Indiana DEER HUNTING REGULATION SUMMARY 2010
DEER HUNTING REGULATION SUMMARY 2010
Special Youth Deer Hunting Season - Sept. 25 and 26
Last year’s youth weekend harvest was 1,687, a record that, according to deer biologist Chad Stewart, probably coincided with increasing the age restriction from under 16 to under 18, which happened for the first time last year.
Last year, 85 percent of the youth season harvest was female deer, with the remaining 15 percent being button bucks.
The first youth season was 2006. These seasons have been exclusively for antlerless only until this coming season. Youth season typically accounts for about 1% of the season’s total harvest.
More on the regulations:
– Youth under age 18 on the date of hunt can participate.
– Youth hunters can take either a buck or a doe; if a buck is taken, it is the only buck the youth hunter can take that year, except in an urban deer zone; a doe is in addition to all other antlerless deer that can be taken in the regular seasons.
– Resident youth will need a hunting license (apprentice or regular), such as the resident youth comprehensive hunting & trapping license or a comprehensive lifetime hunting license.
– Non-resident youth will need a non-resident youth deer hunting license—firearm, archery, muzzleloader, or bonus antlerless.
– An adult that is at least 18 years of age must accompany the youth hunter during this special season, be licensed to hunt (unless hunting on his/her own farmland), stay in close proximity to the youth while in the field, and not possess a bow and arrow, crossbow, or firearm, and not accompany more than 2 youth at a time in the field.
– Youth hunters must use legal equipment—archery, crossbow, shotgun, rifle or muzzleloader.
– Youth must follow all other deer hunting regulations.
Archery season starts Oct. 1 and runs through Nov. 28
– New changes allow archery equipment and firearms to be loaded, or capable of being fired, before and after lawful shooting hours.
– New changes allow legal archery equipment and a firearm to be possessed during the firearms season, as long as the person possesses both an archery and a firearms license.
– New changes also allow legal archery equipment and a muzzleloader to be possessed during the muzzleloader season, as long as the person possesses both an archery and a muzzleloader license.
– Crossbows can be used only in the late archery season (Dec. 4, 2010–Jan. 2, 2011), unless the hunter has a special disability permit
Urban Deer Zones
– New changes allow archery, extra archery, or bonus antlerless licenses to be used to hunt deer in an urban deer zone
– The city of Warsaw is now an urban deer zone in Kosciusko County.
– A hunter can take 4 antlerless deer (1 per license) or 3 antlerless deer and 1 antlered deer (1 per license) in an urban deer zone; these limits are in addition to the bonus county quotas and other season bag limits.

About Fish and Wildlife Management in Indiana
Fish and wildlife management and public access are funded by fishing and hunting license revenue and also through the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Programs administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These programs collect excise taxes on sporting arms and ammunition, archery equipment, fishing equipment, and motor boat fuels. The money is distributed among state fish and wildlife agencies based on land size and the number of licensed anglers and hunters in each state.

Hunters Helping Farmers sign up starts July 1
Starting July 1, deer hunters who want to help landowners or farmers remove antlerless deer from private property during the regular deer hunting seasons can sign up online at www.IN.gov/dnr/fishwild.
Using an online form, each hunter will be able to select up to two counties that he or she would be willing to hunt. Landowners or farmers who think they need additional antlerless deer removed from their property can then contact their district wildlife biologist for the list of prospective hunters for their area. The landowner would then be responsible for reviewing the information on each application and contacting the hunter(s) of his or her choosing.
There are no special hunting benefits associated with this program, which is designed to connect landowners and potential hunters. The program does not increase a hunter’s bag limit, county antlerless deer quotas, or give the hunter any special considerations or license fee reductions. Hunters selected by landowners to hunt on their property must abide by all Indiana hunting regulations, bag limits, bonus antlerless quotas, and purchase the appropriate valid license(s) needed to take one or more antlerless deer off the property.
The registration form must be completed online from July 1 at 12:01 a.m. to midnight on Aug. 31. There will be no exceptions or extensions to the deadline. Mailed or faxed copies will not be accepted. Hunters who do not have Internet are encouraged to visit a local library offering Internet access. Multiple applications submitted by the same hunter are prohibited and will be purged from the database.
Results from the first year of the Hunters Helping Farmers Program showed increased hunter access occurred, but not from those hunters who registered through the Hunters Helping Farmers list. Based on a random sample of landowners who received information about the program, 44 percent indicated that they made an effort this past hunting season to increase antlerless deer hunting efforts and add additional hunters; however, none of those surveyed used the Hunters Helping Farmers list. Instead the vast majority said they increased hunter access by recruiting local hunters with whom they were already familiar.
Even though none of the randomly selected and interviewed landowners used the Hunters Helping Farmers list, 10 landowners specifically requested a copy of the list for their county and six were interviewed. The two landowners who used the list said they were pleased with the results. Of the four landowners who didn’t use the list, all said they might use the list in the future.
The Division of Fish and Wildlife would like to thank all the deer hunters that registered for the Hunters Helping Farmers program and their willingness to help resident landowners by taking antlerless deer. Although most of the hunters who registered for the program did not get called, hunter access to private lands was increased. One of the best ways hunters can help make this program a success is by telling landowners and farmers about the program.

Error in printed fishing regulations; New Fishing Guide posted online
Error in printed fishing regulations
New Fishing Guide posted online
The large-format version of the 2010 guide is an expanded version of the printed guide available in past years. In addition to regulations, the new online guide includes feature articles on bank fishing, creel surveys, the Brookville Lake bass survey and fishing for walleye, as well as a list of where to fish in Indiana, and many color photos.
The change to an online publication was made to save on printing costs. In lieu of that guide, the six-page regulations brochure referred to above was printed and distributed across the state.
--- For more information: Marty Benson, DNR assistant director of communications, (317) 233-3853, mbenson@dnr.in.gov.
The printed six-page fishing regulations document that was distributed across the state earlier this year contains an error under Largemouth Bass on page 3. The Sugar Creek verbiage under "20-inch minimum size and one-fish daily limit" should be listed under a new separate section called "Special Stream Black Bass Regulations," along with the 12- to 15-inch slot size limit information for the Blue River, which is also incorrectly listed in the Largemouth Bass section on page 3. "Black bass" includes largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass.
A corrected online version of that document can be viewed at http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/2347.htm by clicking on "compact version." The DNR regrets the error.

Goose Pond manager honored
Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area property manager Brad Feaster received the Sassafras Audubon Society’s Don Whitehead Conservationist of the Year award for major contributions to a current conservation cause.
Feaster was recognized for his policies and work in managing the property’s wetlands to maintain the current habitat vital for many species of resident and migratory birds. One of the many tasks he and his crew work on is controlling invasive species such as phragmites and cottonwood trees.
Feaster was instrumental in helping organize the Friends of Goose Pond in support of the goals of wildlife conservation and habitat restoration at the property through environmental education, scientific research, and recreational activities and programs. The friends group has worked with the SAS to provide community days to highlight Goose Pond and its activities. He also helped to stage the two-day Marsh Madness festival, highlighting Greene County destinations, including Goose Pond.

Additional trout releases up north
Additional trout will be stocked in four northern Indiana streams by the Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife before Memorial Day weekend.
The Pigeon River (Steuben and LaGrange counties) will be stocked at County Road 175 North and at County Line Road. Turkey Creek (LaGrange County) will be stocked at County Road 150 North. These stream crossings are located on the Pigeon River Fish and Wildlife Area. The trout stockings schedules for the Little Elkhart River (Elkhart County) will take place at the Bonneyville Mill County Park. The Little Kankakee River (LaPorte County) will be stocked with additional trout at County Road 100 South.
Although these stream sites will be the only areas to receive additional trout in May, fish from the initial releases in late April are still available in most of northern Indiana’s trout streams. Although anglers fishing the more remote areas continue to report good catches, the DNR’s practice of providing additional stockings at a few sites, which began in 1990, provides a bonus and extends trout-fishing opportunities.
More information: DNR Fish and Wildlife Fish Management, phone: (260) 829-6241, nledet@dnr.in.gov.
Division of Fish and Wildlife honors top employees
The DNR's Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) 2009 employees of the year, their residence and work site are:
--Biologist of the Year, Michael Schoof, Sullivan (Kankakee Fish and Wildlife Area);
--Secretary of the Year, Pamela Rausch, Winamac (Winamac FWA);
--Field Technician of the Year, Cindy Devine, Howe (Curtis Creek Trout Rearing Station);
--Program Manager of the Year, Catherine Gremillion-Smith, Camby (Wildlife Diversity Section, lives in Camby);
--Team of the Year, the State Fish Hatchery program.
Schoof , assistant property manager at Kankakee, has been doing property manager duties for well over two years because of the property manager’s health challenges.
Rausch’s award is for outstanding customer service.
Devine had a direct hand in producing and stocking more than 1.65 million catchable rainbow and brown trout, weighing in excess of 825,000 pounds, during 30-plus years of service.
Gremillion-Smith has been the primary protector and promoter of the Nongame Fund and was the main force within the DFW in the nationwide effort to get new funding for nongame wildlife that resulted in federal appropriations to Indiana of about $1 million annually. She has been instrumental and creative in acquiring public lands, including Goose Pond, Tern Bar Slough, and additions to Pisgah Marsh.
The State Fish Hatchery program team’s work resulted in the continuation of Indiana’s premier summer-run Skamania steelhead program for Lake Michigan and its tributary streams, including the St. Joseph River program. This group includes team leader Randy Lang (Zionsville), along with Bodine Hatchery team members Dave Meuninck (Mishawaka), Bob Bell (Mishawaka), Mark Ciesielski (South Bend) and Kyle Banks (Mishawaka); Mixsawbah Hatchery members Tom Schwartz (LaPorte), Rob Ackerson (New Carlisle), Tim Prowant (Walkerton) and Larry Robertson (South Bend); and Lake Michigan Office team members Brian Breidert (Rolling Prairie), Janel Palla (Wanatah), Randy Brindza (Westville), Ben Rhoda (Westville).
