What are the deer season dates for this fall?

[EPD1102]

Is Indiana going to change to the new deer season proposals this fall or going to stick with the usual dates? I need to put in my vacation and want to make sure that I get the right dates.
I checked the in.gov/dnr web site and couldn't find the 2011 seasons listed yet. Thanks

No changes for this year..

2011 and 2012 start dates for firearm season

DNR: Projected Firearms Deer Seasons

Opening days

Archery always Oct. 1
Gun season always first Sat. AFTER Nov. 11 runs 2 weeks and then down for 5 days and then muzzleloader starts on the next Sat.

I always heard that it was the Saturday after the second Tuesday in November but I guess that may not matter any more after the proposed changes. I hope they keep it close to the same because not everyone can get vacation at the same time at some places if they only make gun season one week long.

I called the DNR in Indianapolis about two weeks ago asking about the new hunting dates. I was told they will be changing this fall, and they do not have the dates ready yet. The "projected" dates on the DNR web are no where close to reality as they are based on Nov 2000 rules....which have been changed drastically.

That is interesting. I know that the proposed rules (if adopted) will not be ready in time for this fall so the DNR is bound by what was passed before.

Now, the DNR dirctor can issue an "emergency order" making the adopted proposal valid for this year and that woudl chnage a lot, but I don't see him doing that.

Mind if I asked who you talked to up there? I've dealt with the DNR on people who were Indiana residents with lifetime licenses being able to put in for park hunts. Two different DNR folks gave me two different answers.

Ken -
Thanks for your webmail inquiry. The Natural Resources Commission is still accepting comments on this proposal, and there will be public hearings conducted later this year. However, any changes that are approved by the Commission will not be in effect for this year's deer season.

Keep checking our website for updates - here is the direct link: http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/2362.htm ...or sign up for WILD Bulletin to receive the latest fish and wildlife news - http://www.in.gov/dnr/2350.htm.

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, comments or concerns in the future.
