a notification under division (B) of this

section, the chief shall revoke, for not less than one year nor more than five years,

each hunting license, fur taker permit, deer permit, wild turkey permit, and wetlands

habitat stamp issued to that person under this chapter.  No fee paid for such a license, permit, or stamp shall be returned to the person. Upon revoking a license, permit, or stamp, or a combination thereof, under this division,

the chief immediately shall send a notice of that action by certified mail to the

last known address of the person.  The notice shall state the action taken, order the person to surrender the revoked

license, permit, or stamp, or combination thereof, and state that the department of

natural resources will not afford a hearing as required under section 119.06 of the Revised Code . (D) If, after receiving a notice under division (C) of this section, the person decides

to petition for a review of the revocation, the person shall file a petition for such

a review not later than thirty days after receiving the notice in the municipal court

or the county court, or, if the person is under eighteen years of age, the juvenile

court, in whose jurisdiction the violation occurred.  The review shall be limited to the question of the appropriateness of the period

of revocation.  The court shall send a copy of the petition to the chief by certified mail together

with timely notice of the date, time, and place of a hearing on the petition.  The filing of a petition for a review shall not stay the revocation during the pendency

of the appeal. (E) No person whose license, permit, or stamp, or a combination thereof, has been revoked

under this section shall attempt to purchase, purchase, apply for, or receive any

hunting license, fur taker permit, deer permit, wild turkey permit, or wetlands habitat

stamp issued under this chapter or engage in hunting during the time any such license,

permit, or stamp, or a combination thereof, is revoked.
