season dates to provide a quality hunting
experience for young hunters. Youth hunting
weekends are:
North Zone:
Oct. 6 - 7
South Zone
Oct. 13 - 14
Ohio River Zone:
Oct. 20 - 21
Youth
waterfowl hunters must be 15 years of age or
younger and properly licensed to participate.
Youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult at
least 18 years of age. An adult may accompany
more than one youth. The accompanying adult may
not hunt waterfowl that day (except snow geese,
brant and white-fronted geese where season is
open).
If the accompanying adult does not intend to
hunt and does not posses a firearm, the adult
does not need to be licensed. Bag and species
limits are the same as those allowed in the
regular season.
Waterfowl hunters must register with the Harvest
Information Program (HIP). Hunters can register
by visiting the DNR Web site at
www.wildlife.IN.gov (click on "HIP
registration"), or register by calling (866)
671-4499.

No more than one bird of either sex may be
taken in the fall turkey season, regardless
of method. A separate turkey license is
needed for the spring and fall turkey
season, regardless of success. For example,
if a hunter is not successful for the spring
turkey season, the purchase of a fall turkey
license is still necessary to hunt turkeys
in the fall.
