INDIANAPOLIS — If you’re a deer hunter, you know the excitement that comes with these first few cold days of fall.
Indiana Department of Natural Resources has announced dates for deer hunting season this year as follows: Archery hunting is from October 1st through January 4th. Firearm hunting begins November 15th, and goes through November 30th. And Muzzleloader deer hunting goes from December 6th through 21st.
Here are a few things you can do to feed that excitement while getting prepared for the season:
— Visit a DNR shooting range to sight in your equipment.
— Use the Where To Hunt map to make a plan for your hunt.
— Familiarize yourself with DNR’s new license system, the Activity Hub, so that you can get into the field without issues. Pro tip: If this is your first time logging into the new system, you will need to verify your personal information.
The DNR asks you to plan ahead for a successful season, and happy hunting.
