It is NOT legal for the adult that is accompanying the youth hunter to possess a firearm during the youth season. I have attached the Administrative rule that applies below. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

I was unable to locate anything in statute or administrative rule pertaining to the American Red Squirrel. Therefore, it is either not native to Indiana or there are not any regulations on hunting them.

Under the nuisance animal regulations, you may take a nuisance animal that is destroying your property. The raccoon is considered a nuisance animal but the rabbit is NOT.
312 IAC 9-10-11

It is NOT legal to shoot asian carp from a boat. There is a statute allowing this UNSAFE practice to be conducted once rules have been established by the Department of Natural Resources and those rules have NOT been established.

It is NOT legal to take catfish with bowfishing gear. The administrative rule that covers bowfishing equipment is posted below.
(h) An individual may, by means of a fish spear, gig, spear gun, bowfishing equipment, crossbow, or underwater spear, take an Asian carp, sucker, carp, gar, bowfin, buffalo, or shad.

The regulations require that Arrows or bolts must be equipped with metal or metal-edged (or flint, chert, or obsidian napped) broadheads.Poisoned or explosive arrows or bolts are unlawful. Upon reviewing the website for Simmons Broadheads, I do not see anything that would make them illegal. If you have further questions, let me know.

Trot lines and limb lines may be used on a lake or reservoir as long as they are not within 300 yards of a dam. All other regulations pertaining to trot lines and limb lines apply. Float lines can NOT be used in a lake or reservoir.
Sorry for the delayed response, I have been out of the office.

You would need the same permissions needed for fishing or hunting.

The landowner would need to contact the Division of Fish and Wildlife to obtain a FREE permit where he could list you as the person going to deal with the situation. The landowner could do this without a permit but since you are not the landowner, the permit would be required. Again, there would be no fee for this permit.

If the landowner gives you a signed letter to hunt and doesn't specify a species, the letter would allow for any legal hunting. However, you adding that to future letters will definitely make it void of any doubt. let me know if you have further questions.

Private lakes, that is those lakes that are not considered public freshwater lakes, conservancy lakes, etc., are considered private waters and the property line is the same as if it were dry ground. So in this situation you would need permission from the other landowner to go anywhere beyond the 50 yards or so that is on your property. Let me know if you need any additional.

Sorry I forgot your other question. To be honest...NO. I do not see it in the future. The harvesting of antlered deer does very little to control the deer population. I believe Indiana focus is controlling the population. A side effect of that and a benefit to hunters is the larger bucks that are being taken. This was not the intent of the rule but it has been a result.

The lifetime comprehensive hunting license covers all your license and stamp requirements to hunt in Indiana with the following exceptions. You are required to register with the Harvest Information Program (HIP) and obtain a HIP number if you are hunting migratory game birds or waterfowl. You will also be required to purchase the Federal waterfowl stamp if you are waterfowl hunting.
Let me know if you need any further information.

The hunter orange requirement is only for ground blinds being used during a season in which hunter orange is required. An example would be during the deer firearms and muzzleloader season no matter what equipment you are using.
It is NOT required during the spring turkey season.

A crossbow can be used to take suckers, carp, Asian carp, gar, bowfin, buffalo, or shad.
The rule was recently amended and was not completed by the time the fishing regulations went to print.

The answer to all of your questions is "yes". You are also correct that the handgun permit only applies to handguns.
