Special Season for doe in Dec?

[hornharvester]

The way I read it the special doe season between Christmas and New Years will be another season and hunters will have to buy a license for that week. Did I read it wrong. My local paper had all the deer season changes in their paper Friday night and the way it read you will need another license for that week, other words your bonus tags wont be good. h.h.

Since I have a LHL I don't "have a dog in this fight" and don't much care...but, it only seems right to me that a single doe license should be all that is necessary to hunt "antlerless with a gun". We'll see what the archery guys decide is best for us.

My understanding is that you have to use a bonus doe tag for the 2 day in October and the Xmas seasons.

Hope this helps.

From what my local paper said the Xmas season is a new season and requires a separate license so you have to buy a license for the xmas season. My understanding is you wont be able to use left over bonus tags. Am I wrong? h.h.

The proposal says..


Adds an antlerless deer only firearms season in October (2 days only) in counties with an antlerless quota of 4 or more. The hunter may take the number of antlerless deer in each county allowed under the bonus county quota.

Adds another antlerless deer-only firearms season from December 25 through January 1 of the following year. The hunter may take the number of antlerless deer in each county allowed under the bonus county quota.


(j) An individual may take a deer during the special antlerless deer season established in section 4(h) of this rule only if:
(1) issued a license to hunt deer with:
(A) a resident extra deer license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(18);
(B) a nonresident extra deer license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(19); AGENDA ITEM #12 6
(C) a resident youth consolidated hunting license under IC 14-22-11-10(b) or IC 14-22-12-1(a)(24);
(D) an apprentice license of the types identified in clauses (A) through (C) under IC 14-22-12-1.7;
(E) a lifetime comprehensive hunting license under IC 14-22-12-7(a)(4); or

Not being a lawyer, but I read more licenses for more seasons.

The way to fix that is to not buy any antlerless license.

Great more easy to comprehend Indiana deer regulations.

The way I see it is all you need is a bonus antlerless license. Of course I will probably have my bow in hand, so it doesn't really matter to me anyways.

ok so what I don't get is this rule change affecting this hunting season or next? I've pulled up the 2010-2011 hunting guide and is still saying the same old same when it comes to the seasons and when they run. so am a little confused

[mrfixit]

The changes are being proposed for next year, the 2011 season.
