Unfortunately, the trepassing statute requires that a person had reasonable knowledge that he was not to be on the property he was on. This is typically the reason that people are advised that they should have their property posted with no trespassing signs. Officers will usually issue a warning the first time to have documentation showing that the person is not to be on the property. This is usually dictated from the prosecutor's office so that when charges are filed for trespassing, if the person is caught on the property again, it proves the 'knowing and intentional' parts of the burden of proof. With that being said, each prosecutor is different in the way they deal with certain charges. This in turn will dictate, to a certain extent, how the officer approaches the situation. Although the officer is the one who issues the citation, the prosecutor has the final say on what charges, if any, will be filed. When making that decision, the prosecutor wants to know that he has a strong case for the charges being filed. A landowner can work with an officer and the prosecutor's office to see what measures can be taken for the landowner to document the first encounter with the trespassers or what step the landowner can take to ensure that a reasonable person would know that he was not to be on the described property. Let me know if you have more questions.

What you are describing is a normal agricultural process. It is legal to hunt in the area that you described. The following is the baiting rule.
(s) An individual must not hunt deer with the use or aid of: (1) bait, which includes: (A) a food that is transported and placed for consumption, including, but not limited to, piles of corn and apples placed in the field; (B) a prepared solid or liquid that is manufactured and intended for consumption by livestock or wild deer, including, but not limited to, commercial baits and food supplements; (C) salt; or (D) mineral supplements

The only thing I can find is float fishing which states that the float has to be in constant attendance of the fisherman. I think you are straddling a line between it being legal but being unethical.

It varies from city to city. It depends on how the city ordinance reads pertaining to archery equipment

You will need a nonresident deer license for each deer. The licenses will be for which ever method you plan on taking the deer. There is a seperate license for archery, firearm and muzzleloader season. Each deer license would be $150.00 as well as your first bonus antlerless deer license. However your second bonus anlerless license would be at the reduced rate.
If you have a more specific question, such as the season you are planning on hunting please ask.

A person can hunt with the regular archery license. The validation date of October 1st date is something that the DNR is working on getting changed to the September 15th date. It is actually a typo in the original programming that needs to be corrected. yes on part two dealing with the bucks. That is correct. the distinction is made when the deer is checked in under the 'urban deer' at the check in station. 312 IAC Article 9 is what actually states the fish and wildlife laws. The link to that article is www.in.gov/legislative/iac/T03120/A00090.PDF? Ask all the questions that you need. As Conservation Officers, we encourage people to hunt, fish, and enjoy the great natural resources that our state has to offer. We would rather a person ask questions and participate legally then having to issue a citation because the person did not want to make the effort to ask. Education of the laws along with our outdoor safety courses is one of primary responsibilities.

In formation can be submitted to your local Conservation Officer in several ways. You can do any of the following:
Call either North Region or South Region and leave a message with the information or just leave a message for the officer to contact you.
Call 1-800-TIP-IDNR and report the information
text IDNR to TIP411 and report it by using a text message

Question 1.
(i) An individual may take a deer during the urban deer season established in section 4(f) of this rule only if: (1) issued a license to hunt deer with: (A) a resident deer archery license under IC 14-22-11-10(a) or IC 14-22-12-1(a)(14); (B) a nonresident deer archery license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(17); (C) a resident extra deer license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(18); (D) a nonresident extra deer license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(19); (E) a resident youth consolidated hunting license under IC 14-22-11-10(b) or IC 14-22-12-1(a)(24); (F) an apprentice license of the types identified in clauses (A) through (E) under IC 14-22-12-1; (G) a lifetime comprehensive hunting license under IC 14-22-12-7(a)(4); or (H) a lifetime comprehensive hunting and fishing license under IC 14-22-12-7(a)(5);
Question 2
The licenses to kill/tag a udz buck are listed in question 1. If you do not fill that tag then it can be used during the regular season. If you fill the tag then you could take the regular buck on the extra archery license.
question 3
explained in the answer to question 2.
question 4
extra archery was used because of archery being the first method that allowed for the taking of more than one deer. When the firearm allowed for anlerless deer they called it a bonus antlerless license. In other words, the second deer taken by archery was 'extra'. and being able to take antlerless deer with a firearm was considered a 'bonus'.
Question 5.
Not during the Urban Deer Zone Season only. This really should not be an issue because it would only apply from September 15 to October 1.
PS -
The best way to find your answer is to ask one of the Conservation Officers in your area or actually look at the laws (not the regulations) as they are written by the legistature and put into the Administrative Code.
Good Qeustions by the way.

Unfortunately the answer is no. While using any regular deer license the one buck rule applies even on a military draw hunt. Buying the military refuge license makes you an exception to the one buck rule. The law pertaining to this is very lengthy or else I would post it in here. If you would like to see it I can provide the Indiana Administrative Codes that apply. Just let me know.

According to the following information that I copied off of the US Fish and Wildlife Service website, Both of the scenarios that you described above would be legal. Something to keep in mind when reading hunting regulations. The state level typically will tell you what you can do with everything else being assumed illegal. The Federal regulations typically explain what you cannot do with everything else being assumed legal. For example, The state regulations will explain what firearms are legal for deer hunting and anything not listed is illegal. The federal regulations will explain what methods a person is not allowed to use and everything else would be legal. Hope this helps.
Illegal hunting methods. You cannot hunt waterfowl:
•With a trap, snare, net, rifle, pistol, swivel gun, shotgun larger than 10 gauge, punt gun, battery gun, machine gun, fish hook, poison, drug, explosive, or stupefying substance. •From a sink box or any other low floating device that conceals you beneath the surface of the water. •From a motorboat or sailboat, unless you shut the motor off or furl the sail and the vessel is no longer in motion. •Using live birds as decoys. •While possessing any shot other than approved nontoxic shot. •From or by means, aid, or use of any motor vehicle, motor-driven land conveyance, or aircraft (if you are a paraplegic or are missing one or both legs, you may hunt from a stationary car or other stationary motor-driven land vehicle or conveyance). •Using recorded or electrically amplified bird calls or sounds, or imitations of these calls and sounds. •With a shotgun that can hold more than three shells, unless you plug it with a one-piece filler that cannot be removed without disassembling the gun.

Hopefully you purchased the Apprentice Consolidates Youth License. If you did, that license will cover everything to hunt and fish within the State of Indiana. He will not be required to have a Federal Stamp until he is 16 years old. That he will have to purchase in addition to the Youth Hunting License. However, He will be required to regigister for a HARVEST INFORMATION PROGRAM (HIP) prior to hunting any migratory bird.
(e) A youth hunter may take a deer during the youth deer season established in section 4(b) of this rule only if: (1) issued a license to hunt deer with: (A) a resident youth consolidated hunting license under IC 14-22-11-10(b) or IC 14-22-12-1(a)(24); (B) a lifetime comprehensive hunting license under IC 14-22-12-7(a)(4); (C) a lifetime comprehensive hunting and fishing license under IC 14-22-12-7(a)(5); or (D) an apprentice resident youth consolidated hunting license under IC 14-22-12-1.7; or

(b) During the archery season established in section 4(c) of this rule, an individual must hunt deer only with the following equipment: (1) A long bow or compound bow that has at least thirty-five (35) pounds pull. (2) Arrows that are equipped with metal or metal-edged (or flint, chert, or obsidian napped) broadheads.
I read this to mean that you can only have broadheads.
