According to the Indiana Code posted below, the property you described would qualify as farmland.
IC 14-22-11-1 "Farmland" defined; license requirements and conditions Sec. 1. (a) As used in this section, "farmland" means agricultural land that is: (1) devoted or best adaptable for the production of crops, fruits,timber, and the raising of livestock; or (2) assessed as agricultural land for property tax purposes.

The bundle allows for you to take two antlerless and an antlered deer or three antlerless deer during the archery, firearms, and muzzleloader seasons. These are only considered a BONUS ANTLERLESS LICENSE during the regular firearms season. This is due to the firearms license (which the bundle replaces) only allows for the taking of an antlered deer. Using it during the archery and muzzleloader season as well as the special firearms season in late December, it is NOT considered a bonus anlerless license due to the regular license required for these seasons (which the bundle replaces) allows for the taking of an anlerless deer.
312 IAC 9-3-2 General requirements and licenses for hunting deer (bb) "Deer license bundle" means a multiple privilege deer license that replaces a valid deer hunting license and allows an individual to take one (1) antlered deer and two (2) antlerless deer or three (3) antlerless deer in accordance with this section and sections 3 and 4 of this rule in the following seasons combined in one (1) year: (1) Special youth. (2) Archery. (3) Firearms. (4) Muzzleloader. (5) Special antlerless only.

The owner of farmland and his dependents can hunt that property without a permit. I have posted the rule as well as the definition of farmland below.
IC 14-22-11-1 "Farmland" defined; license requirements and conditions Sec. 1. (a) As used in this section, "farmland" means agricultural land that is: (1) devoted or best adaptable for the production of crops, fruits, timber, and the raising of livestock; or (2) assessed as agricultural land for property tax purposes. (b) An individual may not take or chase, with or without dogs, a wild animal without having a license, except as follows: (1) An individual who is a resident or nonresident of Indiana while participating in a field trial that has been sanctioned by the director is not required to possess a license while participating in the trial. (2) Subject to subsection (d), an owner of farmland located in Indiana who is a resident or nonresident of Indiana and the spouse and children living with the owner may hunt, fish, and trap without a license on the land that the owner owns.

The only information that I have been able to locate only deals with bringing firewood onto DNR Properties. I have not located anything that regulates the movement from one county to another. Therefore, I would assume the move you wrote about above would be legal.

One of the exceptions listed under the handgun permit statute is while engaged in a legal hunting activity. I have posted the statute below.
IC 35-47-2-1 Version a Carrying a handgun without being licensed; exceptions; person convicted of domestic battery Note: This version of section effective until 7-1-2014. See also following version of this section, effective 7-1-2014. Sec. 1.

(b) Except as provided in subsection (c), a person may carry a handgun without being licensed under this chapter to carry a handgun if: (1) the person carries the handgun on or about the person's body in or on property that is owned, leased, rented, or otherwise legally controlled by the person; (2) the person carries the handgun on or about the person's body while lawfully present in or on property that is owned, leased, rented, or otherwise legally controlled by another person, if the person: (A) has the consent of the owner, renter, lessor, or person who legally controls the property to have the handgun on the premises; (B) is attending a firearms related event on the property, including a gun show, firearms expo, gun owner's club or convention, hunting club, shooting club, or training course; or (C) is on the property to receive firearms related services, including the repair, maintenance, or modification of a firearm; (3) the person carries the handgun in a vehicle that is owned, leased, rented, or otherwise legally controlled by the person, if the handgun is: (A) unloaded; (B) not readily accessible; and (C) secured in a case; (4) the person carries the handgun while lawfully present in a vehicle that is owned, leased, rented, or otherwise legally controlled by another person, if the handgun is: (A) unloaded; (B) not readily accessible; and (C) secured in a case; or (5) the person carries the handgun: (A) at a shooting range (as defined in IC 14-22-31.5-3); (B) while attending a firearms instructional course; or (C) while engaged in a legal hunting activity.

(d) This section may be not construed: (1) to prohibit a person who owns, leases, rents, or otherwise legally controls private property from regulating or prohibiting the possession of firearms on the private property; (2) to allow a person to adopt or enforce an ordinance, resolution, policy, or rule that: (A) prohibits; or (B) has the effect of prohibiting; an employee of the person from possessing a firearm or ammunition that is locked in the trunk of the employee's vehicle, kept in the glove compartment of the employee's locked vehicle, or stored out of plain sight in the employee's locked vehicle, unless the person's adoption or enforcement of the ordinance, resolution, policy, or rule is allowed under IC 34-28-7-2(b); or (3) to allow a person to adopt or enforce a law, statute, ordinance, resolution, policy, or rule that allows a person to possess or transport a firearm or ammunition if the person is prohibited from possessing or transporting the firearm or ammunition by state or federal law.

A reasonable amount of spillage is part of the 'agricultural process' and would not be considered baiting. However, most farmers will make an attempt to clean up the spillage due to the financial benefit it has for them. An excessive amount throughout the area would probably be suspect.

Yes. There is nothing in Administrative Rule that prevents it. However, some people may argue with the ethical side of shooting an animal from the bedroom window or back porch. Some things are legal that some people may not consider ethical.

Ok. The seasons where a gun can be used to take a turkey or to take a deer do not overlap. However, this is not a regulation that limits the number of guns a person can carry with the exception of migratory birds and waterfowl. The federal regulations use the word 'possess' where indiana uses the word 'take'. For example, A person cannot posses a firearm capable of holding more that three shells (federal). A person can take a deer or turkey with the following equipement (state). Let me know if you have additional questions.

The permanent tag or the online registration must remain with the deeer until processing begins. There are not two different requirements. I know that several hunters will maintain the permanent tag with the meat just in case it is brought into question at a later date but this is not required. I apologize for any confusing that this may caused you. I personally would keep either the permanat tag or the onlin number with the deer until it was completely processed and in a state of storage whether it was canned, frozen, or whatever. It just assist the hunter in a situation where the legality of the deer being obtained can more easily be confirmed. However, that is not required according to the Indiana Administrative Rule. I have posted the rule below for your reading enjoyment.
(p) When a deer is registered, the following: (1) At an official deer checking station, the checking station operator must record the permanent seal number on the log, collect the piece of paper described in subsection (m), and give the seal to the individual. The individual must immediately affix the seal: (A) between a tendon and bone; (B) through a section of skin or flesh; or (C) around a branched antler; to prevent its removal (without cutting the seal or the body part to which it is affixed). The seal must be maintained until processing of the deer begins. (2) Using the department's electronic harvest reporting system, the individual who took the deer must record the confirmation number on the piece of paper described in subsection (m). This confirmation number must be maintained with the deer until processing of the deer begins.

A bonus antlerless license allows the hunter to take a doe by any method in season. Therefore you can take a doe with a crossbow, firearm, archery, or muzzleloader depending on which season is in. Let me know if you need further.
