Indiana is the only state Ive ever hunted. And yes there are some monsters

RE: How come you dont hear about it?
 

i dont doubt theres monsters jus seemed like tome you hear more about ohio illinois the states around it...

RE: How come you dont hear about it?
 

It's a state with conflicting numbers. You can kill over 300 deer in a season but the total harvest numbers are around 150,000. A good 100,000 behind Ohio and we can take about 6 total.

I've seen some monsters from the southern part of the state.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

RE: How come you dont hear about it?
 

read an article about it a while back.

It stated about long rifle seasons...during the rut, I believe, therefore less bucks make it to maturity.

There's no doubt IN has great soils and is a big buck state, just poorly managed is what it comes down to, so mentioned the article, but I had always wondered about that myself. It's centered in between buck states so it should.

I think the article came after a recent change to their law there....somethingto hopefully improve the state.

Personally it sounds like Iowa has one of the best management programs for producing big bucks.

funny thing is i live in Sullivan i hunt public land a fish and wildlife area. There were only 23 bow hunters opening day. and 300 gun hunters opening day. On 8000 acres.
I saw a 11 point buck i would give anything to shoot. But i am lucky this area is the main hunting area for the south and central area of Indiana

RE: How come you dont hear about it?
 

yes you can kill over 300 in you hutn every county. must do not do that for my county the limit is 2 with bow one doe and onebuck or two does. one buck with gun if not taken with bow. A doe or buck with muzzleloader.
Then you get 3 bonus tags. so 7 if you take you buck with a shotgun. you get one buck a year.
