Default RE: Indiana question

Since you claim residency in Ohio, it appears you qualify to hunt under a non-resident landowner tag in Indiana. Some facts about Indiana hunting:

Hunting
You must have and carry a valid license and applicable state stamps to hunt any wild animal, with exceptions as follows
[ul][*]Residents or non-residents participating in a field trial sanctioned by the DNR director.[*]Landowners, or lessees of farmland who farm that land and are residents of Indiana, their spouses and children living with them, while hunting, fishing or trapping on the land they own or lease.[*]Residents of Indiana engaged in full-time military service and who are carrying their leave orders and a valid Indiana driver’s license or Indiana voter registration card.[*]Non-resident military personnel on active duty and stationed within Indiana may hunt or fish with a resident license.[*]An individual who is less than 13 years of age; does not possess a bow or firearm; and is accompanied by an individual who is at least 18 years of age and holds a valid license. [/ul]
Indiana Resident
A resident is a person whose true fixed and permanent home and principal residence has been in Indiana for 60 consecutive days prior to purchasing a license or permit and who does not claim residency for hunting, trapping or fishing in another state or country, other than the U.S. All others are non-residents.

Harassment of Hunters, Trappers and Anglers
It is illegal to intentionally interfere with the legal taking of a game animal by another person on public land, or on private land without permission of the landowner.

Non-resident landowner exemptions
Some non-resident Indiana landowners are exempt from Indiana hunting, fishing and trapping license requirements.

Indiana law exempts a non-resident landowner according to the exemption that the non-resident’s state provides for Indiana residents. The non-resident must possess proof of ownership of the farmland while hunting (i.e. tax receipt).

Owners of Indiana farmland, their spouses and children who live with them are exempt from license requirements while hunting or trapping on their land if they are residents of one of the following states and meet the additional listed conditions:
[ul][*]Vermont[*]Iowa (small game only)[*]Virginia[*]North Carolina[*]Wisconsin (small game only)[*]Ohio [/ul]
Landowners who are residents from states not listed must have and carry a valid non-resident license to hunt any wild animal. All non-resident landowners are required to have a valid non-resident license when hunting on land other than their own.
The law does not exempt non-residents who lease land in Indiana. Non-resident lessees are still required to purchase non-resident hunting and trapping licenses.
