Hunters helping Farmers

[csaws]

Anyone register for it? Did you get a lead or get setup with a farmer?

 

[Chance]

Not a word...

Registered for it as soon as it was available. Not one word from anyone. Haven't heard of anyone else getting a contact either at this point.

Same here, I did however just find this (don't remember seeing it before)...

Hunters Helping Farmers Program
The purpose of the Hunters Helping Farmers program is to put farmers, who want to increase deer hunting pressure on their property, with deer hunters who are willing to harvest antlerless deer. Starting July 1 and continuing through August 30, deer hunters who would like to help landowners or farmers remove antlerless deer from private property during the regular deer hunting seasons can complete the application form below. Each hunter will be able to select up to two counties that they would be willing to hunt. If a hunter submits more than one application, only the first will be utilized for the Hunters Helping Farmers program. Landowners or farmers who feel they need additional antlerless deer hunting efforts will then be able to contact their District Wildlife Biologist and request a list of hunters who indicated that they would be willing to hunt the private property in that county and harvest one or more antlerless deer. It would then be up to the farmer to review the information each hunter submitted on their application and contact the hunters of their choosing.

In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, Indiana DNR will not allow children under the age of 13 to sign up for the Hunters Helping Farmers program due to the fact that DNR will disclose the information collected to a third party (farmers) without direct prior consent of the child’s parent or legal guardian

I haven't heard anything either and I applied early. I really didn't expect much since I applied in very urban counties.
