Does anyone in Indiana hunt?
 

i just moved to indiana just over a year ago. in that time i have only met a few hunters. none of what are helpful in my quest to find hunting land.
i live in the center of the state in Marion, Grant county.

so!!!! i am asking if anyone hunts in this area and could point me in the right area or even better yet tell me where some hunting land is available. i am desperate even so that i would hunt state land. the salamonie reservoir is about 45 minutes away and with gas prices i cannot afford to drive that far to hunt.

i am a full time student, part time employee, full time father to 3, and avid hunter.

any help would be much appreciated.

I'm north of you a ways in Adams County, but hunt in LaGrange County. Either posting an ad locally or going door to door will be your best shot. Hunting land is getting hard to come by....we've all been there before.

Everybody hunts, that's why finding land to hunt is hard. And if you can't drive 45 minutes to hunt, you're really in a world of hurt. Knocking on doors is your ticket and you're in luck - you don't have a Marion Country license plate so you won't get shot at as you come in the driveway.

Hang around on Hoosierhunting.com or huntingindiana.com and start networking and you may find something, but best advise is start knocking on doors now.

I live down in Brown County and I hunt yellowwood state forest during early archery season. Thats the only time I hunt on state land because any other time its way to crowded.

Yes, but Im in SE Indiana.I hunt turkeys every spring in Morgan and Marion county in central indiana, but its on private land that some of my buddies have a lease on. Try knocking on doors and offering to do some chores around farms in return for hunting permission. Good luck to ya..

I live in NE Indiana. Private hunting ground is getting very hard to come by. Either someone else hunts it, or the land owners have liability issues. Even with a sign waiver people are hesitant to let others on their land. There is some state ground open to the public but is likely crowded. I am fortunate enough to have a good friend with 80 acres who lets me hunt all seasons. Until last year I could only get on during ML deer season. Now I have exclusive rights since the other guys didn't set uo on opening day of archery, shotgun etc. My buddy said I was the only one who showed up opening day so everyone else was done. Me and my buddie are now going to build a permanent elevated tower blind in his woods. He may even run power to it since he's an electrician and already has the materials to fo it. Can't wait!!!!
