Central Ohio – Wildlife District 1
While on patrol during the white-tailed deer gun-hunting season, state wildlife officer Chad Grote noticed two loose horses running away from their owners in Union County near the Marion County line. State wildlife officer Brian Motsinger and state wildlife investigator Justus Nethero were close by and were called in to assist. They helped keep the horses off the road and away from vehicles as well as corral them back to their pen. Although catching horses is not something wildlife officers are tasked with on a daily basis, they are always ready to assist in matters involving public safety.
