If my 19 year old grandson lives with me, does he need a deer license to hunt on my property?
Thank you.

According to the Indiana Code, posted below, the only individuals that are exempt from needing a license is the owner of farmland, the owner's spouse, and the owner's children living with the owner. The exemption applies only to the owner, spouse or children when they are hunting the farmland.
IC 14-22-11-1 "Farmland"; license requirements and conditions; public use airport manager reporting requirements
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.
