About Us:

The United Conservation & Outdoor Association of Hancock County, Inc. was chartered as a non-profit corporation in the state of Ohio on March 15, 1938. However, Dr. J. C. Tritch formed a group in 1914 at Buckley’s Drug Store for the purpose of forming a permanent organization to protect fish & game. The permanent organization to come from this early meeting was the “Hancock County Fish & Game Protective Association”, the forefather of UCOA. The earliest membership records indicate a total of 78 members in 1920.
