[dak109]

Looks no bonus antlerless season again this year. Most county’s quotas look to be 2.

Bunch of crap. I understand some counties have low density, but not in Lawrence county. Plus, according to what I read, not many took part in season and it didn't hurt herd.

 

[dak109]

Doesn’t seem to any shortage in Brown or Monroe county

Going to build a new hut this weekend. Big oak centered mine in June. T11 siding, a metal roof and plexiglass windows. I'll put in a shelf for my bipod.

Have you guys looked at the licenses? I got online yesterday and was going to get ahead of it, but by the time I added up all my licenses I was planning on I was over $200. Man I missed the boat on the lifetime license years ago.

EHD has hit the herd hard the past several years. I`m glad DNR is adjusting harvest quotas accordingly.

The DNR cannot set county hunting quotas based on small pockets of individual observations. What you`re seeing may not be representative of your entire county. I`d rather they were conservative than as wide open as they`ve been in the past. EHD has hit the herd hard state wide, and it`s true that it can hit some pockets harder and it can be sporadic, bot overall statewide, deer numbers are down.

I bought my Indiana Lifetime Comprehensive Hunting and Fishing license in 2003 and it`s more than paid for itself since then. One of the best, smartest things I`ve ever done. It was expensive at the time, I bout it at the high end, something like $1100, and it was quite a heavy outlay at that time, but it was money well spent. Never mind all the venison, turkey breast, and other various wild game meat I`ve enjoyed, but the time enjoyed in the outdoors is priceless.

I'm curious if depredation permits are down or gone. The farmers I know don't bother with even trying to get them. They rent too much ground and told me permits are harder to get if you don't own the ground.

Farmers by me gut shoot them so they run out of the field and die.

I have not been seeing as many as before that EHD out break I get the bundel and have been able to fill tags 1 in bow 1 in gun and 1 in muzzle loader Have seen a big one at my bow spot dang things have been bedding by my stand but that will change when the time comes. I hope for cooler temps than last years bow season.

Got any data to back up the claim of widespread EHD "past several years"?

Don't remember it being that bad....

Getting me excited, 54 days!

Lagrange and Stueben got hit pretty good.
