Deer Bundle the best way to go?

[ilikeguns]

I hunt public land so the bundle is the way to go, in gun season I can take a doe if one walks out. Also love to use the ML and crossbow in the late season.

Be careful with that. Many state properties prohibit bonus antlerless in firearms season.

Got a link to that info?

DNR: Deer Hunting Questions & Answers scroll down to "is a bonus antlerless valid in all seasons" and in that paragraph there is a highlighted link to property restrictions for bonus tags. After looking, it actually prohibits bonus tags in all seasons, not just firearms.

Am i reading the regulations wrong?


With a deer bundle you can take 3 deer. As long as the weapon is in season I can take a doe on DNR property?
I dont read it as a bouns antlerless tag .

that is true for archery or muzzle loader since those licenses are either or tags. However there is NO firearms season doe license. A firearms license is buck only. Therfore the only way to take a doe in firearms season is on a bonus tag and the bundle license acts as such in that situation. The bundle doesn't give anything special, it just acts like whatever license you need at the moment and to take a doe in firearms you need a bonus tag which is not allowed on many state properties. Another instance of Indiana hunting laws being clear as mud.

Where is a good place to hunt on public land? This will be my first year and I don't have many options in the way of private land.

Ive used the bundle every year since its been out and love it, the only thing Ive never been sure of is if for some reason you kill 3 does pretty early could you buy another bundle or would you have to buy a regular tag?
