September 15 is the opening day for me in Indiana. I live in an Urban deer zone, meaning I can take more deer and earlier then nonurban zones. Season runs from September 15 to first week in January. With a 5 day break in hunting between Shotgun and muzzelloading seasons. Could take up to 10 deer, only one buck though. At $25.00 per tag, it gets pretty expensive. One doe and one buck will suit me.
