www.in.gov/dnr/outdoor/files/or-interlake_esplan.pdfJust read over this "master plan survey" and they are doing away with all types of hunting on this property. I've hunted this property for several, several years. Its a sad, sad day for me, and other hunters.

I too have hunted that area a few times, before I moved to Ky. It sounds like to me they are going to develop the area for recreational ( or development) use, which doesn't include Hunting.
SECTION 2.F: MARKET ASSESSMENT
Overall implementation of the capital improvements
necessary to realize this master plan can occur over
time. Careful planning of additional activities and
uses allows for present and future development as
funds become available and use / demands increase.
Surveys should be used to track user demand. This
can include feedback from pass sales, user surveys,
on-site monitoring and other means. As demand increases,
amenities and features included in the master
plan, can be added.
A variety of marketing and promotional activities
should be initiated immediately, upon completion of
initial infrastructure and facilities. Suggested marketing
includes:
• Signage on Interstate 64 and the planned
Interstate 69.
• Direct marketing to user groups and association
members to announce the site’s expanded
function.
• Advertising in local association publications,
and membership directories.

Sounds like a bad deal to me! What money was used to purchase this property? If hunting license money and taxes on hunting related items were used for the purchase I believe this should be fought.

There has been a lot of 4x4, 4 wheeler and horse clubs getting everything set up down there. It does suck to lose this property for public hunting but it seems that it might be a tad dangerous for all the other sports to allow hunting. Interlake is one of two designated state run 4x4/4 wheeling areas and it's sorely needed, at least as much if not more as public hunting areas

It is a very bad deal for those that hunt. I am certain the money from license sales as other taxes on sporting equipment were used. Indiana is loosing more public hunting property than it is gaining. |

Why not just allow 4x4's etc. to run there from Memorial day weekend thru Labor day weekend, and the rest of the year it would be open to hunters?
