Mig, thank you for answering my question so quickly. My next question is why the rule change? These exotic species are becoming more and more prevalent in Indiana, and apparently escaping more often. At the Sportsman's Lodge in Decatur, I saw a picture of a Sika (sp) deer trying to mount a whitetail doe in the wild. It seems to me it would be much better to allow anyone to shoot these intruders on sight when the opportunity is presented, rather than eat up, all ready short staffed (in my opinion) Conservation Officers to hunt them down. I do not believe we should be allowed to hunt theses animals with high powered rifles, just be able to take them with any allowed deer hunting weapon. These invasive species are getting out of control, and do have the potential to mess up our native wildlife, whether through disease or cross breading. I do not agree with this new law at all.
