There is no way Indiana will ever compete with Iowa, Kansas, Illinois and Wisconsin considering their 32 gun rut days. The one buck rule was significant and resulted in book bucks increasing, but not like the #1 trophy management tool, gun seasons. So whatever you have read is tainted. I lived and hunted in prime Indiana deer habitat for 47 years before moving to Illinois. I have also hunted Iowa, Kansas and Illinois for 15 years, so I am reasonably experienced to state my opinion.
