They should be purchasing the Apprentice 2021-2022 Youth Consolidated Hunting License. The license covers all required licenses for hunting and fishing. The license does not cover the Federal Waterfowl Stamp. The youth is still required to obtain a HIP number if required for the species being hunted.

Indiana Code requires a hunter to have permission of the landowner to hunt on property owned by the land owner. While the hunter is not technically hunting when retrieving his dog from property the dog is on without consent of the owner, the hunter would be advised to obtain permission of the owner prior to retrieving the dog.
Nothing in the trespassing statute provides for exceptions regardless of the animal or property being retrieved.

Here is my understanding: You have purchased a bundle license. In October, you harvested a deer with a crossbow. You checked the deer in as a bonus antlerless deer in Perry County. You have two tags remaining under the bundle (two antlerless deer OR one antlered deer and one antlerless deer). You have one deer that counts towards the bonus antlerless quote in Perry County as well as towards the state limit.
Hope that answers your question.

Yes, the statements are correct.
You can use the bonus antlerless licenses. It is your most intelligent approach as it allows you to use whatever equipment is legal at the time instead of only during a season. In addition, a firearms license can only be utilized to take an antlered deer. You definitely do not want to take an antlerless deer with a firearms license.

My apologies. The intention of my response was to bring attention to the fact that certain rifles, based on barrel length, require additional items to be legal. I did not include the words "16 inches or". That was my mistake in wording. As the 16 inches or "longer than 16 inches" was directed at the requirement to have a stamp or not have a stamp from the ATF, the regulations established from the ATF would apply.

The Deer Bundle License allows you to take three deer. The combination can be three antlerless deer OR two antlerless deer and an antlered deer. The Deer Bundle License cannot be used as a reduction zone license. Here is a link to the online hunting guide pertaining to licenses: www.eregulations.com/indiana/hunting/deer-seasons-licenses-equipment

The Bonus Anlerless license does not require you to take an antlered deer prior to utilizing the bonus license. The reduction zone requires an antlerless deer be taken prior to taking an antlered deer.

If the firearm is designed to be fired from the shoulder, it is a rifle. The firearm must have a barrel longer than 16 inches or have the appropriate ATF stamp. If the firearm is a rifle but modified to have a pistol grip instead of a stock, allowing the firearm to be fired one-handed, the barrel must be longer than 18 inches to be legal to hunt with as stated in the Indiana Administrative Code.
IC 14-22-2-8 Deer hunting; permitted firearms; required report
Sec. 8. (a) This section applies to a hunting season beginning after June 30, 2016.

Trapping on DNR property varies from property to property. A person needs to contact the particular office of the property they desire to trap.

A compost pile would not be considered bait. The casual observer of the pile would be able to determine if it is an actual compost pile in comparison to a pile of bait. Compost would consist of items unfit to be consumed as a food source. Other factors will support the pile being compost instead of bait.

The Indiana Administrative Code does not distinguish between private and public property. However, some FIsh and Wildlife Areas have special rules based on unique circumstances for the respective property. I would recommend confirming with the property office. I am unaware of any property not allowing the air rifle.

The Hunter Education Certification is required for any person born after December 31, 1986 to purchase a hunting license. If the person is exempt from purchasing a license (owner of farmland or a dependent living with the owner of farmland) the person would not be required to have Hunter Education.

It does not meet the definition for muzzleloader in Indiana.

It is less confusing when you read the entire statement in context along with the example provided. What the Hunting guide states is:
"Antlerless deer harvested with the deer license bundle must be used toward the bag limit for bonus antlerless deer in that county as well as the archery and muzzleloader bag limits. For example, during archery season the third antlerless deer harvested counts toward the bonus antlerless county quota, in firearms season any antlerless deer harvested must count toward the antlerless quota, and during muzzleloader season, the second antlerless deer counts toward the county quota."

By the strictest definition of your question, the answer to both of your questions is "YES."
However, the restriction on a climbing device has the term "at night" as part of the prohibition.
As for the axe and saw, this regulation pertains to a person who is hunting and not someone who is cutting firewood to heat their home.

I believe I understand what you are asking and I will make an attempt to answer you based on that understanding. If I completely miss what your question is, please let me know.
If a person is hunting in a county that has a bonus antlerless quota of 1, here is the breakdown of the deer that may be taken in that county. For this scenario, the hunter is only hunting in the one county.
archery two antlerless or one antlerless and one antlered (you are allowed one antlered deer per year) firearms one antlered deer (unless you have already taken an antlered deer) Muzzleloader one antlerless OR one antlered (unless you have already taken an antlered deer) one bonus antlerless may be taken during any of the seasons above with the legal equipment for that particular season.
Depending on how you harvested your deer, the maximum number of antlerless deer a person could take in a county with a quota of one antlerless deer is four (two during archery, one during muzzleloader, and one bonus)
Again, let me know if that did not answer your question.

I will begin by stating, I am not familiar with the area you are inquiring about. I would recommend you call our Central Dispatch Center at 8128379536 and have a local officer contact you.
The following applies regardless of where you hunt.
The person hunting is required to have permission of the landowner prior to hunting. In addition to obeying all state regulations, a person must abide by all local ordinances (discharging of firearm or bow). Again, the local officer can provide much greater insight pertaining to the particular area you are wanting to hunt.

A person cannot trap squirrels during the hunting season. "Hunt" allows a person to take a wild animal by authorized means except trapping.
