Indiana License Question UPDATED

Primitive Weapon · 12-16-2006, 03:08 PM

I have a question about the Muzzleloader license. I got a doe today but am not sure if the license is still good for a buck or if I have to buy another muzzleloader license?

I may have just answered my own question. Found this in the hunting guide.

Muzzleloader License: 1 deer of either sex.

So, I'll need to buy another license to continute to hunt with the smoke pole.

Can anyone confirm before I waist $24?

Did you tag the deer w/ your ML License or a Bonus Antlerless tag?

If you tagged it w/ your ML license.. then you'll only be able to use your ML with bonus antlerless tags... because the ML license is only good for ONE deer of either sex. You can't legally buy a 2nd ML license.

If you bowhunt.. you can purchase a Late Archery tag.. and bow hunt for a buck though... unless you still have an archery tag from earlier in the season... then you can continue to hunt on the same license.

I believe KBacon is correct. You are only allowed one deer with the Muzzy license. If you had the bonus you could have checked it in with that and kept your muzzy for the buck.

That was a wasted $24 then. DANG!

The property I was hunting was a DNR property, "Splinter Ridge" in the far SE corner of the state.

They have signs posted saying you cannot use bonus antlerless tags.

I do bowhunt and still have my archery license from the early season. I guess I can use it for a buck or a doe for the rest of the season, right?

You are correct... as long as you haven't taked a buck already this year.

How's the hunting been down there in Switzerland County?

I just called the DNR office and spoke to "customer service". The girl I talked to said that you are allowed 1 deer of either sex per license. She said that purchasing a 2nd ML license was ok.
